The activist short seller took positions against ETH and BitMine Immersion Technologies, arguing that since the December 3, 2025 Fusaka upgrade, Layer 1 fees dropped 90% instead of the expected 10-30%, slashing staking rewards by 40-50%. They blame much of the activity surge on spam attacks like dusting, not real demand, with validators exiting and developer interest shifting to Solana. Pushback came swiftly from Dmitry Buterin, who called the report 'bullshit,' while traders watch key levels like $2,200 support amid ETH's slide to around $2,125.

Culper Research just bet against Ethereum, claiming the recent Fusaka upgrade has pushed its economics into a potential death spiral of crashing fees and yields.

Alex, a Haitian-New Yorker, shared the encounter on February 22, questioning if the man's grandparents owned plantations and slaves—prompting quick corrections that slavery ended in Cuba in 1886.
