Ethereum’s Explosive Arrival!
Hey guys, welcome back! Now, anyone who’s been following my channel for a while knows that I am a big fan of Ethereum. In fact, I’ve been highlighting Ethereum way back when the price was just $600. Now, full disclosure, Ethereum is still my largest position, so none of this is financial advice, and my analysis could very well be hindered by bias. Having said that, I do think that Ethereum is going to be one of the big winners in the next bull market. So, in this article, I’m going to share with you the five reasons why Ethereum is likely to explode in the next bull market.
1. Ethereum’s Demand: One of the key factors driving Ethereum’s potential for explosive growth is its demand. The number of unique addresses using Ethereum has been steadily increasing, with no signs of slowing down. Even during the crash of 2022, people continued to sign up for Ethereum, and the number of users now stands at over 200 million, approaching 250 million. This growing user base alone is enough to drive the price higher.
2. Supply and Inflation Rate: Another important factor to consider is Ethereum’s supply. Unlike traditional currencies like the US Dollar, Ethereum’s supply is actually contracting. With the transition to proof of stake, Ethereum’s inflation rate has become negative. This means that the supply is shrinking while the demand continues to grow. This combination of increasing demand and decreasing supply is excellent for Ethereum’s price potential.
3. Scalability and Cost: Historically, one of the biggest complaints about Ethereum has been its speed and cost. However, in the next bull market, this is expected to change. Ethereum has been actively working on scalability with its layer twos, which are designed to make the network faster and cheaper to use. With almost 10 billion dollars being used on Ethereum’s layer twos and a list of 24 different layer twos working on scaling Ethereum, the speed and cost issues are likely to be resolved.
4. Yield Generation: Ethereum also offers the opportunity to generate a yield. With the transition to proof of stake, Ethereum holders can stake their eth and earn rewards. This process takes Ethereum off the market, reducing the available supply for purchase. Currently, over 20 million ETH has been deposited and taken off the market, and the number of validators is approaching 800,000. This reduction in supply, coupled with the ability to earn a yield, is a massive benefit for Ethereum.
5. Mega Institutions’ Choice: Ethereum has been gaining traction among mega institutions. Fidelity, one of the largest asset managers in the US, has shown a strong interest in Ethereum, offering custody and trading services for both bitcoin and Ethereum. Other institutions, such as the National Bank of Australia, the Bank of China, and HSBC, have also embraced Ethereum. The trend is that these institutions either launch Bitcoin first and then Ethereum or launch them both together. This institutional adoption further solidifies Ethereum’s position as a top contender in the next bull market.
While Ethereum has a lot going for it, it’s important to consider the potential threats it faces. One of the biggest threats right now is the regulation of decentralized finance (DeFi). As regulators push for compliance and KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements in DeFi, Ethereum, being the biggest player in the space, could be impacted. This could result in a short-term hit to Ethereum’s price. It’s crucial to acknowledge the high-risk nature of investing in Ethereum, as it can experience significant volatility.
In conclusion, Ethereum has several factors working in its favor that make it a strong contender for explosive growth in the next bull market. Its growing user base, negative supply inflation, scalability improvements, yield generation, and institutional adoption all contribute to its potential. However, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and volatility associated with investing in Ethereum. As always, do your own research and make informed decisions.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hey Nathan,
Long time follower here, really appreciate your time and research on crypto. I'm 63 years old and seen alot of technology happen. Change is really at an exponential pace. AI and blockchain will change the world as much or more than anything in the past. I hope I can get my piece of the investment pie in the next few years. Cheers! π
Thanks Nathan. Have also been following you for about 2 years and learning a lot from your very clear and to the point videos. Would love to interview you for our new Canadian channel Blockchain North sometime.
I believe the analyses requires a distinction being drawn between jurisdictions . The sec has bogged down ethereum with its archaic attack on ethereum even though the previous sec chair labeled it a commodity . So for the time being in the USA Bitcoin and the pending etf requests seem to be the way to go .
Thanks!
Thanks!
This was a good summary for Ethereum π. Would be interesting if you did a similar video comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum and why you favor Ethereum. I own both.
ZERO SPAM…ahhhh…. I love it
Thanks! Hello, great content hereππ
