LIVE NOW - Why Analysts Are Valuing ETH All Wrong How should we value L1 tokens in crypto? Today’s guest, Jonah of Skycatcher, introduces RSOV—“Realized Store of Value”—a new metric designed to fundamentally rethink how we evaluate Layer 1 assets like ETH, SOL, and BTC. In this episode, we explore why traditional models like DCF and REV fall short for monetary assets, how RSOV works, and why it may be a better way to understand crypto’s total addressable market.
