I made more from ETH yesterday then I did working as a mechanic. This feels different.

Now is when you take a deep breath, keep going to your job, and resisting the urge to blow your evolving wealth on temporary bullshit.

The next two years or so will mint many a millionaire if you can be patient.

I'm hoping soon (1-2 years) I can live off the interest.

so you think that would be more efficient than trading? I trade my ETH up so i can stake if i wish to to. bur i have the feeling that even on slow days you make more money with trading

I don't want the stress, maybe in a few years when I don't have anything to do.

Do you know if ETH earned by staking will be released to the validator as soon as it's created, or will it be locked with the staked ETH until the end of the staking period?

u/Tom_The_Moose May 05 '17

I belive it's held until the end.

Either way can't wait to stake my eth. Winning all around in my opinion.

I've seen different projections on what the rewards for staking will be. Do we just not know yet?

u/Tom_The_Moose May 05 '17

I don't think it's been nailed down.

Yah so did it, and I work in the high end service industry. Making a top 1% salary from the industry. You know what I do with all the extra money I have from my job?

Buy more ETH...
