Is Ethereum a good investment? Asides from Bitcoin, Ethereum is the next big thing about cryptocurrency. Infact by the end of 2022, Ethereum will transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network, which could reduce its energy consumption by over 99% from current levels. Under this setup, token holders, not miners, validate transactions by pledging their ETH for lockup in a staking pool. So not only can stakers benefit from capital appreciation of their tokens, but they also receive small "interest" payments in consideration for staking their ETH and validating transactions. The interest can then be "re-staked" back into the pool, leading to compounding returns.

The term "pathological liar" has a specific meaning. It's not just someone who lies a lot. It is someone whose compulsion to lie is so strong that they will even lie for no reason, when there's nothing to be gained. And this describes Trump and his administration to a T.

Is Ethereum a good investment? It proved to be a good investment for me but it's not for the faint of heart. I started buying when it was around $1200 and then, about six months into my initial purchase, the price tanked and my investment lost 90 percent of it's value I was undaunted. My purpose for investing was crystal clear. I would stay in until I had the money to pay cash for the house I wanted. The day that happened, I was out. Wasn't gonna get greedy and ride the bullet. Home price and out. That was the plan. So I kept buying as the price hovered around the eighty dollar mark. And then one day, it took off. I rode the curve till it hit $890 and sold my stake. A week later, I bought my house. Yeah, the price kept rising and eventually topped out at more than four thousand, and yeah, I could a made more if id ridden the rocket. Don't care. I accomplished my mission. I'm happy with that
