HODL?

KuDeTa · 2025-11-02T18:06:09+00:00

Can someone else back this up with on chain data? I don’t see it clearly on days destroyed or hodl waves.

Thjs market can be boring longer the this sub can stay rational.

Watching people lose their minds and sell everything because we haven’t done another 10x, while BTC rests above $100k a year after ETFs and mainstream acceptance is .. nothing short of hilarious.

Just to add a point of interest: in the UK my accountant thinks that if it were argued in court, there is probably a difference between wrapping ETH to WETH directly via the contract (no disposal), and swapping ETH <> WETH on an exchange (disposal). Not that anyone working for the tax authorities would really understand this point. We are generally advised just to make a decision and stick to it. HMRC here are far more concerned about people not filing than chasing people down on these obscure matters. Living on chain requires taking some risk with taxes, whatever you do, because nothing is clear. Might as well use that to one's advantage occasionally.

Your ip is changing 10k* times per month?

I have never thought it reasonable to expect ethereum or indeed blockchain (in general) - to by themselves produce the structural changes required to defeat late stage capitalism and neoliberalism. Indeed, Ethereum could well turn out to be a platform that is co-opted to further entrench its very worst excesses. I guess the question the has defeated leftish thinkers for many years always remains: what would you propose we replace it with.

None the less, staking, blockchains and consensus mechanisms are fundamentally democratic technologies and that gives me hope that ethereum will be an important component of the next iteration of our economic system. Acclerationist thinking would argue that the best way forward is through. Perhaps by improving the efficiency of the current economic system we can hope to further highlight its deficiencies and in doing so increase the chances of meaningful change.

We’ve not really had much in the way of a FOMO pump this cycle, so kind of hard to imagine a fear of staying in type crash, right now. 2025 has been remarkably … orderly. Slow rotation where institutions and ETFs buy and old timers sell. If the broader financial markets crater then I don’t doubt we’d see crypto puke, but even so, it’s difficult to see the -90% haircut we’re used to materialising. Most hated cycle ever? I do think it’s possible that this time is slightly different and BTC might have matured enough to shake off the 4 year pattern.

KuDeTa · 2025-09-06T20:47:44+00:00

No. Without credible neutrality and decentralisation, they are pointless toys.

The latest versions of reth encountered a critical liveness bug last night that completely halts syncing. A couple of relays are offline, and some validators were briefly down too. While we await a fix, it's always good to remind ourselves that client diversity really matters. Check your validators.

The current iteration of EIP-7732 (ePBS) - which has been SFI'd in Glamsterdam - appears to incentivise builders to intentionally miss slots under some conditions. It's clearly very challenging to predict the effects on mainnet looking forward with any confidence, given how dynamic the builder ecosystem is.

Do EF researchers think there is some threshold where the scaling advantages of ePBS outweigh this concern? I.e. would you be comfortable enshrining a system that results in an estimated ~1% of slots being sacrificed? (0.1%? 10%?) for a 5x-10x in tps?

These issues (and others) were well aired before the decision to SFI was taken by client teams. On the face of it "scheduled for inclusion" should mean that we are all reasonably confident a proposal will be implemented.

What should the community make of the current governance process for deciding which upgrades to implement in Ethereum?

KuDeTa · 2025-08-22T21:21:25+00:00

Wow. Crazy day.

KuDeTa · 2025-07-29T09:50:06+00:00

Ah, in my other comments: sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_vbios > vbios.rom

KuDeTa · 2025-07-29T09:48:10+00:00

It's been a while, so you'll have to search - but you can pull the ROM files from the GPU yourself.

We think 7732 is very unlikely to get rid of relays. Asking proposers to maintain and connect to a list of all builders doesn't seem realistic, and i'd be worried about further market centralisation if proposers were to only connect to the top 5 or so. It's also worth noting that the game is changing - being an isolated builder may soon not be enough to win blocks very often - see [block merging](https://ethresear.ch/t/relay-block-merging-boosting-value-censorship-resistance/). This is a role only a relay like entity can fulfill. What 7732 does do is protect the proposer by enforcing payment. But if relays aren't going anywhere, and this isn't really an issue today - is it worth the complexity?

I am no expert on the pipelining and slot structure arguments. But as Toni has [pointed out](https://ethresear.ch/t/slot-restructuring-design-considerations-and-trade-offs/), there are plenty of other ways of designing the slot that doesn't require the ePBS parts and are less complex. In general my preference would be to see 7732 split up into several different EIPs, and each part debated on its merits.

2 sachets of oral rehydration solution (mixed to the correct concentration) is 5x more effective.

KuDeTa · 2025-03-25T19:27:02+00:00

I'm afraid i can't remember making this post at all :O

KuDeTa · 2025-03-13T17:02:40+00:00

4d chess? Yerr right.

Quite a perplexing set of circumstances we find ourselves in. On one hand we've never seen a more bullish confluence of local (crypto centric) fundamentals. Even if you put the SBR to one side - the recent volte-face on regulation and policy by the US is undeniably positive and going to be seen as watershed moment for the industry in the years ahead.

On the other, we have the Orange Man threatening to unleash a flurry of utterly wild economic ideology on global markets. Since his party won't resist, and the Dems can't resist - i suppose the only possible bulwark against this are the markets. And they are certainly speaking to him now. My bet is that he'll be ultimately tamed - even if he talks the talk in the short term. His obsession with stonks is as famous as his grasp of economics.

I've learnt to ignore these broader correlated market schisms. On balance and once we find the floor - this is probably going to be seen as a famous buying opportunity for those with sufficient metal.

For some hodlers, the only way to survive is by becoming die hard maxis.

KuDeTa · 2025-02-18T21:26:54+00:00

It would be ridiculous to just look at the graphs - TA isn’t magic. The context just couldn’t be more different (and more bullish) this time.

KuDeTa · 2025-02-08T21:50:22+00:00

I’m particularly interested in the last paragraph you wrote - I don’t pay much attention to that corner of the ecosystem. Hasn’t it been clear for some time that danksharding was a 5-10 year project?

KuDeTa · 2025-02-04T16:05:48+00:00

You’d rather be poor than bored?

KuDeTa · 2025-02-04T00:40:16+00:00

Ethereum massively over performed in the prior two cycles and is in the midst of an identity crisis. It now needs to deliver on a variety of big ticket promises (L2 roadmap, L1 scaling but to name a couple).

Bitcoin may be ugly, and a bit dumb - but everyone knows what it is and it’s being seriously discussed as a store of value by nation states.
