ADVICE

Prefer Slow Compounding Over Meme Chasing

  • If you lack much capital, aim for steady compound plays rather than chasing meme-coin lottery tickets.
  • Allocate small, deliberate exposure to high-risk bets only if you can emotionally tolerate the volatility.
INSIGHT

Token Valuation Is Recursively Fragile

  • ETH valuation via traditional PE-like metrics creates circularity because fees are paid in ETH and the token price moves the income metric.
  • VanEck's absolute DCF approach is useful but highly sensitive to cash-flow assumptions and ETH price recursion.
INSIGHT

VanEck's Model Depends On Demand Assumptions

  • VanEck models ETH revenue from fees, MEV and L2 dynamics to produce wide price outcomes by 2030.
  • The model's output depends entirely on assumed network demand, so modify numerator assumptions to create your own price view.
