Will any of you actually stake your ether when phase 0 is released?

And how will you stake it? By setting up the node yourself, or using a third-party like rocketpool?

Running a node seems annoying so no. I'll sell when the hype gets high enough, but right now people are still majority bearish even if they don't know it.

yes

This.
Also keeping mind that in many European countries this is a question of taxation. Here in Germany crypto gains are tax free when you hold the coin for at least 1 year. When the coin generates interest however, you need to hold 10(!) years to cash out tax free. When you pay tax you get absolutely ass raped (already highest taxation worldwide) and this system applies to several European countries

Staking eth is pretty much funding communism and will get you thrown in Guantanamo if you're American

I bought several hundred when it was like $2-4 and was prepared to stake but they kept pushing back everything so much that I sold and left. I'd have a lot of money now if I didn't but they are never going to fucking release this shit. fuck makerdao bullshit too I don't trust a coin when it will just reverse a bunch of transactions because some rich fucks lost money

Yeah I'm planning on it

unironically that statement is true. Ethereum's future has been subverted by globalists to a large degree. Still bullish AF though. Think of it more like a corporate oligarchy system it will make you feel better then calling it communism.

I want to accumulate 32 ETH so I have the option, but I’m not sure if I will. If it reaches a great price I could just sell the lot for a nice profit and buy more property and start my own garden.

I'm going to dump all my ETH for LOKI and XMR
t. 300+ ETH

Here are some things you need to understand for eth staking (and why 32 eth is a meme)

The most important part: YOU NEED HARDWARE! staking eth is not like staking tezos or any other coin. There is no soft staking. You must run hardware to stake (which is why rocket pool is gonna be nice). This will immediately make staking unrealistic for a majority of people who hold eth. Nobody wants to do all that.

The second (and maybe bigger issue) YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW ETH UNTIL 2022. That is right, you have ZERO liquidity with staked eth until the smart contracts are launched in 2022 that allow you to withdraw. If you are okay with not being able to touch your eth for at least 2 years, staking is fine for you. Again, majority of people won't do that though.

Smart contracts are also the main way that most centralized exchanges (coinbase, binance) will allow staking, and they won't be operational until 2022.

32 eth is a meme, most of you that acquired it will not actually use it for staking. Furthermore, you can only stake in 32 eth increments since that is the minimum amount of eth for 1 validator.

tldr: you are better off stockpiling eth for the hype that will be generated from 2.0 launching so you can sell and attempt to rebuy the bottom once it dies down

>what is PoS?
The hope that those who bought in early can continue to extract fees in perpetuity without needing to extend any ongoing effort

Who does that remind you of?....always afraid of honest days work, eh?

Vether is a better option and you don’t need a ton of money to make money on staking. Current pool ROI is over 200%. Why stake ETH when you could burn it mining Vether (better effect for ETH overall) and get rewarded an appreciating asset that will always be tied to ETH and eventually be more valuable. Dyor. Burn ETH, pool VETH.

>This will immediately make staking unrealistic for a majority of people who hold eth. Nobody wants to do all that.
Which is exactly why it will be highly profitable for those that go through the trouble

I think that is to risky. I want my coins stored in a cold wallet so that they can't hack and steal from me.

depends
if you're cool with not touching your eth for 2 years (due to no liquidity like i mentioned) then yeah, you can reap early staking rewards
however if it gets pushed back...you're gonna have a bad time. Eth could hit a new ATH and fall back to current levels in the meantime and you would have missed the opportunity

>you have zero liquidity with staked eth until the smart contracts are launched in 2022 that allow you to withdraw.

I thought that you had to lockup your ETH for 4 months? Or are you saying that these smart contracts will allow you to tokenize your staked eth and sell THAT to any other person?

Anyway, about the staking thing. Obviously many people will stake their ETH. That ETH will be locked up for at least 4 months to 2 years if () is correct. That means huge supply will be taken off the market and I expect there will be some panic/fomo buying.

The sad thing is, if you've staked, you wont be able to monetize the paaamp cuz youll be locked up.

Still, It's probably worth it to stake cuz you'll have the ONLY eth2 coins and they'll probably also paaamp cuz ppl will want to own them without having to stake.

no, the eth you deposit into your staking contract is a 1 way deposit. you cannot take out any eth (initial deposit or rewards) until eth 2.0 smart contracts are launched (2022) which will then swap all eth 1.0 for eth 2.0 and allow you to take your rewards out.

I'll buy.

200 per ETH and we can do this right now no fees.

This is why VETH is the way forward for ETH. No hardware required, low barrier for entry. Miners compete to burn capital on chain instead of going through the process of acquiring hardware or needing tons of ETH to stake in order to make money. The dapp is simple and easy to use. VETH and ETH go together, surprising nobody has done it yet.

here's a screenshot from the consensys report showing the timeline of smart contracts being introduced
