What changed?
5:01
Yeah.
5:02
So like, I'll give you a snapshot of what Ethereum was doing as a system in early 2020, early 2021, and then today.
5:11
And I think that really just kind of puts into perspective where we are.
5:14
Like transaction volume had like 33 billion in early 2020.
5:18
That went up... roughly that went up to like 700 billion in a year it was massive like the amount of transfers the amount of d5 activity at mostly like d5 farming Transaction fees ballooned as well.
5:34
The average transaction fee went from like not even a cent, like six cents to like seven bucks, even 50 bucks.

... we're going to 40.

7:25
It's gonna get ugly.'" 'Cause there's no catalyst.
7:28
And I think I, I very much agree with Jason.
7:29
There, there is a catalyst now because of debate.
7:31
Like, Bitcoin has always been a digital gold, right? Gold is up 33% in the year, also rallied this month.
