End of the bull run? | Weekly Recap

Why this is the wrong question.

Dear Bankless Nation,

Crypto prices down lately…

And what if we see a death cross in June? ESG concerns? Elon’s tweets?

Is it the end of the bull run?

This is the wrong question. No judgement if you’re asking it. We’re all curious. It’s fun. But the answer is the always the same. No one knows.

And anyway…who cares?

No one can tell you the price of ETH in one month or in one year. We can guess! To me this feels like a weeks to months pause before a big run-up…but what do I know? 😉

Here’s what I do know for sure…fundamentals are strong.

And there’s still three ETH catalysts ahead:

  1. Summer - Layer 2 is here, it's awesome (watch this with Arbitrum)
  2. ETA July - EIP 1559 means fees go to ETH holders (here’s the models)
  3. ETA Q1 2022 - PoS Merge, issuance down, staking up (ETH goes Ultra Sound)

DeFi goes mainstream, Ethereum scales, ETH becomes ultra sound money…all in the next 9 months. All while the Fed keeps printing, banks keep sucking, and DeFi keeps growing.

Wall Street Journal reporting on DeFi…first time this week.

I find it impossible to be bearish with this backdrop.

I literally don’t care what the market does in the short run.

If ETH price goes down from here…the market is wrong.

But it’s been wrong before. 😉

Next week the journey continues…

  • We drop the long-awaited sequel to this epic episode w/ Vance (he’s still bullish)
  • What would it mean if Uniswap become Ethereum’s Oracle??
  • One of the Up Only guys teach us how to trade like a fundamentals investors

Seriously…re-listen to our Bull Case for DeFi episode with Vance Spencer before you listen to Monday’s ep. IT HOLDS UP.

Let’s get to the recap
