Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

There's a dashboard on productivemoney.org, which actually shows this.

Right now, ETH has captured less than 1% of the combined monetary premium of gold and Bitcoin, because of course it's, you know,

$2,200 in order to get to $250K per ETH.

Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

That's a 110X upside.

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

So it's a long way to go to get all the way there.

You say, the market still treats ETH as a technology bet, but if the arguments in this essay are correct,

Bankless

if ETH is superior in money by the criteria of Menger on saleability and Buffett on productivity, then the logical endpoint is that ETH captures the monetary premium currently held by both gold and Bitcoin.

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

What has to happen for ETH to capture all of this?

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

Does it just like, is it the economy?

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

Does it just, you know, do the other assets have to fall away?

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

Like, and are we on that path right now?

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

Vivek, I think Mike is exactly right.

Bankless
Productive Money: The Most Bullish Case for Ethereum ($250K) | Michael McGuiness & Vivek Raman

And I want to leave the last question to you, which is if all we have to do in order to capture this monetary premium is to have ETH be widely understood by large capital pools, by many billions of people, my question to you is, all right, how do we do that?
