In my opinion, it is never a smart time to buy ETH, but I know greedy and stupid people like to, so in September right before the merge I was warning .eths that it is a terrible time to be holding eth. They didn't listen, the merge succeeded but eth price crashed.
Then I warned them that staked Eth would be considered a security, as it is most clearly an investment contract. They didn't listen and said it was "maxi cope" and I was "cheering for regulation".
Now I am warning them again that holding eth prior to the unlock is completely moronic and they aren't listening again. It is very clear that eth whales are pumping OI to stabilize prices while selling spot. Their game got interrupted by Gensler's announcement but I see they are back on track today with OI climbing and price moving up aggressively despite a soft day in the market.
Traders and .eth bag holders are exit liquidity for the whales again. When will they learn?
Any kind of prophet is not listened to sooner or later.

When they wake up and find all exchanges have suspended ETH trading as the transaction bottleneck grows. Then Vitalik Buterin will begin trending on twitter as people tweet him to do something. Then the fake suicide articles. The mainstream cries for bans. Blame. Anger. Acceptance. Bitcoin.

I think as soon as eth doesn't outperform in a bull market the entire narrative will be dead. The overwhelming majority of people who hold eth care nothing about the eth ecosystem, they just think they got in early on the next bitcoin. Once eth languishes while Bitcoin rockets they will dump eth. I don't know how many times I have heard someone say stupid things like bitcoin can only 10x in the next bull run, while other coins will 100x or 1000x.
