Ethereum Faces Psychological Hurdle at $3K: Analysts Highlight Significance

Ethereum faces challenges in sustaining prices above the $3,000 mark, signaling potential selling pressure and underscoring the psychological barrier at this level, according to insights from renowned cryptocurrency analyst Skew. In a recent post on X, Skew expressed reservations about Ethereum's short-term performance, pointing out the reluctance of buyers to maintain prices above the $3,000 threshold, indicating a pattern of selling pressure.

Skew highlighted the importance of $3,000 as a significant psychological barrier for Ethereum's future movements. The analyst stressed the interconnectedness of Ethereum's performance with that of Bitcoin, emphasizing the need to monitor Bitcoin's direction. Skew suggested that Ethereum's performance often correlates with the movements of the flagship cryptocurrency. In the event of a weak Bitcoin market, Skew warned of potential overall market heaviness, leading to unfavorable risk-reward ratios for Ethereum traders. Conversely, a strong Bitcoin market could present numerous opportunities for Ethereum investors.

Investors and traders are advised to remain vigilant and consider the influence of Bitcoin on Ethereum's trajectory. Skew's cautious outlook serves as a reminder of the intricate dynamics at play within the cryptocurrency market, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of both Ethereum-specific factors and broader market conditions.

Thailand Gift Guide: How Different Generations Approach Consumerism

From Lottery to Crypto, a New CMMU Study Explores Thai Consumers' Risk-Taking Behavior "Decoding Risk-Takers' Mindset: Marketing to Risk Lovers" presents rich data for marketers re-evaluating their strategies in a new consumer climate.

The Three Pillars of Thai Risk Taking

Thai consumers are classified into three risk-taking types according to the finding of this study:

1. Chance-based risks (lottery, lucky draws)

2. Investment risks (stocks, gold, funds, cryptocurrency)

3. Experience-based risks (mystery boxes, Chef's Table dining)

Lottery: a permanent national pastime

Thailand’s most popular form of risk taking is “lottery,” with an overwhelming 85.3% participation rate across genders, ages and incomes. Purchasing habits illustrate the generational divide:

-Gen X and Boomers tend to purchase 2-4 tickets each time they draw

-Gen Y and Gen Z generally remain on 1 ticket per draw

That difference reflects a shift toward risk-taking being defined by investment rather than chance, with younger generations seeking potential returns based on skill rather than luck.

Digital Assets: The Next Frontier

Cryptocurrency's adoption rate is 32.9%, and most investors choose to use personal savings and keep the transactions from 5,000 to 20,000 baht. Here’s the breakdown of the investment:

-Bitcoin dominates at 53%

-Ethereum follows at 25.3%

-Dogecoin at 4.5%

Gen Z members are especially intrigued by crypto investments and dream of getting rich quickly. Even though 88.8%point out high volatility, they go with a "high risk, high return" philosophy.

Mayhem and Mystery Boxes: A Youth Movement

Purchases of mystery boxes suggest distinct generational tastes:

-Gen Z leads 49%Participated, willing to invest up to 1,000 baht.

-Then comes Gen Y, willing to spend as much as 2,500 baht

Top mystery box categories:

-Snacks (26.8%)

-Cosmetics (25.3%)

-Clothing (23%)

Chef's Table: The Luxury Risk

With 28.4% participation, Chef’s Table dining is a small but meaningful risk domain. Generational Price Tolerance:

-Avg. expenditure: 2,000-4,000 baht

-Generation Y is ready to shell out 6,000 baht for luxury experiences

Cuisine preferences:

Japanese food dominates at 55.8% (Omakase especially)

At 24.2%: Western cuisine

The Lucky Draw Marketing Model

The research affirms that lucky draw promotions still work, with 75.3% of participants hoping for big prizes. Preferred rewards include:

-Cash prizes

-Gold

-Technology products

-Travel packages

-Concert tickets

Understanding of risk preferences at generation level enables marketers to position their strategies better, whether it is traditional lottery players or next generation of crypto enthusiast.

Bitcoin Inscriptions: Security Flaw Flagged as Cybersecurity Risk by NVD

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has raised concerns about a security flaw in Bitcoin's inscriptions, which was exploited in 2022 and 2023 by a protocol called Ordinals. This vulnerability allows data to be hidden as code in certain versions of Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. The NVD is a database managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which highlights cybersecurity risks for public awareness.

This vulnerability could have a significant impact on the Bitcoin network. It may lead to an influx of non-transactional data flooding the blockchain, causing network congestion, slower processing times, and increased fees. Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr raised the issue on X (formerly Twitter), comparing it to receiving junk mail that slows down the process of finding important messages.

Ordinals, a protocol introduced in late 2022, made data embedding more popular in Bitcoin. It allowed unique digital arts to be directly embedded into Bitcoin transactions, similar to nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum network. However, the volume of Ordinals transactions has led to network congestion and increased fees. If the vulnerability is patched, it could restrict Ordinals inscriptions on the network, potentially affecting the existence of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens. Existing inscriptions, however, would remain due to the immutability of the network.

Research develops a model of trust in Ethereum token ‘Ether’ payments (TRUSTEP)

My new research developed a model of trust in making payments with the Ethereum (Zarifis, 2023). I published the first peer reviewed research on trust in payments with Bitcoin in 2014 (Zarifis et al. 2014), and I wanted to apply my experience from that to understanding the consumer’s perspective to making Ethereum payments.

Ethereum is being utilised in various ways, including smart contracts and payments. Despite some similarities with Bitcoin, Ethereum is a different technology, with different governance and support.

Ethereum payments require digital wallets and the process is different to paying in traditional fiat currencies like the Euro. When a person wants to take an action without controlling all the parameters, and some risk is unavoidable, trust is necessary.

Figure 1. Model of trust in making Ethereum payments, TRUSTEP

The model demystifies how trust is built in consumer payments with Ethereum. The model starts with the individual’s predisposition and then covers the factors from the specific context of Ethereum payments. From the person’s individual characteristics, their willingness to innovate in finance and technology have a role. There are then five variables from the contexts: Adoption and reputation, stable value and low transaction fees, effective regulation, payment intermediaries and trust in the seller. The personal and contextual factors together influence trust in the Ethereum payment process and making a payment with Ether.

While the model has similarities to previous models of trust, such as the role of each individual’s psychological predisposition and the role of reputation, the role of institutions such as regulators and the importance of trust in the retailer, the distinct characteristics of Ethereum also play a role. In fact, the factors related to the distinct characteristics of Ethereum have the strongest support based on the average of the responses. This research can be added to a growing body of research in trust that illustrates how users’ beliefs in each cryptocurrency need to be explored separately.

Furthermore, the role of the organizations involved in the payment process are shown. While trust in the retailer is usually a factor in retail payments, the regulators and payment intermediaries are not always a significant factor, so it is a useful contribution to show that this is the case here.

That is what I want to share with you here. If you have experiences related to what I am talking about, please let me know, I would love to hear from you.

Ethereum scarcity narrative is “equally strong” to Bitcoin in practice, says 1confirmation’s Nick Tomaino, predicting ETH price to surpass $10,000. Ethereum’s (ETH) growth and deflationary supply make $10,000 achievable, says 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino, citing the network’s dominance in decentralized finance, stablecoins and developer community as key drivers of long-term value. We bull post ETH because we care about truth and want you to win despite what losers on X tell you. It’s going to $10K+ regardless.Facts:– The best crypto developers are still building in Ethereum just like they have been for the past 7+ years. L2s like Base and are where the…— Nick Tomaino (@NTmoney) December 31, 2024 Tomaino, who was also business developer and marketing lead at Coinbase between 2013 and 2016, argued in a recent X post that Ethereum’s scarcity narrative is “equally strong” to Bitcoin’s in practice, though it’s “not as simple on surface.” “BTC has a simple digital gold narrative that institutions are have bought into: 21M in 2140. ETH scarcity narrative is not as simple on surface but equally strong in practice.” Nick Tomaino Tomaino noted that the “best crypto developers are still building in Ethereum just like they have been for the past 7+ years,” pointing to layer-2 solutions like Coinbase’s Base, which are built atop Ethereum. He also emphasized Ethereum’s role as a sandbox for innovations, explaining that successful use cases often start on Ethereum before being copied by other chains. “Once a new use case works on Ethereum every chain copies it. See NFTs and stablecoins as two examples. Ethereum dominance in these two use cases is undeniable though.” Nick Tomaino Although spot Ethereum ETFs had a slow start, inflows picked up in late 2024 and could grow even more in 2025, Tomaino says, expecting ETFs to boost staking adoption while layer-2 and layer-3 apps will drive ETH’s use as money. As of press time, Ethereum (ETH) is priced at $3,329, down 32% from its all-time high of nearly $4,900 in November 2021. 2025-01-01 11:23:03 https://crypto.news/app/uploads/2024/12/crypto-news-Ethereum-dollars-option01.webp
