ETH

Kaspa hard-fork coming in 1.5 hours to make it the fastest proof-of-work in history (by a wide margin) and enable based roll-ups really not coming at a great time price-wise. ETH has shown the way that a HF is the way of the dump lol.

I think this will be another huge nothing burger. They won't buy shit and probably limit it to BTC, ETH and maybe the Centralized lobby shitcoins like SOL and XRP. Doubt ADA will play a role. Trump probably just read a couple of names from the top10 some random doofus told him.

Would you say the same about ETH?

# Which stablecoin to get that can't be confiscated or frozen? hi, I am a resident of European Union and I would like to ditch FIAT in order to avoid risk of the possibility of my FIAT being frozen or even confiscated. At the same time I'd like to long-term invest in BTC and hold it for years. Obviously, I could make a one time lump-sump investment into BTC, but since BTC is highly volatile, I would prefer to gradually invest in via DCA method instead. As a possible solution, I am considering to lump-sum FIAT into some very legit stablecoin and then gradually swapping stablecoin for BTC. However, there is a big potential problem - majority of stablecoins seem to be centralized and running on ETH smart contracts so they could be frozen or even confiscated any time. My questions are: 1. Which is the most legit stablecoin I can get and that possibly can't be confiscated or frozen? 2. Is it worth to bother with DCAing via stablecoins, or it's better to just one time lump-sum in BTC and accepting to live with its volatility? Since I'm EU resident, here are MiCa-approved stables, if this might be of interest: [https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E22AQFWXKqByoXMAA/feedshare-shrink\_800/B4EZYz6i66HkAs-/0/1744627708349?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=BnUQv3m\_\_hcJhQbWGJlUoiAHqdmqfLWfDXBglPITthg](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E22AQFWXKqByoXMAA/feedshare-shrink_800/B4EZYz6i66HkAs-/0/1744627708349?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=BnUQv3m__hcJhQbWGJlUoiAHqdmqfLWfDXBglPITthg) thanks

People dont care? Only ETH people does. I wonder why.

BTC doesn't get hit quite as hard in bear markets and it recovers well. ETH for example still hasn't gotten very close to its 2021 all-time high. SOL just barely established a new all-time high this cycle. BTC meanwhile bested its previous ATH (~$72,000) by a good margin (over $100,000 a few months ago).

Because of this BlackRock (the world's largest asset manager with over $10 trillion in assets under management), has made headlines again — this time with a big move into Ethereum (ETH). The firm just purchased 10,955 ETH worth approximately $20.1 million.1 day ago They have now over a billion dollars on Ethereum alone.

Just make sure you’re focused on learning, not chasing quick gains. Stick to BTC, ETH or other well known projects at first. Be cautious with Discord groups, many are full of hype or scams.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

>But BTC price has gone up by 38,000% so miners rewards are more than enough. ETH is up 152,000% since 2015. And it will go up a lot more. Like BTC, it is a great store-of-value but also offers staking yield as an elegant solution to secure the chain and its transactions. This gives Ethereum greater economic security than Bitcoin. Ethereum has certainty of security, and BTC does not.

andys811

I don't think ETH is a bad coin, it's at a great price for accumulation, I'm more just thinking if it's worth having a big allocation to it, ETH used to be my 2nd biggest holding, now it's like 6th, tho 2 are high risk short term low cap plays so I'd say it's basically 4th biggest holding. I don't see the point of accumulating over Sol and Sui personally (I understand they are riskier in a sense)

andys811

Yes, BTC is on a different playing field. ETH right now is fighting for its life to keep it's 2nd spot, the gap between 2nd and the other top coins are getting smaller and smaller. I don't see ETH going anywhere and it's a solid project but to think it's the only other legitimate project to BTC is delusional imo

andys811

XRP probably will overtake it (despite shite tokenomics) and I think Solana will close the gap for close 4th place behind ETH. I see ETH making ATH but I don't see it catching up to BTC (unless you mean bigger gains from the lows which I see happening) and I do still believe there's atleast 2 coins that are very legitimate competitors to ETH. I'm still holding on to some ETH but I have more SOL, XRP and SUI. I will admit I always somehow have more ETH than I remember (because of LPs and having ETH on multiple L2s for gas

igoldring

A L1 that has had multiple network outages in their short history can’t be THE institutional L1. Much more institutional use case with ETH and the L2s from major companies being built on ETH.

igoldring

Dystopian use case but at least it’s on ETH

I done 50% BTC and 50% ETH, so no, if i go 100% BTC it will be better - but who knows, who knows.

More ETH

SunDreamShineDay

That would surprise me a lot that Kevin Mitchnick, former Ripple employee and Head of Digital Investments for BlackRock has invested 92% of their non BTC holdings into ETH. 👀

Sorry_Term3414

They (if I remember correctly) made a $2.2 billion investment in service based cryptocurrencies, 92% in ETH and the rest I presume in other similar projects, like SOL, SUI etc

CMakster

Open a Coinbase account, buy solid stuff on Coinbase. BTC, ETH, LTC are pretty safe. BTC is the king. Most other coins don't seem to hold value over the years. Try to invest when everything is really low. When the greed/fear index indicates fear.

iEatSwampAss

Their customers own the ETH, it’s just managed by Blackrock. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison

Nobody read the article judging by the comments. It's mostly about ETH once again copying a Bitcoin feature that ETH users had previously ridiculed BTC for having.

texas-hedge

Staking is only applicable to blockchains that use the proof of stake consensus mechanism. ETH is a great example of this. It switched from proof of work to proof of stake in 2022. Now you can actually stake your Ethereum to the network and earn rewards. The bitcoin Blockchain uses proof of work consensus mechanism. It is not possible to stake your bitcoin because that is not how the bitcoin Blockchain works.

Ok, so both of your first points are entirely built on past performance being indicative of future returns which is a terrible investing strategy. >An item that is priced at $1,440 in 2018 would cost $1,833 in 2025. Over 7+ years, ETH has lost value when accounting for inflation. So what you do is scare the gullible with the Bitcoin is doomed to fail with its security budget narrative. Oh wow, you can cherry pick timelines to fit a narrative, well done! You should take a closer look at how short lived the 2017/18 run to $1,400 was. The reality is that peak opportunity occurs when people are declaring something as dead and a terrible investment. As a bitcoin maxi, you of all people should know this. Plus this opportunity is extra juicy considering Ethereum's real world adoption on the broad scale from institutions which it is seeing (don't believe me? Check out EthereumAdoption dot com). >What happens is mining costs converges to the price of electricity and/or competition wipes out inefficient miners who don't innovate, find cheaper energy and locations. Since 2015, the miner rewards have been cut by -87.5%. But BTC price has gone up by 38,000% so miners rewards are more than enough. Fees alone will be enough reward the miners when block subsidies end. You can also slowly increase the block size over long time frames if needed to increase the subsidies if needed. LOL. Once again all you can do is look to past performance for future projections. Worse yet, you strawman my argument and pretend to explain how mining works without even addressing the nature of my concern. The ratio of TVL to security budget shrinks every 4 years. What will happen is when the ratio gets large enough, the reward of 51% attacking the network will exceed the cost of it. And no, your pitiful transaction fees will not come to save you when your cult has decided that anything other than a luddite-esque policy of changing nothing and discouraging innovation leaves little utility for Bitcoin transactions.

Then you're looking in the wrong places. Retail favors speculative bullshit, hype, and gambling over seeking real-world use cases and adoption. There is so much good happening in this space, but unfortunately, money hasn't followed yet. On ETH alone, you have institutions tokenizing assets (stable coins, real estate, stocks etc.), permissionless trading (Uniswap, Whiterock, and more), the ability to borrow and lend money (AAVE), NFTs, GameFi (stil needs work), L2's with vibrant ecosystems... and much more. Saying it's not being used is so ridiculous. It's just shifty projects sucking up liquidity and mindshare.

ETH may show some pump action this week. Pectra mainnet upgrade on 7th.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

Bitcoin was effectively pre-mined. There’s no way Nakamoto could have mined 1 million BTC if there had been real competition - early hashrate was extremely low, reportedly under 6 MH/s for months. For comparison, even a single GTX 1070 Ti mined ETH at 34 MH/s, and a 3090 could do 120 MH/s. I mined ETH for four years and built rigs far more complex than today’s turnkey ASICs. In Bitcoin’s early days, blocks took hours or even days, not the steady 10 minutes we see now. With a 50 BTC block reward and virtually no competition, Nakamoto was likely the sole miner for up to a year. Today, hashrate is no longer a meaningful decentralization metric - many miners have access to powerful ASICs capable of 860 TH/s. Bitcoin’s network hashrate can swing 25% (750 EH/s to 1,000 EH/s) in just days, which is highly volatile. In contrast, Ethereum's 34 million ETH staked shows a more balanced distribution. Proof-of-work in Bitcoin isn't inherently special - it’s an energy sink that could be put to better use, like powering AI or scientific research. And long-term miner incentives are doomed: in just 19 years, rewards will fall to 1/32 of 3.125 BTC, then halve again every four years - 1/64, 1/128, 1/256. The direction is clear.

Lina-Inverse

If used correctly, futures allow you to have LESS risk than spot trading. The ability to go short is what makes futures extremely useful for reducing risk. Most ppl don't use futures for reducing risk but instead use them to leverage their spot bets, which is mostly a recipe for disaster, but that said, Low leverage Trading majors eg BTC, ETH, SOL (@ 1-3x) is far less risky than spot trading or hodling alt coins.

dollhousemassacre

I've quite literally given up on alts. Converted all ETH to BTC a while back, and will be doing the same with DOT. The tech might be great, but beyond an investment, it has no real value to me.

StatisticianFunny906

Web2 scales by throwing money at centralized infra. Ethereum scales by removing bottlenecks entirely. MegaETH is like giving Ethereum nitrous Web2 speed and Web3 trust. And anyone can spin up capacity by restaking ETH. That’s not just scaling. That’s uncapping the entire playing field. Web2’s ceiling is Visa. Ethereum’s floor is trustless, programmable consensus, and now it can go way higher.

Ah yes, the classic “Elon bought our coin” marketing play. Sprinkle in some AI buzzwords, multi-chain fluff, and a pinch of “philanthropy,” and boom—you’ve got Qwadrox (QWRX), the latest token supposedly blessed by Musk himself. Look, Elon publicly owning BTC, ETH, and DOGE? That’s confirmed. But QWRX? Unless he tweets “QWRX to the moon” I’m calling this what it is—clever PR wrapped in a feel-good narrative. Don’t get me wrong, if QWRX really delivers on the tech and mission, awesome. But until we get actual proof, this feels less like analysis and more like fan fiction with a whitepaper...

Most of those who spam “Just use Aave” are token bagholders. Why? A lot of times, what they say is completely nonsensical. Someone asks where to get good yield of stables. “Just us Aave” is a bad answer when there are plenty of good lending protocols, even on ETH, offering better rates, e.g. Fluid. Yes, they are “community members”, not really users. Users don’t give out these bad info.

Vibe TL;DR The crypto market's feeling a bit cautious today. Bitcoin's holding steady, Ethereum's facing some selling pressure, and meme coins are doing their usual unpredictable dance. --- Market Snapshot BTC: $96,399.20 (−0.14%) ETH: $1,828.00 (−0.82%) Top Movers: CHEEMS: +7.24% WIF: −7.46% TRUMP: −0.3% --- Top Headlines Digest Bitcoin's Open Interest Drops $2B: A significant decrease in Bitcoin's open interest suggests traders are becoming more cautious, possibly anticipating further price declines. Ethereum Whale Sells 1,500 ETH: An early Ethereum investor offloaded 1,500 ETH worth $1.76 million, adding to selling pressure on ETH. Brown University Invests in Bitcoin ETF: Brown University has gained exposure to Bitcoin through BlackRock's ETF, indicating growing institutional interest. --- Degens in the Wild (Shitcoin Watch) PEPE: Trading around $0.000008, with a slight uptick. Sentiment is mixed, with some traders hopeful for a rally. WIF (dogwifhat): Down 7.46% to $0.561, experiencing a pullback after recent gains. WEN: At $0.000036, down 3.69%, showing signs of cooling off after previous momentum. Viral Coin: CHEEMS is up 7.24%, gaining attention among meme coin enthusiasts. --- Overheard Online A Reddit user noted, "Day 95 of buying 0.1 ETH daily... Value of my ETH is -13.4%." Crypto Twitter is buzzing with discussions about AI-related tokens, with traders seeking the next big 10x opportunity. --- Gut Feeling Recap The market feels like it's in a holding pattern today. Bitcoin's stability is providing some reassurance, but Ethereum's recent sell-off and the mixed performance of meme coins are keeping traders on their toes. It's a day for cautious observation rather than bold moves. --- This is not financial advice!

Are you serious about the “AAVE community” part? They are the annoying group spamming “ Just use Aave” to answer every type of question, just like “Bitcoin fixes this.” You must be oblivious if you think they don’t exist. wtf do you mean I don’t know Uniswap? My question is rhetorical. The community using Uniswap is the ETH community. As soon as you move out of the ETH L1, its usage gets dropped. For example, on Arbitrum, ppl go for Camelot or Velodrome/Aerodrome on Optimistic Superchain.

Ethereum is that sports franchise that other teams are always talking down during the offseason for a lack of player signings and “sexy moves”. Yet shows up during the season and continuously reaches the semis/finals without having any of those other hype teams ever replace it. All of these other alt coin holders have been trying to topple ETH for cycles- it’s never happened. Could it? Sure But the people you’ll find in this sub shitting on ETH are the same ones that’ll disappear into the night when it starts catching up to BTC and holding steady its spot as the leading asset in crypto after BTC.

Not sure how that's relevant at all but it's an undeniable fact that ETH has tanked at a time when the SPY and BTC are up significantly year over year. You can look at other assets too, like gold. A good asset over time will trend up. ETH has not.

Old worn out argument. This will happen right about the time ETH flips Bitcoin, which is never. Bitcoin will be around for hundreds of years, if not forever. ETH will go the way of all the other shit coins.

tldr; Ethereum's Ether (ETH) is nearing a critical price level against Bitcoin (BTC) at 0.016 BTC, a zone that previously triggered a 450% rally in 2019. The ETH/BTC pair has been in a multi-year decline, down over 80% from its 2021 peak, amid skepticism over Ethereum's shift to proof-of-stake and competition. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed simplifying the network to enhance scalability and maintainability. Analysts are divided, with some seeing bullish potential while others criticize Ethereum's design and PoS transition. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I can see the TVL going down from 61% in feb 2024 to 51% now. Record low was april 2022 : 49%. If ETH go under, it will be a new all time low, and every body know that the probability of going lower rise after a new ATL. I hope it will go up, i still have some ETH, but i happy to have sold a lot. Other thing, i watch ETH/BTC, and SOL/ETH : Was a bad thing to hold ETH on those graphs.

Things change. The U.S. dollar has consistently lost value since 1913 - it’s a depreciating asset by design. In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) has risen over 152,000% since launch, even at a price of just $1,800 today. ETH benefits from powerful network effects and ongoing innovation. Its true value is continually underappreciated in dollar terms. When ETH reaches $10,000, it will still be undervalued - because when it hits $100,000, the charts will make it obvious in hindsight: $10k was a bargain. RemindMe! 2 years

No it wouldn't. ETH done this before. You seem to forget ETH's chart history. ETH had a legendary run in 2017, exploding from $8 to $1,353 by early 2018 - a nearly 170x gain. Then it crashed down to $80 late in 2018. It slowly recovered a bit - not much. Then came the COVID crash in 2020, pushing ETH down to $124. What followed was another massive rally, topping out around $4,890 in just 18 months - almost a 40x return. ETH has fantastic fundamentals. There is renewed focus to promote it as a store-of-value. And it is one. ETH is up over 152,000% since its launch, and that is after the painful 2025 price corrections. We'll revisit in a year or so. RemindMe! 1 year

I don't care about the why, cause the solution is the same. we need a better ETH leader. unbelievable that ETHBTC go down to 2016 level. at this rate, it will go down to 2017 level or below

don't panic, warren buffett just said that basically "if you hold assets well, short term volatility doesn't matter because it will increase in the long term", of course because i'm holding BTC and ETH :D https://i.redd.it/4nvfkouzwlye1.gif

ETH is now a long game. It'll only take 10-15 more years for the world to realize ETH's value, just like it did for Amazon.
