🚀ETHEREUM THREAD🚀

It’s no secret: I am a massive $ETH fan boy

But this love didn’t just come out of thin air

It’s a result of some extremely strong fundamentals in crypto that could take $ETH to the moon

Why am I so bullish?

THREAD BELOW👇
Let’s go back to where it began for me

My first intro into crypto was August 2017 when China banned ICOs

I did not know what an ICO was

Going into 3rd year of uni, I started researching crpyto further

The result? My dissertation on utility token application for gaming ICOs
During my dissertation, I found that despite knowing about Bitcoin first, I preferred Ethereum

I liked how almost every new project was being built on Ethereum’s blockchain, with smart contract functionality (more on that later)

I also preferred how Vitalik is the face of it
DeFi is a huge innovation in the crypto space and most applications are built on Ethereum

The uses include DEXs, Stablecoins, lending platforms, yield farming, liquidity mining and more

There is $83.77 BILLION locked in DeFi

Here’s a guide: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.coindesk.com/what-is-defi%3famp=1
The Ethereum network has had exponential growth in unique addresses and is now over 150 million

Daily transactions have also experienced exponential growth, and so have average transaction fees and value

EXPONENTIAL (in case I didn’t say it enough)
Those fees feed into miner revenue

The guys and girls that are securing the network and making everything run smoothly

Well, they brought in over $1.59bn in April whilst transactions topped over 40 million in a month for the first time
Okay, sure, apparently people are looking to build on $BSC $ADA $DOT $SOL and maybe others

But the fact is, there’s over 3000 dapps built on Ethereum and most of the established projects are built on Ethereum’s blockchain

Especially the DeFi applications I referred to earlier
NFTs are big right now

You may have heard of the digital artist Beeple who sold an NFT for $69 MILLION for the image below (I just saved it from Google for free)

Even the Four Lads In Jeans are selling their meme for £1 million at auction

$ETH helps facilitates these sales
It’s not just what Ethereum facilitates; there’s also big changes for Ethereum itself

EIP-1559 is a fee burn proposal aiming to change the fee model by making transaction fees more predictable, reducing confirmation delays and improving user experience

ETH 2.0 will shift Ethereum’s consensus algorithm from Proof of Work (what Bitcoin uses) to Proof of Stake

It aims to increase scalability and accessibility to the network

ETH currently supports 30 transactions per second; implementing shard chains can allow 100,000 per second
Big big big companies are using Ethereum for enterprise use cases

I’m talking about companies like Amazon, McDonald’s, BP, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and more

The technology is experiencing an increase in adoption from the institutions and corporations
This is the part I’m not keen on because I don’t like price predictions

If we look at Bitcoin, it has touched more than 3x it’s 2017 ATH

If $ETH does the same, it’ll touch at least $4,500 which I think is reasonable

But I’ve seen $40,000 predictions https://marketrealist.com/p/james-wang-ethereum-prediction/
Let me be clear: I’m not saying $ETH has the best price potential

What I do think is the fundamentals are amazing and it’s stood the test of time, and has room to gain on Bitcoin

In general, this is the money flow of crypto
