“Most cryptos can not outperform the market in USD phrases on an absolute foundation when Bitcoin is getting clubbed. Nonetheless, my confidence within the optimistic near-term value efficiency of Ether is due solely to the anticipated impression of the approaching Merge…
I believe the Merge will drive optimistic value motion for ETH no matter USD liquidity situations.
I nonetheless consider that the optimistic value impression of a extreme discount in ETH emissions and the optimistic reflexivity between the value/community exercise/community utilization would overcome any state of affairs through which USD Liquidity Situations are tightening – it’s simply that the value motion may be weaker than I forecasted or hoped for.”
