Why Old Shen Still Bullish on Ethereum in 2026!

First, I've lost quite a bit on Ethereum myself.

But Bitcoin makes it very difficult for ordinary people to achieve financial freedom without touching high-leverage futures contracts.

Ethereum operates under a micro-inflation model in normal times, but once a bull market arrives, it switches to a micro-deflation model, with the total supply essentially locked at 120 million.

After RWA forced lockups, if by 2028 the global market really has $2 trillion running on the Bitcoin network, it would require $300 billion worth of ETH to be staked and locked. Even if Ethereum's price reaches $10,000, just the staking balance alone would consume 30 million ETH, meaning roughly half of all ETH globally would be locked up. Setting aside all policy considerations, based purely on this timeline, Ethereum will definitely have a place in the next bull market. Among mainstream coins in the crypto space, if ordinary people still have a chance to change their destiny, it will most likely be with Ethereum.
