IF BITCOIN IS DIGITAL GOLD, WHAT IS ETHEREUM? 🤔 |
The narrative for Bitcoin is pretty clear: Digital Gold. |
Simple, sound, and everyone's been saying it for years. |
|
When the Bitcoin ETFs went live, Larry Fink and the other Big Dogs of the TradFi world went on national television and sold Bitcoin as such: Digital Gold. |
This narrative is an important part of why Bitcoin has managed to grow into a trillion-dollar asset. |
But with the Ethereum ETFs live, many are wondering this big question👇 |
What's the Ethereum narrative? |
Ethereum struggles to have a clear one-liner. A simple elevator pitch for what it is. |
It's like that super talented friend who's a jack-of-all-trades, so they can't quite explain what they do when asked. "I work in tech… kinda." |
|
Ethereum, of course, is a smart contract blockchain that empowers many different use cases, rather than mainly just a store of value like Bitcoin's current case. |
Instead of one clear pitch, it has multiple. Many say this is a problem. |
Many say that without a clear narrative, it's a harder sell, holding Ethereum back from adoption. |
The Milk Man thinks differently here. |
We think Ethereum's multi-narrative vibe is a feature, not a bug. And we've got two reasons why.
But first, let's stroll down memory lane with Ethereum's various pitches over the years👇 |
Decentralized App Store: Think Apple's App Store, but for decentralized applications. Always-on Finance: Financial services 24/7. No "work day", no weekends off. Ethereum never sleeps, unlike TradFi's typical week day which runs from 9-5.(Bitwise already started marketing with this narrative in this video.) The Settlement Layer of the Internet: The internet was never built to settle financial transactions, we instead plugged the TradFi layer into the internet (which of course has its limitations). Now, Ethereum gives us an internet-native settlement layer. The World Computer: An oldie from Ethereum's early days. The Milk Man is not a big fan. Ultra Sound Money 🦇🔈: If Bitcoin is "sound money" with its 21M capped supply, then $ETH is ultra sound money with a deflationary supply. If Bitcoin is Digital Gold due to its limited supply, Ethereum is something better!
|
So many narratives, so little time ($ETH is just 10 years young).
But which ones will the tradFi big shots use to sell their ETFs? We'll just have to wait and see. |
But here's why the Milk Man thinks this narrative limbo is a feature, not a bug: |
Diverse Accomplishments: More narratives mean Ethereum does a heck of a lot. Try explaining the internet in one sentence. Can't? That's because it does so much. Same with Ethereum. Upside Potential: Investing before the world "gets it" can be golden. Think of the internet in the '90s. When everyone finally understands Ethereum, its value could skyrocket.
|
Ethereum isn't just one thing; it's a buffet of possibilities. |
That makes it exciting, even if it's a tougher sell. |
Next time someone asks what Ethereum is, just smile and say, "It's whatever you need it to be!" |
|
So, buckle up and enjoy the waves! 🌊 |
Wondering if these ETF waves will push $ETH to flip $BTC in the long run? |
We have you covered on the latest episode of The Milk Road Show where we explore the diverse narratives surrounding $ETH and discuss why Ethereum's complexity might just be its biggest strength. |

ETH VS. BTC ETFS: THE DAY 1 SHOWDOWN 🤼♂️ |
The Ethereum ETFs went live yesterday and we hit you with the projections from some of the biggest names in the space. |
But how did $ETH stack up against $BTC when we compare both of the ETF's first days on the job? |
|
There's a lot going on in this chart, so let the Milk Man break it down for you: |
Net Inflows: $ETH's net inflows of $107M are 16% of BTC $ETF's day one flows. To no surprise, $BTC had more milkshake bringing all the investors to the yard. 🥤 Trading Volume: $ETH ETFs managed 23% of the volume that $BTC ETFs did on their first day. 🌐 Greyscale Outflows: ETHE had $484M in outflows (almost 5x of GBTC on day 1). Many expected a faster exit from ETHE vs GBTC, but that's a pretty wild difference. 🔥
|
How about that for $ETH's first day on Wall Street, eh? |
The sheer numbers were considerably smaller than the $BTC ETFs but that's like comparing apples to kumquats! |
$ETH doesn't need the same dollar amount of inflows to have a large impact on price, its total market cap and supply are on different levels. |
Just to give you a picture: |
|
Yesterday's demand was 60% of the supply increase for the whole year… 🤯 |
Remember, investing in ETFs is like choosing your favorite dairy product. Some like it creamy, some like it light. |
Always do your research and find what suits your taste buds best. 🧀🍦 |
