Vitalik Buterin wrote a "bullish" post about Ethereum 🐃

“I have been told that I need to "do less philosophizing and do more ethereum bullposting,”

Buterin wrote on X, accompanying the post with an AI-generated image of a bull with a sign saying “Ethereum is good.” 👍

He added that within 3 minutes of publishing, the post had garnered more reach than a technical article of 11,700 words on the Ethereum developers' blog.

👀 Since the start of trading for the first U.S. Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at the end of July, the price of ETH has dropped by about 27%, and the decrease in network transaction fees has accelerated the inflation of "Ether."

📉The dominance index of ETH in the crypto market has fallen to a four-year low of 15%, a level not seen since early 2021.

Could a "bullish" post help turn things around? 😂

In the Bitcoin network, there was a dramatic surge in transaction fees, rising from 0.5 BTC to 60 BTC per hour! 🙀

⛰ This spike was due to transactions involving sending BTC to staking on the new Babylon protocol.

The staking capacity was capped at 1,000 BTC, which led to a temporary frenzy. Each staking transaction cost users approximately 0.05 BTC. 💰

Once the staking limit was reached, both fees and transaction volume started to normalize.

📊 According to a CoinGecko survey, the majority of the crypto community gets their news from social media rather than news websites.

▪️From other Telegram channels -👍

🤭 Vitalik Buterin's Response from the HTX Exchange

"What is going to the Sun?"

Of course, we're not talking about the center of the solar system, but about Justin Sun's token — $SUN.

And with SUN, everything is simple, it's growing: up 26% in the last 24 hours and up 170% over the week. ETH hasn’t seen those kinds of gains lately 😂

Urinals for real traders. 📉

Now you’ve seen it all. 😂
