My 100 second elevator pitch on ETH to tradFi. Bitcoin is 1 asset - just bitcoin. Ethereum is all possible assets. Which is bigger? Gold...or all the assets in the world? Bitcoin was designed to secure one asset, just bitcoin. Ethereum is a general purpose platform designed to secure... show more

You should invite someone like @GunnisonCap onto your show to discuss tokenization and RWA’s on ETH etc
"ETH is extremely secure and decentralized like Bitcoin." Nowhere near. This is where you are mistaken. ETH cannot be a long-term, reliable store of value (SoV). Do not conflate the two. btc represents the safest, most predictable, longitudinal, and autonomous monetary system, property/asset/SoV. eth is a network of technology, similar to a company with a roadmap and a strategy, aiming to innovate and compete with other networks in blockchain technology development, which remains uncertain. One has no rulers, no charismatic leaders, no funded foundation, no governance tokens, no partnerships, no fancy offices, no VC backing, no legal team, no pre-mine, no roadmap. The other does. You cannot compare them; they are not even in the same realm. Could it have value in some way in the future? Sure, perhaps just like some of the 99% of competitors. If you still don't understand that explanation, consider watching a video of Jack Mallers explaining it.

"And because ETH is extremely secure and decentralized like Bitcoin..."
Bitcoin competes for monetary premium. That's not explicitly limited to gold. Money is 50% of every trade. It's also the monetary premium of all assets. Apples and oranges.
> Bitcoin competes for monetary premium. I've just never believed the category isolation argument that *only bitcoin* competes for monetary premium and none of the other crypto assets do. Eth is def in the game on monetary premium, as is Sol - and if you want to broaden your def of monetary premium to include "assets that store value" so does real estate and equities.
Nothing will exist on Ethereum. It will all exist on rollups, then ZKP’d into some L1. Do you think Ethereum will out compete Bitcoin as the best place to post ZKP’s?
> Do you think Ethereum will out compete Bitcoin as the best place to post ZKP’s? oh yes, def.
forgot the part where the founders pre-mined 60%, gave it to themselves, switched the consensus mechanism to one where they (the largest holders) extract even more coins for free, and still control the decision making of the future roadmap of the network like a centralized CEO
I don't think you understand how it works. Being able to tokenize on a network doesn't make the network worth all the things tokenizing. Bitcoin is becoming the apex store of value. Big difference in total addressable market. That's why Solana is a much better risk reward compared to ETH
![If you do anything today, please listen to this 3-min clip on what Co-CEO Joseph Chalom refers to as The ETH Opportunity... FYI, Joe is the former Head of Digital Assets Strategy at BlackRock, who drove the creation of IBIT, ETHA, and BUIDL. "The more assets and transactions that are secured on the Ethereum network, have been proven to increase the value of ETH..." "If you look at the last 5 years, for each $2 secured on the network, on Ethereum and the L2s, it's driven about $1 of market cap value of Ethereum [ETH]..." "And if you take a step back and say stablecoins are at this size today, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says it's gonna grow to a trillion over the next 3 years, if you look at the adoption of RWAs, which is in the first inning and can literally go j-curve, the value of tokenized assets which could be measured in the trillions or tens of trillions... they are gonna be secured by a decentralized network. We believe the vast majority is gonna be Ethereum. That is a bull case for ETH..." "If more assets are secured on the Ethereum network, the value of ETH will go up, and the value of it being a trust commodity, the highest value of money, is gonna be critically important if you believe we are at a paradigm shift, and that's what I call the ETH opportunity. It's not a trade, it's an ETH opportunity." "And for all of those who feel like they missed the early days of crypto, you are at still a very early entry point in the adoption of Ethereum and that is the long term ETH opportunity, not the ETH trade."

![Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: The Repricing of ETH as Money Could Start Pretty Soon "ETH is like BTC++ in that it's productive, it has yield -- which financial people love -- but also it's a store of value and used as collateral. It's basically used as money across the Ethereum economy." "It is an asymmetric bet that Ethereum will reprice from being valued like a technology company to becoming money. There is a potential 100x as that starts to happen." "It'd be wishful thinking to suggest an immediate 100x, but the repricing could start pretty soon. People now know what Bitcoin is. People obviously know what gold is. There is a need for a digital asset store of value or multiple of them. ETH is emerging more and more as that second pristine store of value asset, and we think it will become the primary one." "BlackRock just launched their staking ETF, so they're calling ETH a productive asset that's earning yield. Harvard just rotated some of their Bitcoin holdings into ETH. You're seeing the institutional allocations diversify, so it's starting now, and [Productive Money] is the thesis for it to really catch hold."

!["I used to be a bitcoiner. The transition to a new store of value only happens once every 3,000 years. That's the main prize -- just focus on that. But [security] is the criteria that ultimately convinced me to flip from Bitcoin to ETH." "I have a higher degree of certainty that Ethereum will be around longer [than Bitcoin]. The reason for that is because Bitcoin relies on proof-of-work, which is less efficient than proof-of-stake and doesn't scale with the value of the network. And as the block subsidy of Bitcoin halves every four years, it is increasingly becoming more and more reliant on transaction fees to fund the security budget paid to miners." "If you look at [Bitcoin's] security budget right now, about 0.6% of revenue to miners is transaction fees... The problem with that is if Bitcoin becomes 'digital gold', flips gold, and becomes a $30 trillion asset, but it only costs $10-20 billion to attack it, that's too asymmetric." "You want the security budget to scale with the market cap, similar to how countries spend a % of their GDP on defense. The more valuable something is, the more you need to spend to protect it." "Ethereum, with the Merge, migrated to proof-of-stake, which is fundamentally more secure because it's less reliant on transaction fees and it scales with the value of the network. If 1/3rd of ETH is staked and then you need 1/3rd of those ETH to censor the network, you're looking at roughly 10% of the total market cap as the cost to attack the network." "So if Ethereum flips Bitcoin and gold and becomes a $30 trillion asset, it'll cost ~$3 trillion to attack the Ethereum network versus Bitcoin at like $10 billion." "The other aspect here is that as AI hyperscalers invest more and more in AI, proof-of-work becomes increasingly vulnerable because the cost to attack the Bitcoin network is starting to look close to the quarterly CapEx these hyperscalers are spending on their data centers."

![BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto explains how he pitches ETH to Wall Street “The first thing we do is explain the Ethereum opportunity. Stablecoins, which are today about $310 billion, are going to trillions. Tokenized assets today are about $32 billion and going to trillions as well. Institutional DeFi adoption is happening like we’ve never seen before. We’ll get to agentic in a minute, but explaining to them — and they agree wholeheartedly — that the Ethereum ecosystem is going to be the future settlement layer for finance is the first step.” After explaining that Ethereum is going to be the global world ledger, Joseph Chalom, who is now the CEO of the $1.5 billion Ethereum treasury company Sharplink, talks about ETH the asset: “As the Ethereum ecosystem grows, you need more Ether to secure and settle these transactions. Therefore, Ether ends up becoming a trust commodity. We start with the principles and fundamentals . . . What we don’t do is make up numbers and talk about short-term price predictions for Ether.” The other thing Joseph does not do is compare Ether to Bitcoin. “The second narrative that people use typically is that [Ethereum] is ‘little brother’ to ‘big brother’ Bitcoin and that ETH is just some relative coefficient of the value of BTC and they need to trade together. What we’re trying to explain is that there is intrinsic value and Ether is going to be the trust commodity that is going to secure the future of finance . . . The number one thing to do is not make up numbers. And then number two, [Ethereum] is not a derivative of Bitcoin. It has intrinsic value to the future of the financial system.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2030372918627037220/amplify_video_thumb/2030026320994799616/img/qHpKVjaf7se_Bs95.jpg)
