Bankless Founder's ETH Decumulation Journey: The Monetary Thesis Fully Priced In, Bullish on the Network But No Longer Overweight in Asset
May 27: Bankless co-founder David Hoffman published a detailed post explaining why he liquidated his entire Ethereum spot holdings, emphasizing the decision was not made on impulse. Hoffman stated the big-picture narrative of "ETH as money" hasn’t collapsed—it’s just fully priced in and reached its inevitable end state. The Ethereum network is valued correctly for its current achievements, and the asset itself is unlikely to get a fresh reprice from the market, either up or down. He remains extremely bullish on the Ethereum network, believing its ecosystem will thrive massively—though only a tiny fraction of that success will keep showing up in ETH’s price.
Hoffman’s core logic is this: Ethereum is a "giver, not a taker." It provides the most secure block space, global asset tokenization services, and a massive DeFi infrastructure all at near-cost to L2s and the broader ecosystem, with no markups on any services—effectively making it the world’s most successful open-source nonprofit.

Analysis: BTC Short-Term Holder Cost Line Death Cross Formed, Chip Turnover Willingness Reduced Market Enthusiasm Plummeted
May 27th — Analyst Murphy noted that after nearly 20 days of sideways consolidation, Bitcoin’s Short-Term Holder Realized Price (STH-RP) and the TMMP indicator have effectively formed a "death cross," with the red line finally crossing below the green line. Historical patterns show that once this death cross forms, Bitcoin’s price often stays suppressed by the STH-RP red line for an extended stretch, making it tough to break through and potentially even hitting a new low. Right now, the STH-RP red line has flattened out almost entirely, signaling that short-term market activity has dropped to a near standstill. Chips on either side of this average cost level are hesitant to trade, which lines up with earlier assessments of a sharp decline in trading enthusiasm.
That said, this time is quite different from past cycles: the slope of this STH-RP cross is nearly zero. The steeper the slope, the greater the panic selling from higher-level holders, which makes breaking through resistance mo
