Ethereum

I know that everybody likes passive income

But if we start to feel entitled to staking rewards and say things like "ETH is meant to be staked", we've changed the purpose of staking from 'securing the chain' to 'providing passive income' to stakers

imo, this lowers the value of the entire Ethereum ecosystem

stake responsibly // be a kind human // slomad

The staking rate is what you get when there's nothing better to do with your money. It *should* go down if too many people are doing it, and need to be encouraged to invest elsewhere in the economy.

It secures the network, yes, but it is also the online economy's monetary policy.
