Do you know why? I did some recent research and changed my view on Ethereum
Ethereum has managed to deliver between 4% to 8% per year in staking
And its inflation with the update has dropped to 0.4% to 0.7%, the current inflation of ETHEREUM is lower than that of bitcoin currently at 0.84% [25/08, 06:21] Edlon Souza: ETHEREUM will be able to be lower or equal even in the next halving of BITCOIN
And on top of that delivering 4 to 8% profitability per year
How can this be?
ETHEREUM has become proof of stake
In the past, it was proof of work just like BITCOIN, a good part of the mining costs went entirely to electricity ๐ก [25/08, 06:25] Edlon Souza: As this change from proof of work
You know that cost you would have to incur to buy an ASIC to mine Ethereum or a less efficient video card, that's right, the best video card on the market was already inefficient for mining Bitcoin and Ethereum, miners buy ultra-expensive equipment costing up to 100 thousand reais each Not to mention the cost of electricity ๐ก
All this value is being delivered in Ethereum as profitability per year of 4% to 8%, Ethereum will become the darling of those billionaires who like assets that pay dividends will find this in it
Billionaires like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates who said they don't see value in BITCOIN because it doesnโt generate income with ETHEREUM, and on the contrary.
Do you know why Bitcoin crashed? Because on the Bitcoin network it's impossible to make a money transfer in a way that isn't traceable. They managed to trace Michael Saylor's wallet, but he couldn't move his funds. On the ZCASH token network, your transfers are untraceable; all movements remain invisible. Your public key is protected because it's not disclosed on the network. That's why governments don't like it; Europe doesn't like it because it makes transactions invisible.

๐ก๏ธ#bnb Chain on the Cutting Edge: Protection Against Quantum Threats is Now a Reality!
The rise of quantum computers is no longer a distant future concern; it's an engineering challenge of the present. While many networks are still debating theories, the BNB Chain has taken a crucial step forward and proven it's ready for tomorrow. The network successfully completed a proof of concept (PoC) test focused on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), simulating the replacement of vulnerable traditional algorithms (like ECDSA) with new defenses globally recommended by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). ๐ The Major Advantage: Zero Impact for the User The biggest ace up its sleeve from this successful test is compatibility. The BNB Chain managed to structure the update in a simulated environment so that no user will need to swap wallets or migrate their private keys. The network's abstraction layer absorbs the technical complexity, ensuring that your funds remain automatically protected against supercomputers, without any headaches on the front-end. ๐ Test Data: Security Comes at a Price Maximum security demands more processing power. The practical results of the test showed exactly what to expect from a quantum-resistant network: Transaction Size: Increased from an average of 110 bytes to 2.5 KB, due to more robust mathematical signatures. Network Speed: There was about a 40% reduction in throughput (transaction flow). Verdict: Even with larger transactions and slightly reduced speed, the network remained completely stable and operational. It's a fair price to pay to shield billions of dollars against future attacks. ๐ก Why Does This Matter? While the market watches Bitcoin struggle with slow governance to update its core code, the BNB Chain positions itself as an agile and resilient infrastructure. Having a tested and approved plan lifts the burden of the "quantum blackout" off the shoulders of investors and DEVs.
Race Against Time: The Quantum Ghost and Bitcoinโs Identity Crisis The crypto market is facing a technical tension moment thatโs starting to show up in the prices. While **Bitcoin (BTC)** is struggling to hold its dominance, a theoretical vulnerability is becoming a concern of "real engineering": the **quantum threat**. Recent reports from May 2026 indicate that the number of *qubits* needed to crack Bitcoin's encryption has drastically decreased due to new algorithms, shortening the network's security window.
YEAR 2026 CRYPTO WORLD EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON QUANTUM PROTECTION,
WHO'S RUSHING TO HEDGE ???????? what's the update schedule ???????? ETHEREUM already has **Willow** from Google (launched at the end of 2024). By 2026, Ethereum's development isn't about creating a physical chip, but rather **rebuilding the software** to prevent it from being "broken" by these chips. The summary of this progress as of May 2026 is split into four main fronts: ## 1. The Response to the "Willow" Chip (Google) Following the announcement of the Willow chip, which showcased a massive leap in quantum computing, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has elevated **quantum defense** to the highest priority. In January 2026, a team solely dedicated to **Post-Quantum Security (PQ)** was established, led by researchers like Justin Drake.
QUANTUM SOLUTION FOR ETHEREUM PECTRA GLAMSTERDAM HEGOTร
The issue with BITCOIN today is its slow conservatism in addressing the solutions that many other coins like ETHEREUM are already solving, known as the marajoara quantum chip developed by Google. Google itself warned that by 2029, there could be an updated version of this chip that might threaten BITCOIN. Quickly, ETHEREUM and its developers gathered to tackle this issue and started the updates. PECTRA brings: The EIP-7702 and Account Abstraction The big star of Pectra is Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7702, proposed by Vitalik Buterin. It allows regular accounts (EOAs, like the ones we use in MetaMask) to temporarily function as "smart contracts."
While many are fixated on short-term price action, the real revolution of Ethereum for the first half of 2026 is "under the hood." The Glamsterdam upgrade isn't just about low fees; it's about breaking down barriers for Artificial Intelligence.
Why does this matter now?
Real Scalability: For AI to run on-chain, we need parallel processing and zero latency. Glamsterdam focuses directly on that.
Cost Efficiency: AIs execute thousands of microtransactions. Without the infrastructure being laid out now, the cost would be prohibitive.
Retail in Charge: While institutions hesitate with risk management, retail traders have already realized that Ethereum is becoming the foundational layer for the machine economy.
The market might be in a "grimmest day" phase right now, but the infrastructure for the next decade is being solidified. Ethereum will evolve from just a smart contract network to the engine of decentralized Artificial Intelligence.
So, do you think the market is underestimating the impact of AIs on the ETH network? ๐ค๐
Exactly, yesterday, **Thursday, April 23, 2026**, the Fed (via the New York Fed) and the Treasury were operating to ensure the system didn't lock up. Here's what happened in detail: ### 1. Repo Operation (Committed) Yesterday (04/23), the Fed opened an **Overnight Repo** operation (repurchase). Although the accepted amount was low at the close, the fact that the window was open and ready to inject liquidity is what the market is monitoring. * The goal was to prevent short-term interest rates from spiking due to pressure in the bond market. ### 2. Fed's Balance Sheet Increased (H.4.1) The data released yesterday afternoon (H.4.1 report) showed that the total assets of the Fed rose to **US$ 6,707 trillion** (up from US$ 6,705 trillion the previous week). * This confirms that, on average, for the week that closed on Wednesday and was reported yesterday, the Fed **stopped pulling money and started injecting**. About **US$ 1,7 billion** was injected via bonds and repos just in this last weekly reading. ### 3. Bill Purchases Program (T-Bill Purchases) The official schedule from the New York Fed confirmed that yesterday they were in the middle of a **T-Bill** buying cycle (short-term securities). * The plan for this month (April to May) is to inject **US$ 25 billion** into "reserve management". This means that every few days, they come in buying billions to ensure banks have enough reserves. ### Why is this important for you? When I said they "injected yesterday", it's because the market feels the immediate impact of these open market operations. * **The Fed doesnโt make a radio announcement:** They simply enter the system and buy the bonds.
