You still miss the point and it's not about which L1 or L2 is better. The money to be made from ETH over the last 12-18 months wasn't holding and staking for 5% and it won't be from the ETF, it was providing ETH liquidity to the new L2s and restaking protocols.

People who knew that (mostly ETH whales) have already cashed in this cycle. Any ETH price appreciation now is just a bonus for them. Meanwhile the rest of the ETH community are waiting patiently for their turn to pump whilst being completely oblivious to the ETH ecosystem having been milked dry already.

Just like Saylor is willing to ride Bitcoin to zero so am I.

Ethereum has more long term hodlers than Bitcoin now. And more wallets. And new wallets are being added. As I mentioned, there's a lot of ETH FUD going around. Perhaps it is Blackrock and others trying to suppress the price so they can get in on a lower floor. I don't think $4,000 was the high for Ethereum in this cycle. But we'll see how it all shakes out.

You seem to be optimistic about the dollar's future. The rest of the world is growing tired of allowing the USA to pass its debt on to everyone else. That party is going to end. And when it does you'll see the price of everything going up.

Ethereum blockchain adds 267,000 fresh wallets beating two year record

Ethereum has recorded a significant surge in new wallet creations, adding a staggering 267,000 new wallets to the platform. This recent influx marks the highest number of new wallets recorded in over two years, signifying a massive resurgence in interest in the Ethereum ecosystem by crypto users.

Ethereum’s record number of hodlers downgrades Bitcoin to second place

According to IntoTheBlock data, addresses that have held Ether for more than 12 months currently make up 72% of all Ethereum holders, reaching the highest level since 2018. At the moment, Ethereum counts approximately 73.9 million long-term holders, after a 44.2% increase, while Bitcoin’s holder figures stand at 33.6 million. 

Hodlers play an important role in the health and performance of digital assets. Coins backed by a large number of holders tend to be less susceptible to market volatility and are generally perceived as more resilient and trustworthy. So, the fact that Ethereum’s holder community is growing is certainly a positive development for the network.

In addition, Ethereum also outclasses Bitcoin in terms of whales, which refers to persons or entities that own a large amount of a single cryptocurrency, between 1000 and 10,000 coins. By the latest count, the number of Ethereum whale addresses has recently reached 5,370, marking a 12% yearly increase, while Bitcoin whale wallets amount to 1,920.

This proves that Bitcoin is not the only coin boasting record-breaking performances in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Ethereum outshines the original crypto in many ways, so even though there’s still a huge price discrepancy between the two, the top altcoin continues to attract an increasing number of investors.

So far they are crushing it, Aaron Judge, and stanton are hitting moonshots almost nightly now. Juan Soto is fun to watch and a beast of a player as well overall. The pitching is holding together. I’m a little worried there,,bullpen is solid. .cole soon to be back back. It should be a nice season and a great chance to get pretty far postseason and I hope the World Series .

Everyone can shower with my daughter if they want

You're assuming the USA will still be the bully able to push the agenda everywhere. I see the US as an entity that will collapse. You can see it crumbling from the inside out.

The USA is holding the rest of the world hostage with the dollar and there is nothing that anyone else can do to change that. Remember BRICKS, yeah no one does

Doing the forking / supply increase as you suggested would destroy the Bitcoin narrative. What does it offer besides being the first mover, the catchy name, and 21 million cap? That's the selling point.

Being Blackrock approved and not some maxi narrative is what will matter to people (money mangers) who have the real money. They'll eat whatever narrative Blackrock decideds to feed them

L2s is Ethereum's solution for scaling. Solana chose to do all the transactions on L1. How's that working out recently?

Bitcoin will also need L2s to be able to scale. And it has the mining / halving question.

Nothing is perfect. It is a tricky problem to solve: Maintain Decentralization & Scale.

You still miss the point and it's not about which L1 or L2 is better. The money to be made from ETH over the last 12-18 months wasn't holding and staking for 5% and it won't be from the ETF, it was providing ETH liquidity to the new L2s and restaking protocols.

Haven't done single leg presses in so many years I forgot about them but I've never experienced issues with the ribs. Interestingly enough, a quick search shows a several people had ribs pop during leg press. Did you go too low or too fast or at a weird angle?

The 30 rep seated calf raises are a bitch, as are all high rep sets for calves.

It happened to me about two or three months ago I can do them again I’ve been going heavy again, but I couldn’t do them for almost 2 months. I had five plates on each side and I thought a rack to weight and I did it took my feet off and then it crashed down on my ribs, but I caught it with my feet like last minute, but I was pinned my knees or into my chest or my knees were behind my rib I think thank God two guys that I know one guy train with pulled it off, but I was sore for weeks
