Ethereum Reserve: A Curious Affair!

by

Ah, yes – the Wall Street Journal, purveyor of pronouncements both weighty and, one suspects, slightly askew. They inform us, with a solemnity bordering on the theatrical, that a new entity has been conceived. They call it… Ether Machine. ⚙️ One shudders at the implications. Apparently, the objective is to amass – brace yourselves – over $1.5 billion in ETH. One can only imagine the extravagant spreadsheets involved.

The aforementioned Machine is being propped up, as it were, by the esteemed Kraken and Blockchain.com. These titans of the digital realm are prepared, the reports say, to contribute a mere $800 million in equity. “Mere,” I say! Such paltry sums for such ambitious endeavors. One wonders if they’ve consulted the astrologers. 🔮

And who shall steer this magnificent, potentially monstrous, contraption? Behold, Andrew Keys, who, with a flourish worthy of a decadent prince, has pledged a personal $645 million. A generous fellow! And at the helm, we have David Merin, designated CEO, and Jonathan Christodoro, his stalwart Vice President. One hopes they have a good supply of strong coffee. ☕

The whole affair, it seems, is modeled after the audacious exploits of Sharplink Gaming. These audacious individuals, you see, have somehow managed to build an Ethereum treasury so substantial, it’s surpassed even the holdings of the Ethereum Foundation itself! 🤯 One wonders if they’re playing chess while the rest of us are still trying to find the board. Such brazenness! Such…innovation? Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s simply the latest manifestation of the glorious, baffling absurdity that is cryptocurrency. 🤷‍♂️
