Crypto Industry News:

Following the proof-of-stake (PoS) transition of the Ethereum network, Ether (ETH) stacking now plays a central role in block validation and network security. However, some community members find the betting process too difficult, especially for the common people. Staking Etherum is too hard, community members say.

On the Ethereum subreddit, a community member raised the topic of ETH betting and its difficulties. According to the user, it took him an entire weekend for everything to work. A user said this might be something that people with "tight" schedules cannot accept.

In response to the thread, another community member also shared his ETH betting experience and mentioned the origins of Ethereum. The user noted that in those days, interacting with the blockchain was also difficult before more user-friendly options appeared. The community member also stressed that setting up the node requires "more effort than we might expect the average person to put into it."

In addition to configuration difficulties, the issue of bandwidth consumption was also raised. Due to the high bandwidth consumption, the user said there was a risk of ISP shutdown. Another user mentioned that the costs of exceeding your internet data cap could possibly kill any staking gains.

Technical Market Outlook:

The ETH/USD pair has bounced from the demand zone and is heading higher towards the nearest technical resistance located at $1,358 - $1,378. The momentum is strong and positive, so ETH bulls are getting ready to follow the recent BTC rally.
