Looking at Coingecko at the moment:
1 BTC = $37.6K
32 ETH = $38.8K
I can't say much about the price parity. It's probably just a coincidence.
I never really gave a deeper thought behind the magic number (32) to become a validator in the Beacon chain. It appears it was by design rather than any correlation with BTC.
I agree it's more of a coincidence that 32 ether was similar to 1 bitcoin when this was decided, and based on beacon chain design rather than anything directly to do with Bitcoin. I however find it interesting that it was coincidence back then, and now this coincidence has returned with price changes.
I guess this is more relevant to the price of Ethereum being 1/32 of Bitcoin again, as opposed to much else, but makes me wonder whether more investors now would want to buy Ether rather Bitcoin now that BTC has already gone 2x from previous highs, whereas Ether hasn't reached it's highs quite yet, as well as he obvious incentive of running a node and getting a very good return (at least initially) from this investment.
I also think if I end up with an Ether node, it'll be sold within a year or end of bull market timing back into Bitcoin I imagine. The main reason for this would be that the returns for year 2 and 3 will be diminished considerably (maybe from around 20% to 10% then 5%), therefore hodling a node in a bear market doesn't make much sense. It'd be better to reacquire at a much cheaper price, or simply benefit from the high returns of the first year and move on.
