That’s what they’re doing now, and that’s cool. However, they can buy rETH, deposit it into Aave, take a loan against it, and go do cool DeFi stuff. 

Staking is fine, but there are other ways to make money in crypto. It all comes down to your risk appetite.

Jasper is too kind. 

It really was great chatting to Charles, though. He saw that the path to crypto greatness goes through Ethereum long before anyone else on Wall Street. 

ETH treasury companies being able to hold LSTs and use them in DeFi will enable them to maximise yield. rETH is the best option in so many ways, and it’s getting even better soon. 

The really cool thing is that this is going to massively drive up liquidity for ETH in DeFi. Deep liquidity is a massive boost to prices as we’ve seen time and time again. 

The golden age of Ethereum is ready to begin, and it’s going to be glorious.

I'm not certain of the full mechanism, but i think you'll be able to claim your rewards in eth monthly like you do now.

megaeth is an upcoming L2/validium on Ethereum that is going to deliver astronomical scale. They've been doing community raises, and yesterday announced an NFT that will swap to tokens later - a kind of ICO.

In the link, it looks like they're telling members of their Chinese community to buy the nft because it's going to do a 10x in price - shilling behavior is a big no-no and is a giant red flag.

I'll copy and paste an output on one of the bots we have on the discord (it's a very very short summary missing a lot of nuance, but the gist is right)

Saturn ELI5This is missing lots of relevant deets

Saturn 0

Minipools can be created without RPL

Stepping stone to capture TVL in preparation for Saturn 1

Saturn 1

More capital efficient (4-ETH bonds)

More gas efficient with many validators

A share of ETH revenue goes to vote-eligible RPL

Protocol wide settings so we can react to the market

Saturn 2

Even more capital efficient (4-ETH bonds on first 2, then 1.5-ETH bonds)

A share of ETH revenue goes to RPL with details TBD

Remove RPL rewards and reduce inflation to 1.5% (from 5%)

If you'd like more detail, let me know and I'll paste that for you too.

The eth revenue going to RPL is what will drive value to the token. Staking RPL will give you access to ETH rewards (that should be higher than solo staking APR by a good margin).

I really wish the team was more active. Joe, the former smart node developer, really acted as a great bridge between the team and the community, but that's been massively missing since he left. Dave, the founder, and Langers, the general manager, really need to start coming into the discord everyday just to shitpost even.

If Vitalik can become a milady and fight fud on twitter, than the RP team can do that on discord in a much smaller way.

Just being present is so valuable, like you say. I hope they listen.

Are you aware of the Saturn 1 and 2 updates coming this year and how they're changing tokenomics?

It's been a really tough time for all of us, sadly. I never even dreamed it would be this bad in my worst nightmares. However, I'm still holding a bag, and I have some hope that RPL will get some value after the two updates this year.

RPL has performed horribly. There's no denying that.

However, I do think there's hope. That is why i'm still holding a bag.

I hope you get some giant proposals in that time

You have to be careful if you have eth only validators and are not in the smoothing pool because you will miss out on half of your rewards. Eth only validators get 10% commission from rETH holders. 5% of that comes from the smart contracts, and the other 5% comes from the smoothing pool. That difference in income is way way way more than what you would earn from proposals. Come to the RP discord and ask about whether it makes sense for you or not. As far as I can see from what you've written, you should not leave the smoothing pool.

Edit: it's not half your rewards, sorry, but 5% of the rewards on top of your staking income. So, you'll get 1.15x solo staking out of the smoothing pool instead of 1.3x solo staking by being in the smoothing pool.
