ETH is undervalued.
Undervalued only if it would successfully launch $ETH 2.0. PoS believers expect it goes higher than $2k.
As of today, 10% of the supply is locked in the ETH 2.0 deposit contract. And the stakers' entry price is now $2,375, -50% from the current price.
My time frame is long-term.
I expect
#Bitcoin
's bull market to continue until mid-next year, with alt season likely occurring at the end of this year or early next year.
My focus is on identifying altcoins being accumulated by whales and holding steady in the coming months.
Buy walls are forming for altcoins with both stablecoin and
#Bitcoin
pairs, but volumes are still low.
If alt season means a surge in volume, it's not here yet.
Now's the time to research promising alts for the next bull run—time might be short once Bitcoin hits a new ATH.
It’s still uncertain whether
#Bitcoin
is in a long-term bear market. If BTC stays above the $45K level, I believe the market could recover at any time.
Everyone is aware of the unfavorable macro environment, and I am no exception. However, my altseason prediction wasn’t based on

Capital shifts from Bitcoin to other crypto assets have always been part of crypto history, just as stock markets rotate from mega growers to other sectors.
Predicting these moves based on narratives alone is tough, but in crypto, we have public access to market and on-chain
$ETH likely isn't at a cyclical top, and alt season hasn't even started. Whale profits are as low as during accumulation, too low to end this alt cycle now.
ETH transaction fee is now around $0.7, -98% down from $36 in May 2021.
It means $ETH has enough hash power to digest transactions. But low fees compared to block rewards represents a lack of demand.
Makes me wonder what would be the next use cases for L1s. Tokenized assets?
I know this is bullish-biased. I think it's bullish when many people are underwater.
We don't know the exact bottom for sure, but talking long-term bearish on ETH at this level also doesn't make sense for me unless you think ETH is going to zero.
BRC20's narrative makes sense, but building an ETH-like ecosystem on
#Bitcoin
is challenging due to limited investments.
Bitcoin OGs prefer just holding $BTC, with less interest in "crypto" projects.
Long-term crypto VCs are less engaged due to lucrative profits on other L1s.
Definition of Legit Crypto Projects:
1. Is there a community?
2. Is the community working on something that requires borderless and decentralized Internet collaboration?
3. Does their collaborative work create societal value?
Which projects meet these criteria?
Bad news: Liquid Staking Tokens utilize 41% of $ETH staked in the ecosystem. Almost 2x leveraged.
Good news: LSTs did not contribute to the recent surge in ETH staking.
When hacking issues occur,
@Tether_to
freezes hackers’ addresses and reimburses $USDT to clients for some cases. Not sure $USDC provide this service as well.
Other stablecoins like $TUSD, $BUSD, $USDP, $DAI, $FRAX, $GUSD don’t support blacklisting.
L1/L2 Active Addresses Comparison in 2022:
$BNB ecosystem has the largest user base in terms of active sender addresses.
*I'll post breakdowns later based on tx patterns to exclude bots.
$WBTC whales are accumulating $ETH.
Since September 2023, they have accumulated 67K ETH ($268M), reaching a total balance of 429K ETH ($1.7B).
Wrapped BTC whales are not retail investors, they're most likely crypto funds. Naturally, they're very bullish on Ethereum.
Notable L1 project solving the right problem with the right solution. Strong, well-funded team aligned with the project's scale. Token not launched yet.
For Ethereum, it's hard to get MVRV and realized price since it's an account-based blockchain, not UTXO-based. It requires assuming virtual UTXOs.
OWAP(On-chain Weighted Average Price) could be an alternative to the realized price to see market cycles.
For 8 years, I've been telling my friends, "We're so early," but lately, I don't feel that's the case anymore.
#Bitcoin
has now become a mature young adult—a well-regulated asset widely recognized by institutions, but a bit boring.
I'm proud that Bitcoin has grown up so well.
@IT_Tech_PL
@ki_young_ju
I agree that only a few projects will survive while many others won't see much growth. However, it's a good time for Bitcoin capital to rotate into other sectors. In the next bull run, some projects will likely offer a better risk-reward ratio than Bitcoin.
If the fiat system collapses,
#Bitcoin
's market cap could reach $142T by absorbing global fiat caps.
$BTC price would be $6,812,659, marking a 161x increase from current levels.
When would this narrative make sense?
We'll see many well-regulated stablecoin-based applications rather than unregistered securities for the next few years.
It's a great time to build stablecoin-based apps if you're a builder.
We have Internet money, regulations coming soon, now we need apps.
Stablecoin whales sold 115K $ETH over the past 7 days but still hold significant amounts.
These are wallets with over $1 million in $USDC and $USDT, excluding CEX and contract addresses.
Honestly don’t know how much longer I’ll be bearing with crypto’s “we are still early” narrative. It’s been 15 years, the industry got so much financial and social capital during the bull run but it seems like it had spent most of it on parties, celebrity marketing and shitcoins
Limitation:
Normally, MVRV ratios for coins other than BTC have low hit rates because:
- People move $BTC to sell; that's why it has MVRV has a high hit rate.
- People move L1 tokens not only for selling them but also for using other services like Defi.
Luckily, I've met many successful and failed entrepreneurs. All of them were truly intelligent people.
The only difference I found was that the successful entrepreneurs focused on hope, while the unsuccessful ones focused on despair.
I expected a wide range of sideways for $BTC during 1Q of 2024 before a parabolic bull run, as is typical with whale trading patterns.
Significant capital inflows into
#Bitcoin
ETFs may bypass the re-accumulation phase, as these new ETF buyers just buy BTC regardless of price.
My apologies. Langauge barrier here.
I didn't mean "entry price" as the price that the ETH was initially purchased at, but as the price when the ETH was staked into the ETH 2.0 contract.
And I think this data is meaningful because:👇
@TrustlessState
Yeah, but I think staking here is the same as long positions that expire when ETH 2.0 launches.
Stakers expected the price would go higher when ETH 2.0 comes.
It's meaningful as it shows the gap between ETH 2.0 futures price and the actual price. Like futures basis or CME gap.
You might want to see MVRV for certain TXs that seem like selling activities - exchange flows and DEX activities to get a better result.
Or just get MVRV for low-utility tokens. If you think there's nothing you can do with the token, check out MVRV data.

Between someone who confidently thinks, 'I will succeed, and this is how I'll achieve in 3 years,' and someone who only talks about enduring hardships supposing they'll fail, who do you think is more likely to succeed?
Stablecoin represents censored Internet money, but not everyone on Earth understands the importance of censorship resistance.
Widespread adoption of
#Bitcoin
as P2P payments is likely to occur once people realize the government censors their financial activities.
2) Leveraged ETH staking
stETH on Aave allows you to leverage your ETH staking to maximise staking returns.
1. Supply your stETH as collateral.
2. Borrow ETH against the stETH.
3. Restake borrowed ETH for more stETH.
Repeat this process as much as your risk profile allows.
Definition of accumulation addresses:
1/ No outflows
2/ Amount of the last inflow >= 100 ETH
3/ Total inflow count >= 2
4/ Balance >= 100 ETH
5/ Have any transactions in the last 7 years
6/ Not CEX or contract address
@C362020
Difference between buy and sell quote volume. Quot volume refers to limit orders, not market orders. Green indicates that the 30-day difference is higher than the 365-day difference.
Some people don’t fully understand this indicator, so here's a brief explanation:
On exchanges, market orders create 'taker volume,' while limit orders create 'quote volume.' Whales and institutions, like market makers and brokerages, usually use limit orders for large trades to
