@askgina.eth what are the immediate benefits and tradeoffs of "eth/acc", and how does this generalize to other sectors that should run more on Ethereum?

I saw a take that one reason $ETH price is suppressed is because it's the primary target for hedging via shorts:

1. $ETH has by far the most liquidity against stables, especially on defi/dex
2. If the crypto market crashes, $ETH is very likely going down with it

So whales can ape positions into whatever tokens ($BTC, $SOL, whatever) and hedge their positions by shorting $ETH.

If this turns out to be true, and it's responsible for holding down the price, what should we be doing differently? Is there something that "the devs" should do about this?

Kind of a curse of being the best at something while also correlated with a bunch of other assets.

Is there a dashboard for monitoring aggregate short interest against ETH?

If this happens ETH goes to 20k and beyond

🛑 A Trump memecoin? Lyn Alden isn’t buying it:

🌶️ Lyn Alden calls memecoins “the cynical end result” of crypto cycles:

🎰 “It’s a digital casino with no pretense of product or tech.”

All of finance, including skin in the game payments in backrooms, is now democratized. Anyone can do it, good or bad. You all now have Swiss bank accounts in your pocket.

Do with it what you will, but this is what we signed up for. This was the original idea of the cypherpunks and extropians. Free movement of capital, open information, permissionless innovation.

Ethereum enables this more than Bitcoin, but if you're failing the vibe check you should rethink why you're here.
