My personal opinion is that valuation models argue whether something will go up 10% or 20% if it works. But the real question is if it works. You absolutely need to discount it by the risk or it's a useless number. In fact the medium term price is best looked at as * . Price changes seem to happen as we update our mental estimate of .
If ETH is 30-300k, then the current price implies a 90-99% estimation of failure by the market. I think the risk is lower than this, therefore the expected value is higher.
In cryptoassets the risk could be anywhere from 0-100%. If it's ~100% then all valuation models are useless, because it's all going to zero when a black swan hits. So the number we need to obsess about is the risk and its end to reach. That reflects the zero to one journey we are on.
I see it as most important to monitor the biggest risks and metrics: hacks/bugs, regulation, and product market fit compared to competitors. Also the team and founders. I think Eth is doing well.
