Speaking of real yields I can earn passively, this is all I ever wanted from @term_labs—it’s finally live. Now I can skip participating directly in loan auctions and just toss USDC in the Term USDC Meta Vault while curators compete to maximize my yield.
It is tempting to chase the highest yields but I value the peace of mind earning real yields off of borrowers depositing blue chip collaterals. The @MoonwellDeFi Flagship Vaults on @base are great examples of such yields--no surprises here (see USDC vault breakdown below).

If you do anything today, please listen to this 3-min clip on what @sharplink Co-CEO @joechalom refers to as The ETH Opportunity... FYI, Joe is the former Head of Digital Assets Strategy at @BlackRock, who drove the creation of IBIT, ETHA, and BUIDL. "The more assets and transactions that are secured on the Ethereum network, have been proven to increase the value of ETH..." "If you look at the last 5 years, for each $2 secured on the network, on Ethereum and the L2s, it's driven about $1 of market cap value of Ethereum [ETH]..." "And if you take a step back and say stablecoins are at this size today, but @SecScottBessent says it's gonna grow to a trillion over the next 3 years, if you look at the adoption of RWAs, which is in the first inning and can literally go j-curve, the value of tokenized assets which could be measured in the trillions or tens of trillions... they are gonna be secured by a decentralized network. We believe the vast majority is gonna be Ethereum. That is a bull case for ETH..." "If more assets are secured on the Ethereum network, the value of ETH will go up, and the value of it being a trust commodity, the highest value of money, is gonna be critically important if you believe we are at a paradigm shift, and that's what I call the ETH opportunity. It's not a trade, it's an ETH opportunity." "And for all of those who feel like they missed the early days of crypto, you are at still a very early entry point in the adoption of Ethereum and that is the long term ETH opportunity, not the ETH trade." ACCELERATE 🚀
As ETH bulls, there's lots to smile about lately 🐂 Including a new @edge_pod dropping today with @sharplink Co-CEO @joechalom and @Consensys CSO @0x81B on why they're committed to growing investor access to ETH, combined with novel exposure to ETH yield through $SBET 👀

Eight years ago, I had… + Less than $10k saved + $25k in student debt + $18k in credit card debt + 5 different jobs in 5 years Was working my ass off but given 2 kids under 2, we made just enough to pay $3k per month for an apartment, $4000 in childcare, and basically did nothing outside of going to public parks, spending time with friends to save money. I couldn’t even afford a flight cross country home without a panic over how we budget for it. Here’s a few of the many disasters along the way… In Jan 2018, one of our 2 cars (a 2013 Prius) that was actually worth more than our remaining loan balance of $8k blew a head gasket, Toyota said “wow never seen a lemon like this” as it was only 4 years old. That car ended up being worth $4k to trade in while I owed $4k more, money which we would draw from a savings that barely existed so I bought a $7k 2011 Nissan Leaf from their lot, it was the fastest cheapest solution and ended up being a disaster given the car could only drive 50 miles per battery charge even though Toyota sold me it as is saying it went about 80-90 miles per charge. Then I got smacked with a $12k tax bill by the State of California in May 2020, deep into COVID mania claiming we checked a box wrong in 2016 in TurboTax related to maternity leave with our first kid, and they were reaching out just at the 4-year limit to make us aware we not only owed $8k but they charged us max interest over 36 months for being late and would not consider forgiving the interest. Every time we got a little ahead, we had a setback, a kid would go into the hospital for some infection and despite having relatively good health insurance given our jobs, we ended up with some bill for thousands of dollars. We moved in 2020 from the Bay Area to be close to family on the East Coast and that ofc cost us another $15k in moving across the country, which basically cleared out our savings. I have never felt so completely helpless despite doing “all the right things” working my ass off to pursue challenging careers, going to a top university in the world, working endless hours, being dedicated to my work, my clients and career up. And without sharing more, I pursued multiple career paths so I wasn’t just taking the easy road to be a cog in a machine, I was grinding and killing myself to use my unique talents or develop them to make something happen for us. Meanwhile, I learned about crypto in fall 2017, put $15k on a credit card in total into crypto by Dec 2017, watched it 6x and eventually crash back to $11k of total value in 2018, mostly BTC, ETH, and a few other majors at the time. All this to say, things started to turn around in late 2020, having seen every dollar that went into crypto between 2017-2020 round trip to nearly breakeven during the COVID market crash in April 2020, my lil portfolio was finally up. I never got comfy last cycle. Once I found a niche in content creation, I just never stopped—podcasts, YouTube, Twitter etc. And whatever value that added led to opportunity to invest more in the things I held dear in DeFi and crypto. 8 years later, I have a beautiful home, one I can easily afford as we never aped into something beyond our means having lived paycheck to paycheck until maybe 2021. I have no debt other than a super manageable mortgage. I have written about 75 angel checks, some doing well (despite plenty of 0s) but overall I’ve continued to reinvest all profits back into the crypto, nearly all onchain projects, and across all chains despite a concentration / home in Ethereum. My kids have no idea what we went through and prob don’t remember our tiny little apartment up until 5 years old. I feel like most of our friends have no idea how f*cking desperate I was yesrs ago. They have no idea how many nights I stayed up planning out… How can I play this money game better than others? How can I take risk investing into this misunderstood tech without rekting myself?”

Crypto can absolutely transform your life. Very few things can radically accelerate the growth of your wealth like crypto can. Take mine for example… 5 years ago in May 2020, we were renting a 3-bedroom apartment in the Bay Area with 2 kids under 2. BTC was sub-$10k and I 100% believed it would get to $100k in 5 years or less so I was focused on stacking what I could before then. At the time, our expenses were: + $3k/mo for rent + $4k/mo for childcare + $1.5k for food + $300/mo for student loans totaling $15k Plus, maybe $20k saved + $30k in a crypto portfolio at March covid crash lows. You can see a screenshot below of my March 2020 monthly cash flow report excluding some income/expenses from my wife’s job. Many months were like this where we barely broke even or were in the hole. In May 2020, CA State came calling for a mistake on our taxes in 2016 that would cost $10k in fees. Just demoralizing shit that would eviscerate our small savings for a future home. Anyways, we worked hard and lived paycheck to paycheck with no hope in sight of ever saving enough towards a home. But I kept finding ways to scrape together a few hundred or thousand to buy more BTC and ETH. Eventually, hope came in the form of DeFi. I earned a few airdrops, $10k here, $20k there, it was surreal to have any liquidity. At some point I crossed $100k for the first time in 2020 and began to believe I could do more with this money onchain navigating early DeFi during the mania. Back then, I didn’t sell much believing many tokens could go higher but I did take some profits into ETH sub-$1000 and BTC sub $10k before they would go on parabolic runs in 2021. About one year later in April 2021, we closed on a home. A wild series of events changed everything in one year. The key was I was making more than we did living paycheck to paycheck but we never stopped living like we did paycheck to paycheck. I was blessed with being so accustomed to having less money and living under a budget, that I scraped every bit of my new wealth into a growing portfolio of BTC and ETH, while saving each paycheck. We later borrowed against BTC for the down payment, probably was more dangerous in retrospect but my timing worked out, we bought a home, I paid off the loan to fund the down payment and went back to spending like we had $0. Eventually 2021 would come back to haunt me in the form of taxes due to yield farming and countless other taxable events but that’s another story for 2022. Point is we went from a little apartment to a beautiful single family home we love today. We have settled into it over 4 years by continually reviewing our spending habits, making sure we stay on track with budgets, and staying ahead of growing expenses so we can invest substantially more. I track it all meticulously out of habit from when we could afford nothing, but now it’s just bigger budgets with bigger goals for investing and saving. Anyways, as I was reviewing this data and how our budgets have drastically grown as our family has grown, I was reviewing what % of income we spend on the mortgage vs travel vs childcare vs food etc. It really is an incredible perspective to gain looking back 5 years ago. I realize I am living a life I dreamed of. It’s not living in a mansion, flying pjs, buying expensive cars. It’s having the ability to: + Own a beautiful home + Comfortably afford monthly expenses + Be generous with friends and family + Not worry about affording healthcare + Take meaningful family vacations + Have time/money to prioritize my health Don’t get me wrong, the lows have been brutal. 2022 felt like I could lose it all but I always had conviction long term that crypto (namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi and a few other ecos) would exponentially grow. All this to say, if you’re in crypto and you can survive 5+ years, and stay as long as possible exposed to the upside of this space, you can radically improve your life. Just takes a lotta patience and grit.

I’ve completely readjusted my expectations for $ETH this run to top out between $15k-$30k. I am buying and holding ETH believing we can run at minimum to $15k-$18k (20x from its low in 2022, 5-6x from here). This is the worst case atm. When you add in all the tailwinds of money pouring into ETH via ETFs and more ETH supply shock driven by fee burn + ETH treasury co’s racing to buy up ETH, ETH could easily run to $30k with investors comparing to BTC’s run in 2017. I think if we get to $20k ETH we are overshooting it by at least 50% cuz after all, we are a market of degenerate gamblers, oops I mean investors! That would end the cycle with ETH having finished a run with muted returns compared to last cycle but in line with crypto investor expectations holding the world’s 2nd largest cryptoasset, the market leader in DeFi, stablecoins, and RWAs.
If this is a repeat of 2020 then ETH is at $300 in 2020 numbers. If it end up being half of 2020's bull run, ETH is at $600 in 2020 numbers. Remember, ETH hit almost $5,000 by the end of that run.

Ethereum controls 56.8% of all cross-chain TVL, dwarfing Solana (5.38%) and BSC (5.26%). Yet ETH's FDV remains just 3-3.5x theirs. So how can we say some chains are "undervalued" while claiming ETH is "overvalued," when Ethereum commands so much more liquidity and activity?

TLDR, @coinbase did the opposite of SBF and FTX—they passed on the opportunity to further enrich themselves via regulatory moats, and instead launched a full on assault on the bad faith actors in the government trying to squash the crypto industry. I am forever grateful to Coinbase for this. I hope history rightfully lumps together @SBF_FTX and @GaryGensler who belong in the same bucket of evil power hungry narcissists who worked to undermine real crypto in America—KYC-less, permissionless, self-custody access to cryptoassets. GFY Gary. GFY Sam. We won.
I am not sure the crypto industry understands how much they owe to @coinbase. This is a firm that has been tirelessly fighting to stop the SEC's rogue behavior and to expose Operation Chokepoint 2.0 (first reported on by @nic_carter, among others), despite the fact that @coinbase is probably the second biggest beneficiary of OCP 2.0 (behind, hilariously, only @tether). Why do I say this? Given that the usual bank custodians were banned from the space, who is the big winner of the ETF custody game for the largest ETF launch in history (the BTC ETFs)? Oh, that's right, @CoinbaseInsto. Given that new stablecoin launches were largely crippled outside of New York, who became the default exchange distributing stablecoins and earning all the interest from @circle in the United States? Ah, yes, that's right, @coinbase. Given that smaller players could not get bank accounts, who retained access due to scale and political pressure and was able to keep running an actual exchange in the United States even as some competitors were debanked and others were kept out? Again, @coinbase. A "normal" company here would go to the government and immediately begin lobbying to deepen that moat and have regulators discriminate against smaller less "professional" outfits. To ban the small fries entirely, take over for themselves, and entrench their position while stifling innovation and the crypto space. You want to see how this works? Look at what Dodd-Frank did for the big banks. Instead, @brian_armstrong and @iampaulgrewal have lead a full frontal assault to expose the misdeeds of some of the regulatory agencies that are harming startups and thus potential competitors the most, and may help the bank custodians get into the game. It may help us find actual regulatory clarity and force the SEC to obey the law. There are folks at Coinbase like @faryarshirzad and team who have been fighting this battle (thanklessly, to most of the crypto space) in DC, in trench warfare amongst staffers and policy people to make sure what happened is known. So I just want to take a moment to remind everyone, especially those who complain about Coinbase as "too centralized" or "not crypto" (despite having perhaps done more for mainstream crypto adoption in the US than anyone else so far), that these guys went to bat for the industry overall and the long-term vision of the space instead of falling into the trap of their own short-term profits. This is rare. And it should be recognized. I'm raising it today because of the absolute treasury trove of information that just became public thanks to their efforts via FOIA against the FDIC. So, thanks.

I had written off Linea due to the momentum and lead other L2s have but this changes everything. As an ETH investor, I would now lean hard into Linea as the most aggressive alignment between any L2 and Ethereum / ETH holders. We needed this new standard set: + First L2 to burn ETH at the protocol level, where 20% of all net transaction fees (paid in ETH) will be burned + Bridged ETH will generate DeFi rewards, where ETH deposits will produce staking rewards to be distributed to LPs + A token distribution that demonstrates serious alignment to long term ETH holders, 85% Ecosystem (75% development fund + 10% early users) and the 15% to Consensys treasury with a 5-year lockup I’m not sure who I should be in touch with but I am in pains to do an @edge_pod on all this detail with @LineaBuild. If that’s @ethereumJoseph or whoever is best suited on the team, love to get in touch if the team DMs me or lmk who to contact! Either way, congrats on so much winning all at once. @ethereumJoseph has been on a remarkable streak lately, all the work and investment over many years building towards this moment with Linea, Ethereum, and ETH treasury companies like @sharplink. Ethereum 🫡
Today, we're setting a new standard for Ethereum Layer 2. Introducing native ETH yield, protocol-level ETH burn, and an Ethereum-native Consortium to manage the largest ecosystem fund in the space. This is how we build the Layer 2 where Ethereum wins.

Amazon was unprofitable its first 9 years. Meanwhile Ethereum not only has the largest onchain economy in DeFi on just L1, top 2 any given day in trade volume, #2 largest market cap in crypto, #1 in stablecoins, #1 in RWAs, and largest distribution scaling with L2s, but it needs to be maximally profitable according to network REV?

Bear markets can be devastating mentally. Some lost everything in UST, others have money locked in Celsius, some are down 90-99%, or even worse some have had to deal with all this while fighting for their lives in Ukraine. Be kind to each other. It matters. 1/

Why doesn’t the @solana Foundation provide a transparency report on… + How much SOL Solana Foundation holds and their wallet addresses + How much SOL has been sold + How treasury funds get used + How much SOL has been sold OTC to investors + vesting timelines + How much SOL has been sold / contributed to SOL DATs
Replying to @fabdarice
Also notable that they can’t say whether FORD has more staked SOL than SF because nobody knows how much SF owns. But this is bearish for ETH only 🤣

My brothers in Christ, The biggest crypto bull on MSM finance news is now an ETH bull, an ETH treasury stock is up 140% today, Robinhood is building an Eth L2 and tokenizing stocks onchain, BlackRock is piling billions into RWAs on Ethereum, the Secretary of Treasury says stablecoins are the future of the dollar, POTUS’s family is building a DeFi app on Ethereum, but meanwhile you’re debating the merits of Proof of Stake? Open your GD eyes 👀

“Trust me, I’m an investor.” Just buy $ETH
Ethereum is still not scaling; the narrative is false That is why Solana has 72x the usage (TPS) compared to ETH! Even when we include L2s (who keep most fees). SOL still has 7x the TPS than all L2s combined! Chase hype all you want, the reality that SOL is winning remains 🔥

It’s 2040. DeFi is everywhere worldwide. Transacting “on-chain” sounds as silly as “going online.” It’s all DeFi. ETH is $1M. Your kids/grandkids ask “Did you ever have a chance to get in early?” You: “Um well, it was such an uncertain time the summer of 2021.” Kids:

It has not been easy being long crypto these last 4 few years. It hasn’t been easy the last few months. But if you’re here, it’s now clear we’re going much higher. In 2017, a few friends and family bought BTC and ETH at near all time highs. They later sold at 50% lower in 2018, and definitely looked at me like I was nuts for ever recommending they buy. Most have never dipped their toes in again since then despite crypto prices going much higher. Many I know did gladly check in with me during bear markets to remind me how low prices had gone. Revel in my misery. What’s worse is many of them wrote off crypto in their minds and rarely asked questions over the years about it ever again. Today feels validating to see BTC at new highs, ETH on its way finally, and DeFi cementing its status in the mainstream lately with stablecoins. I really always wanted for more of my family and friends to enjoy the ride with us. I wanted to help them understand what I was buying into. But none of them took the risk to get here, or had the guts. Meanwhile many of you here did. You took the risk. You bought the blood. You held on. So cheers! We earned this. BTC is going higher, and ETH is going to new highs sooner than most realize.

ETH deserves to be a trillion-dollar asset Ethereum 🫡
If ETH becomes a digital store of value, it could reach 2T-20T like silver or gold. If ETH becomes oil, it could reach 4T like oil reserves held today. If ETH becomes money, it could reach 20T like USD M1 supply. If ETH becomes all these things at once, then who knows.

The man is telegraphing every move. He says over and over again publicly, interview after interview... "Ethereum is the future of finance, ETH is clearly mispriced, we're here to spread the word about ETH to the biggest investors on Wall Street, and we are going to raise billions to buy 5% of the ETH supply." They are only 55% of the way to reaching this target. They are not waiting to buy more ETH at $10,000. They are buying more ETH at all levels--NOW. Why are you making this so damn hard on yourselves? Buy $ETH 🚀

Kinda amazed how trendy it got in a few months to be bearish ETH. To give up on Ethereum and its L2s now would be foolish. Nothing has changed. The last 2 years of teams building on Ethereum/L2s is so backlogged and will become increasingly obvious again as teams launch. My experience tells me we must be close to liftoff.

The amount of $ETH bull posts from unlikely characters on my timeline has me thinking ETH could hit a new ATH way sooner than anyone expects—like this month. Add in single day ETH ETF inflows have eclipsed all net issuance of ETH over the last 30 days. Plus multiple ETH treasury co’s like @sharplink are not only buying billions in ETH but literally facilitating mega OTC buys from the largest ETH holders—meaning any major ETH sales never hit the market anymore. Get out of your damn own way—this market wants you to make money being long ETH.

Dear @RobinhoodApp, Listing $ETC among only 7 cryptocurrencies in 2021 is tragic. It is like selling organic dogfood in the organic foods section of a grocery store. At first glance, it may appear to meet the minimum criteria but it is in fact, not good for humans!

Investor who made this has advice on ETH value accrual.
ethereum folks paid lip service to alignment for years, but almost none of the major projects create meaningful value accrual for ETH. hyperliquid skipped the shibboleths, but every major project is directing a meaningful portion of its revenue to buying back HYPE.

After many years in crypto, I still have almost no desire to buy myself anything. I honestly have to force myself to buy a pair of jeans or shoes. For example, my winter coat is 9 years old, and my car is prob worth $1000 resale value. However, l do have young kids I find infinite joy indulging in experiences like vacations, concerts, and baseball games. It is a dangerous new phase of the crypto journey as a parent. I must be strong this year and restrain myself from aping into another Disney trip 😁

I have more confidence than ever in my ETH thesis finally playing out 📈 There’s too many catalysts, too many apps launched/launching, and too many big buyers of ETH for price to not go up. 🔜🚀
I know it's not popular to be bullish on ETH these days, but I still think that ETH is extremely undervalued. We've entered the 'Ethereum acceleration era' and I'm incredibly bullish on the future of the world computer and the worlds best decentralized programmable money.
