Breaking down ETH and BTC price action.Ethereum just broke $3,000 for the first time ever.Taking down a critical psychological barrier, the world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has seen positive gains for seven consecutive months.ETH is among one of many altcoins making moves as of late.Ethereum tops $3,000 for the first time ever as Bitcoin tests $60,000 again.The industry is bullish on Ethereum.Activity is increasing on the Ethereum network.Much of the rise in network activity is thanks to positive news surrounding Ethereum.The European Investment Bank is issuing digital bonds on Ethereum, there are Ethereum ETFs in Canada, and the ETH 2.0 transition to a proof-of-stake consensus model is becoming a reality.Just the other day, Coinbase even notified users that they can now stake ETH on their platform to earn a percentage yield on any holdings.Quick pause \u2014 what is staking?Staking is holding your coins on the network.Proof-of-stake means that coins held on the network validate transactions. The more coins an owner has (and sometimes the older the coins are), the more that owner is rewarded.This is in contrast to proof-of-work, which rewards miners with coins for validating transactions. Miners, like myself, do this by running software on custom-built hardware.Miners won\u2019t be around forever.I mine Ethereum. Our time is limited. It\u2019s inevitable that mining profitability around Ethereum will decrease in the coming months.The more staking is introduced across major platforms, the more Ethereum advances its overall roadmap around ETH 2.0.Bitcoin is eyeing $60,000 again.The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency by market cap could be poised to retest the all time high close to $64,000 if it can remain on track.Bitcoin is universal and open source, it\u2019s not tied to any centralized entity anywhere. It doesn\u2019t operate like the traditional markets. There are no after hours trading periods. It\u2019s always on.Bitcoin even sees moves\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
