For me there are three "financial" reasons to hold ETH.

1. All ETH benefits from burned tx fees through EIP-1559.

2. Staked ETH earns validator rewards.

3. Staked ETH earns MEV.

No one's even begun to think about the implications of number 3. Validator rewards on steroids.

Ok but putting the pump aside, does this make sense @hasufl ? Couldn't this grow to be a really really big incentive to start buying and validating ETH, if MEV stuff was baked into the staking software?

Oops too late, tweet is already going viral. I guess that means it's true whether it's accurate or not.
