So at a 90% of price discount, if you are willing to hold eth long term, you can buy eth now, swap for Seth and still be in profit if eth drops to around $1300. This bear market seems to still be in the infant stages so we will probably see lower eth prices then that over the next couple months.

Best play is probably waiting for further arb or lower eth prices before buying in.

"Of course, protocols have also been audited extensively too — but am sure the defi exploit of audited protocol ptsd is as strong with you as it is with me."

ptsd indeed. https://cryptosec.info/defi-hacks/

Can you go over your life in music? Influences, favourites, what got you into playing, what made you stop? What gear did you use? Would you have stayed with it if you found musical kindred spirits or whatever?

the stETH is redeemable for 1 ETH plus staking rewards accrued though right? or am I thinking about this wrong, is it based off an index or nah?

Another future article idea, maybe something around how/when you determine to take profit in crypto?

I've only just started following you on Twitter and see that you are doing a great job of telling the truth about Coinbase's listing process. We need more people like you in the crypto industry who are honest.

I would like to tell you more dubious practices of Coinbase. When Coinbase customers make a mistake by sending unsupported crypto tokens (crypto tokens which are not listed on Coinbase) to their Coinbase account, Coinbase will not return these tokens. A mistake can happen quickly. For example, many customers send $WETH obtained from an NFT sale to Coinbase's $ETH address. Also, many customers use the wrong network, such as BEP20 instead of ERC-20.

I myself made the mistake of sending $35090 in $HUSD (ERC-20) via gate.io to Coinbase's $USDC (ERC-20) address. I simply hadn't looked closely, very stupid. What is curious is that Coinbase is the ONLY exchange without an unsupported crypto recovery service. All other exchanges like FTX, Huobi, Binance, Gate.io, Kucoin and more DO have unsupported crypto recovery services.

See my $HUSD transaction on etherscan: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x12a231dc8801724334895452f41dce8cb621d2db584c969bbe3c7fa6b9efa78d

Benzinga recently wrote an article about these dubious practices. In fact, one customer has more than $200,000 worth of $WETH tied up in their Coinbase account, and Coinbase is refusing to help. You can read the article here:

https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27481158/exclusive-coinbase-refuses-to-return-user-funds-claims-security-concerns

Information about the unsupported crypto recovery process of other major exchanges can be read here:

https://tikitorture.substack.com/p/ftx-extortion-vs-coinbase-support?r=1m6htw&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Since you have a large following via your Twitter account and I really appreciate your work, I would like to ask you to make these abuses at Coinbase public as well. This would help me and hundreds (or thousands) of customers immensely. Millions of dollars in unsupported crypto tokens are tied up with Coinbase and Coinbase is the ONLY exchange doing NOTHING about it.

I would love to hear from you as well as anyone who is a victim of these Coinbase practices. I thank you in advance and wish you all the best with your work in the crypto industry.

In the event of a forced liquidation for Celsius, do you think we would be offered to take on their stETH "debt" instead ? What I mean is, if I'm due 500$ from Celsius, they could offer me 500$ worth of stETH.. better for us to hold on to stETH than nothing. Just a thought.
