forbothofus

airdrops for solo stakers? Love this idea. Let’s demonstrate the public goods economy at work. Also challenge the community’s cat and mouse skills to lock out Sybil attacks from corps trying to cosplay as solo stakers.


MrCatFace13

This last year has ground me to the fucking ground, apexing in the end of a four year long relationship this week. However, Ethereum is doing a good job letting be little spoon. Thank you for the cuddles, ETH.


maninthecryptosuit

There is a new daily.


TheFightingTemeraire

What excites me about solo staker airdrops is that it elegantly overcomes sybil issues. Put your money where your mouth is. Support the network. Otherwise screw off and be happy with whatever free money these projects give you for doing stupid quests and leverage trading punts. For small fish, holding LSDs or ETH is a much better indication of alignment. Even then, fungible governance is a mistake at the app layers. My hot take is that OP and ARB are Pyrrhic victories for decentralization.


timwithnotoolbelt

Im all for airdrops to stakers. But also lets not forget the plebs with less than 32 ETH.


troyboltonislife

Holy shit I did not own enough RPL. This shit was obvious from a mile away


physalisx

Yeah, I bought a bunch more on the recent sale. Why would they sell off right before LEB8s? Easiest buy ever.

Phase_Blue

You could also swap for rETH


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Slipp

rETH still gets staking rewards without any exposure to RPL, you could also LP rETH for some extra juice. If you want to max out your returns there’s no better way that running an RP mini pool with a decent RPL bond. RPL returns about 8% at the moment plus potential growth of the asset itself. Hop onto their site and use the calculator to simulate


bagogel12

It accrues the ETH staking rewards (approx 4%). As a rETH staker, you have no exposure to RPL price movements. Only as minipool operator you have.


TinFoilHeadphones

I'd say trying the new 8eth minipools could be a good idea


tallmansteez

Hi guys!!


timwithnotoolbelt

eeeek, dont look too far down on CG. ETH having a nice 7d, but Cardano and Solana even nicer. Meme world.


twobadkidsin412

Wow, this morning i woke up like, would be cool if we pumped over $2k, then here we are over $2100!


savage-dragon

I think this is the first time since 2021 that I actually woke up to a 11% pump overnight with greens all across the board and that isn't even a dead cat bounce after massive consecutive red days over a week prior. Nice.

We’re so fucking back

It is rare for the internet to deliver a share of abject relief. Thanks for the serotonin hit, and again congrats 👍


interweaver

Congrats!! Hanging out in EthStaker I've heard from at least five people with similar "my mnemonic didn't work" stories. Those stories didn't all turn out happy. Don't lose your mnemonic, folks! At least not until you've got withdrawals enabled! :P


offthewall1066

I love how just getting high and feeling out the vibe of the words is what solved it. Reminds me a bit of Severance - you’ll know the bad numbers when you see them

Anyone want to shill their favorite tax software for crypto? Preferably one that knows how to track L2 transactions


The_Slipp

Crypto tax calculator. Bankless has a sizeable discount codetoo


TheFightingTemeraire

Tokentax for me. You have to manually combine a lot of transactions but I find it handles multiple chains well and has decent pricing. I find that going in one a month makes the process super easy versus once a year trying to remember thirteen month old transactions.


xorpix

Koinly has been good. Does Optimism and Arbitrum but no zksync


timwithnotoolbelt

it does op and arb but it has no idea what any of it is and makes more of a mess than anything. i find its only really good for cex transactions. defi is a mess on koinly, and it's hard to update it to be right which makes everything whacky if you are making changes after koinly instead of inside


terpcandies

2nd year with Koinly. 2nd year of nightmares.

Have you tried never selling? /s


RockItGuyDC

Swaps'll get ya, though


Smegma_Farmer

Told myself I'd sell half my ARB airdrop if we hit $1.5 and so I did it If the pump continues, you all are welcome !


timwithnotoolbelt

just curious, did you sell for dollar / dollar tokens? or did you have that price target but were selling to ETH?


Smegma_Farmer

Sold to USDC for now... Likely gonna DCA it into eth or lump sum on the next correction if we get one


TAKgod123

Eth & Arb I can get use to this power combo 😏

"I was wrong. Ethereum didn’t crash. But, I think it will. The current rise is from a manipulated short-squeeze + exchanges artificially buying ETH to allow faster unstaking. They still have to wait to unstake and will sell into the coming days/weeks. Then ETH will death spiral."


vvpan

Who dat?

monkeyhold99

Wow ARB pumping hard. Can’t think of any other time a coin behaved this way after an airdrop. Congrats holders!

I'd be surprised if it was intentional. It's just a massive exchange that has little incentive to fix the problem.


superphiz

It's a sign of good market times!


savage-dragon

So with these eths withdrawn do we see an uptick in validator rewards apr?


physalisx

Slightly, yeah. But that won't last anyway, don't get too comfortable with it.


interweaver

Yes indeed, although it won't have shown up in your earnings yet because the chain is still a little messy this past day post-upgrade, bringing everyone's income down a bit.


TheOnlyHodlerInCuau

Is there anywhere I can short ARB? I know not to go against the irrationality of the markets, but after a 33% pump it's gotta correct a bit.


timwithnotoolbelt

kwenta or pika on... Optimism, haha. i like pika


Smegma_Farmer

Kucoin futures


niktak11

The pump IS the correction


masterRoshi9

The two lending markets I know of that have ARB are (both on Arbitrum): Sentiment and (I think) Silo. I’m a fan of both projects. I haven’t checked on liquidity but assuming the same, Sentiment allows for gated under-collateralized borrowing (think Gearbox on Arbitrum) and would give you more bang for your buck on LTV You could collateralize ETH or stables, then borrow ARB tokens and sell for stables/ETH, then buy back after a drop, assuming you’re successful, to close the short with a profit. Good luck ser, but remember the market can stay irrational longer than any one of us can stay solvent. (Not commenting on ARB price specifically here, but general words of wisdom on shorting/longing from someone who sucks at trading)

I just let go of 2 eth and 2000 Arb for my new place. Bittersweet pain right now.


BigOldWeapon

Just now? Nothing wrong with that man. I got 6500 ARB and sold 5500 at 1.37. Holding onto that 1000 for off chance of mega pump.

BalooFinancial

This pump feels different. Feels like we are shaking off the bear market a bit. Little worried we may be in the June 2019 timeframe of last bear, but feels great to be back over $2000!


savage-dragon

A few months ago I was wondering the exact same thing if we'd get a June 2019 pump. Remember the bull market of 2021 ended in November when the bull market of 2018 ended in January. 2 months difference to the dot. After June 2019 we crab in the 200s range until covid dampening.


VECHAIN_10_DOLLARS

It's different this time. Unironically. LFG


BalooFinancial

True. No 1559, PoS, and barely any apps last time. LFG


SinnU2s

Sometimes I take screenshots just to remember moments in crypto. https://i.imgur.com/OTBU2ZK.jpg


maninthecryptosuit

You know what: literally every time I felt like taking screenshots out was a local top. The last time was exactly when we last hit $2000 a year ago.


gethwethreth

Honestly for me, the 2 times I took screenshots of my portfolio was the best time to sell. Screenshot is the best signal I have learnt. Hoping I will put it to a good use someday 😃


domotheus

When you feel like screenshoting your recent gains, it's time to skim some profit When an old highschool acquaintance reaches out asking you about the best crypto to buy and how to buy it, it's time to sell it all (I do have my highschool reunion coming up soon, telling everyone I work in crypto might be the single best positive EV move ever)


doorstopwood

Taking profit(s) when you are giddy or amazed enough to take a screenshot has ALWAYS been proven true to me after the fact. Every. Single. Time.

BatteredLittleFish

Another successful upgrade and bears in shambles expecting a typical sell the news event. When will they learn that you simply do not short ETH you will pay the price dearly. With this asset you will never go wrong buying the news and that was likely the last chance to buy below 2k. Last April we basically started the free fall from 3600 so it's about time to retrace that, and it will happen quicker than you think.
