ETH

Nefarious-Technology

Yes and these are some paltry stats for transactions processed. 5 mill in a month. Eth’s biggest l2 base processes 12 -15 million a day. Even ETH L1 was processing over 3 million a day recently.

Could ETH B require a holding time requirements while ETH A doesn’t?

I'm DCA'ing on BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and lending USDC for now. More so on BTC and lending USDC.

shagaboopon

If you need to chart every coin then frankly you've invested in the wrong product. Crypto is extremely high risk and you should be prepared to lose everything you put in. If you need to monitor it to the extent you're saying then you've over invested imo. People should set prices to sell at and not get greedy although there's not been much chance of that this bullrun for most. I sold a fair bit of ETH above 4k but not at the ATH but I just decided to take my tax allowance for the year and leave the rest to either take out more if the price rose or leave it for the next cycle. If it goes to zero I don't care, if not then great. I hold DOT which is pretty much pointless to sell now. You win some you lose some.

uamdarasulka

interesting observation — ETH leading BTC is something the derivatives data hints at too. ETH longs have been holding steadier than BTC longs through this chop. Reddit sentiment shifting to "cautious DCA" while smart money stays positioned is exactly the kind of divergence the tool is designed to catch. that monthly resistance level on ETH is worth watching — if longs hold through it, that's a different story than if they start unwinding.

defeater33

The Reddit army talk has changed from "is this where I should start buying" to "DCA buying now with caution". Oddly ETH monthly candle chart shows this as the first predictable resistance area. While better than BTC which shows this as the second resistance area. Maybe ETH is driving BTC?

uamdarasulka

that ETH entry looks solid in hindsight. the tool is showing ETH longs holding firm from the top wallets too.. so your thesis and theirs are pointing the same direction right now. whether the short-term dip happens first is the open question.

No-Figure-8795

So what token would you recommend? BTC, ETH and?

Disastrous_Rent_6500

Just buy the big three and chill man. Just buy bitcoin for perstine capital, ETH the NYSE, and SOL as the Nasdaq of the crypto world

Disastrous_Rent_6500

Maybe in the beginning crypto could go to zero. But now that regulations and pension funds are in it, the blockchain has officially become the stock market 2.0 with ETH and SOL being the NYSE and Nasdaq of that new market

Post is by: uamdarasulka and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rb48mu/built_a_tool_that_tracks_whale_positions_across/ So I've been building this thing for a few months that tracks positions from top-performing whale wallets and tries to surface a consensus signal. Today it's showing something I thought was worth sharing. The crowd signal across all 28 tracked wallets is neutral, leaning short — 53% weighted to the short side but confidence is only 53%, so basically the crowd is sitting on the fence. But the wallets with the best historical track records are doing something completely different. Those ones are loaded up long. BTC, ETH, SOL — about $1.1B combined on the long side versus $113M short. That's nearly a 10:1 ratio. That kind of split doesn't happen often. Usually when the top performers take a strong directional bet, the crowd at least partially agrees. Right now they don't. The crowd is uncertain and the best performers are pressing long hard. The site is [swarmintellect.com](http://swarmintellect.com) if anyone wants to look. Live data, updates every 15 minutes. The signal panel is on the right side of the map — shows both the overall consensus and the breakdown by tier. Not financial advice obviously. Just thought the divergence was interesting enough to share. Anyone else tracking whale positioning right now? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Long term BTC is doing best. but ETH has high voltility making buying low selling high once a year or less more profitable. While still perpetualy moving higher slowly.

_-_Polaris_-_

I'm in on SOL. Know too little about RENDR other than the idea which probably has some potential. I'm not betting on it. SOL I do simply because it reached a certain threshold where I am pretty sure that coin is not going to vanish easily while still being volatile enough to make some good money. I take this over ETH all day. It has a future where ETH is plagued by absolutely insane fees for transactions and feels pretty dated by now.

AdWitty4949

I’m so tempted to buy some more ETH at this price. Might be a good investment because too much important stuff runs on Ethereum.

gorewndis

Honest take: if you're asking what new coins to buy in bulk for potential, you're already framing it wrong. The "new coins with potential" framing is exactly how people lose money in crypto. The boring answer is the right one — BTC and ETH have survived multiple cycles, regulatory crackdowns, and market crashes. Everything else is speculation with much worse odds. If you absolutely want alt exposure, at least look at projects that have been around for multiple cycles and still have active development and real usage. Anything launched in the last 6 months with promises of moon potential is statistically going to zero. The best time to buy was during maximum fear. The worst time is when everyone's asking what to buy.

PuzzleheadedFly1381

Appreciate your passion but I’m gonna bow out. This reply has too many false facts and social media misconceptions, not what Monad actually published. Example 1: “70% of MON is owned by the team and insiders.” Not true. Monad’s published tokenomics puts team at about 27% and investors at about 19.7%, with roughly 4% treasury. That is about 50% combined, not 70%. And those allocations are locked and vesting over multiple years. Repeating “70% insiders” is a Twitter narrative, not what the actual breakdown shows. Example 2: “Only 7.5% was public sale” is being framed like that’s the total community allocation. That ignores the 38.5% ecosystem allocation plus the 3.3% airdrop. Ecosystem supply is specifically for grants, incentives, validator programs, and broader distribution over time. Public sale percentage alone does not equal decentralization. Example 3: Saying “tokenomics make it impossible to crowdsource security” is not a fact. It’s a prediction stated as certainty. Decentralization is about validator distribution, stake dispersion over time, economic incentives, and governance structure, not just day one circulating supply. And there’s clear Hyperliquid bias in the comparison. Yes, Hyperliquid markets around “70% to the community,” but that number depends on how categories are grouped, and it still includes meaningful allocations to core contributors and the foundation. High community allocation does not automatically equal stronger security or immunity from centralization pressures. Supply distribution is one variable, not the entire security model. You can prefer Hyperliquid, ETH, or even XRp (hehe). That’s fine. But misrepresenting Monad’s numbers and reducing decentralization to one headline percentage is not objective analysis. Appreciate you. Hope it all goes up.

AlexandreSh1941

If you bought Bitcoin or ETH: Be patient. Patience on Bitcoin pays off. If you bought other altcoins: consider selling everything and move into BTC with what's left, or prepare yourself mentally for a 60% 70% correction from here. Use your losses to offset your gains next year. With the exception of ETH, don't buy altcoins anymore. Give that money to charity or use that money to enjoy your life, at least that way, you'll get some happiness at the end of the day

epic_trader

>When I said it was “Vitalik’s vision,” that was clearly a joke Ah yes clearly. Hilarious. >...the current L2 direction and outlining an Ethereum upgrade path that looks architecturally closer to what Monad has started building It really doesn't. >Reducing the discussion to “200 validators = centralized” ignores stake concentration realities on Ethereum. Validator count alone is not decentralization No it doesn't. DPoS is proven not to be very secure, especially when you have a low validator count. We've seen validators collude before on other DPoS networks. >Throughput also does not automatically mean weaker security, it depends on execution model, consensus design, and economic guarantees. Yes, you're correct. And from what I can tell, Monad's model is shit. A centralized DPoS network without slashing offers poor economic security. Ethereum has slashing and something like $70 billion ETH staked, so an attack would require the 17 largest staking pools all to collude, and then they would be able to attack the network once at the cost of almosy $50 billion. >You can respect Vitalik’s contributions and still objectively analyze competing EVM designs without turning it into personality defense. I'm just calling out your dumbass comment.

StatisticianApart452

I don't know much about crypto, but for me - ETH, SOL and LINK seem interesting. Also SUI, a little bit.

jekpopulous2

My point was that it doesn’t matter. Sonic, Sei, Monad, MegaETH, etc… can all handle parallel EVM execution. That’s great but they also all have the same problem. 70% of all MON is owned by the team and insiders… only 7.5% was public sale. How on earth do you decentralize the network when a small group controls almost 3/4 of the supply? Hyperliquid (in contrast) is pretty slow for a gen 3 chain but it’s been wildly successful because 70% of all HYPE goes to the community. It’s already more decentralized (and more difficult to attack) than MON or S will ever be even with fewer validators. Having the fastest chain doesn’t mean much when the tokenomics make it impossible to crowdsource security. I’m not saying no chain will ever surpass ETH… I’m saying no centralized chain will ever surpass ETH.

jekpopulous2

The most important part of ETH is stability and the fact that it would be so expensive to attack that there’s no point in trying. There are already crazy fast chains with parallel EVM execution…Sonic (for example) is almost 50x faster than Monad. The one thing that none of these chains can replicate is Ethereum’s security. I think a lot of these newer L1s are super interesting but the thing that makes ETH special isn’t EVM… it’s a $100B attack surface.

Montana-Safari7

All things considered, they are holding up pretty well. Only down 15% to ETH on the 30 day chart. Resilient bastards.

Zealousideal_Rain_79

I only bought SOL, ETH, and two other altcoins and made about 80% profit in December 2024. That was great, but not enough for me, since I had been buying these coins for four years. I was also hoping for a bigger altcoin season in Q4 2025, maybe even a 5x, but that never came. I’m still holding these coins for now and trying to decide whether to keep them or sell and go all in on BTC.

Cheap fees, companies are buying everyday. Activity rising on chain, SOL. ETFS will be bought up thus increasing token price. as for $RENDER, its the NVIDIA of Crypto. Decentralized GPU compute marketplace with burns happening everyday. It also has real usecases unlike other scam coins out there. AI will continue to grow as we approach 2030.

Tech, monad is Vitalik’s latest vision for ETH if you follow what he says (though imo it feels like he is actually signaling he does not want to build anymore and wants to sit on the sidelines, make commentary and be rich). Also I remember layer2’s were part of his old vision, hmmmm. Personally think EVM is the most important part of ETH and whoever masters EVM use is the real longterm “winner” in a pool of EVM chains that can co-exist and all be profitable. But what do I know I just own BTC, ETH, sol, Hyper, link, Trac, and Monad. Maybe I’m dumb... Though isn’t going through life dumb better than being smart and living among a bunch of dummies?

BTC, ETH, and 3/4 of the crypto-sphere can be influenced for far more money with similar or less vibes.

s1ngletrashboy

Can't even argue with you there, the ETH/BTC chart has been absolute torture to watch. You are 100% right to be skeptical after 4 years of "next week is altseason" false alarms. But the reason alts keep bleeding is that we've just been recycling the exact same dry liquidity back and forth. ETF approvals and rate pauses don't print new money. A sudden $150B refund hole forces the Fed to actually inject *fresh* capital into the system. But yeah, I completely agree with you. until the ETH/BTC ratio actually prints a higher high and shows real strength, it's all just macro theory.

Schrezberatina

Both have cults creating echo chambers that keep them alive. That's not necessarily a bad thing. If enough people believe something, they will it into existence. Doesn't matter how useless or useful something is. Take gold for example. An entire history of usage which ultimately comes down to humans looking at it and going wow this metal is yellow and shiny. It sounds silly but it should not be underestimated. Gold is one of the few metals that doesn't turn to shit like silver or copper or bronze. Now there's 20 million narratives that orbit it. Doesn't matter if they're right or wrong. It's people's conviction in them. Humanity's entire perception of value is from believing narratives. That's why fiat is used. That's why people reject fiat from countries they don't know. That's why first movers like BTC and ETH persist. At the end of the day you're only in this world for a small amount of time. So make the most of it by riding the wave of whatever narrative benefits you in the real world and improves your quality of life.

eToroTeam

Yes, that's where the tension feels real. When ETH leans into “money” narratives and BTC experiments more on-chain, the clean separation gets messy. Do you think they’re converging by design, or just reacting to each other?

bytewitco

Respect the DCA discipline at -38%, most people would've panic sold by now. TAO's an interesting conviction play — the AI narrative has legs but the token economics are still wild. Just make sure your cost basis math accounts for the subnet emissions dilution. For this market: I'm stacking ETH at these levels (sub $2k ETH with an ETF is historically cheap), and watching SOL for a bounce if it holds $80 support. Not touching anything without real revenue or usage metrics though. Re: bottoming in 4 months — Fear & Greed has been at 7-9 for a full week. Last time we saw a streak like this was Jan 2023.

Bitcoin is the only crypto that is consistent. The whole world follows it and makes sure that it keeps its integrity. Though a few ones like ETH, SOL and XRP are also okay. Beyond these ones, I will advise you to let go of some tokens you have. Many were crested to get people money then disappear. So, sell it and buy Bitcoin or any of those ones mentioned above.

The revenue generated is huge compared to any other classic coin CC is becoming the future network for banking as they have designed the regulatory environment needed HBAR is the new tech I would almost say blockchain 2.0 hash graph is really something promising and already getting tons of traction The 2 last one is for interoperability (with ETH and SOL ecosystem respectively) among different other chains, their price will go up once the value of SOL and ETH will bounce back and I am guessing there will be a leverage effect by X3 (if ETH raise 50 pct LINK may move by 150)

dhoni23

As I mentioned, you can't precisely time the peaks and troughs. But the pattern is so freaking predictable. Don't over-optimize. Let's pick ETH for example. Peaked close to 4200 3 times in 2024. So I already had in my mind that if I get to buy a ETH dip, very likely it will cross 4200 during next crazy rise. Now without being too greedy, once it crossed 4200 in Aug'25, I started looking at 4h candles. The idea was that if the bull run continues from this point, keep riding the wave. The moment 4h candles depict a clear trend reversal, you sell. No guesses, no more being greedy. I believe it went to 4800 with the bull run and then red candles and other technicals indicating reversal in trend, I sold it all around 4600 with confirmed reversal. Although it again went to 4900 (final peak for the cycle) in just 10 days - no regrets. No one could time these. Now how did I buy the dip for the sell mentioned above. I had loads of cash as I had sold all ETH at previous peak in Dec'24. After that consistent decline and it reached 2000. 2000 was a long term threshold from Aug'24 to Dec'24. So I went all in. But ETH then dropped to 1500 - you will see that's pretty much the old mean price line from 22 to 23. I was expecting reversal over time. Was in the Red but calm. Then you already know how I sold it. I focus on the psychological long-term and repeating thresholds together with the idea that ETH could easily lose 70% of its value with the next lowest. Again, I don't try to over-optimize. Cheers!

I got scammed for 2.1 ETH a few months ago, and 10 SOL on the side (multichain wallet). I had an extension installed for Deepseek, it got hacked, and they lifted the browser data and got into my Phantom wallet. I reported it to the police but they just closed the case and said they can't do anything. I reported it to the exchange it got sent to but it was one of those ones that swaps to Monero and it's gone. Sucks but it was only my gambling wallet, and I was shitting myself thinking my actual wallet with 150+ staked ETH had been lifted, but no it was only the hot wallet on the browser which was for shitty gambling anyway where I was prepared to lose. https://etherscan.io/address/0xf245c3ff0986c5bfe9dfb76f6fda084a911d1ebf

Think we’ll see another big drop soon? I was hoping to see ETH under 1.9k today, but it held pretty strong.

SurroundAccording535

I know is many days old, but in case someone else stumbles with the post. Keep it simple, start with BTC and ETH, set up on coinbase or kraken, and buy a small amount every week regardless of price. that's called DCA and it works way better than trying to time anything. one thing i wish someone told me early: have an exit plan before you buy. like "i'm out if it drops 20%" or "i'm taking profit at 2x." set a stop loss so you don't have to think about it. the buying part is easy, knowing when to get out is what actually saves you.

Honestly, the coffee beans will bring you joy immediately, and will provide a stimulant for you to leverage into work that will produce greater than $50 in returns. With $50 in ETH, it will be maybe $200 in 4 years if you're lucky.

Should I buy a 2lb bag of really good coffee beans or $50 of ETH?

TheSpotDesk

You’re already doing the most important part which is trying *not to* gamble. On “is it a good time to buy BTC?” nobody really knows in the short term. A simple beginner approach is to DCA a small amount on a schedule you can stick to (weekly/biweekly), and keep some cash back so you don’t feel forced to buy on a big green day. On BTC/ETH vs alts, I think most beginners do better starting with BTC/ETH first. Not because alts can’t outperform, but because they’re harder to understand and easier to overtrade. If you *do* explore beyond BTC/ETH early, stick to assets with a longer track record and strong liquidity, and keep the size small. You can always add more later once you’ve seen how you react to volatility (price swings). Since you’re already watching charts, a few things worth learning early: order types (market vs limit), fees/spread, and basic security (2FA, withdrawal whitelists). And once the amount becomes meaningful, learn self-custody basics so you’re not leaving everything on an exchange long-term.

TechTuna1200

Most of RWA and stablecoins is also on ETH. The two main drivers for ETH. What’s interesting is that the bitcoin dominance haven’t gone further up since August. Most people were expecting it crawl back to 64% again. And that is very due to ETH that it didn’t happen.

> Santiment reported that 50.18% of ETH's total supply is staked I genuinely don't understand how Santiment are still in business... the amount of stupid nonsense they put out should be enough that no one with any sense takes them seriously. How many times have they put out headlines claiming 'whales are accumulating' only for 3 seconds checking to reveal that the 'whales' in their data are actually smart contracts such as Wrapped ETH and the staking deposit contract? How many times have they tweeted about random alt-L1s having the most development, only for a quick read to reveal that their data actually just counts downloads from single repos, and is only comparing that count for 6 random projects? For this story today, it is genuinely insane that a company which claims to sell crypto analytics information doesn't know how to interpret the biggest smart contract in the whole crypto ecosystem!

TopAlert2383

We may have had higher BTC this cycle but the last cycle everything pumped to crazy amounts. SOL hit 258 and only hit 300 this cycle, AVAX was at 150 and struggled to hit 50 this cycle. Trust me when I say 2021 was way more exciting than 2024/2025. You could turn 1k into 10k in a month back then. What I'm saying is money is made from pushing it down as low as possible and then pumping it back up. Newer people hate seeing their bags drop that much in value, but its necessary for true wealth to be built. If BTC hits 30k and your coins will be down 90% or more. That's when you buy and hold. But if Saylor gets liquidated we see sub 10k BTC and altcoins close to 99% losses and then everyone will say crypto is dead. Thats when smart money will start buying. As time goes on less and less chains will recover and thats cause the market will pick winners and losers. We dont need 20k different chains. 10 at best is what's needed and ETH is taking a huge chunk of that with L2's and L3's. SOL, HBAR, ETH and BTC have their own ETF so my money is on them being the chosen few.

Fuzzy math is not uncommon in crypto, in fact, it is sort of an almost art form in itself. ETH's biggest problem right now is not on staking rewards, it's their slow losing of stablecoin settlement dominance to TRON.

tldr; A dispute has arisen over Ethereum (ETH) staking data accuracy. Santiment reported that 50.18% of ETH's total supply is staked, crossing a symbolic threshold. However, CoinShares disputes this, stating the figure is misleading as it includes only deposit records and ignores withdrawals. CoinShares estimates active staking at around 37 million ETH, or 30.8% of the supply, based on validator data. The disagreement highlights differing interpretations of staking metrics within the blockchain analytics community. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

My top three right now: CoinGecko: best all-in-one for tracking prices, market trends, and researching coins. Use it to monitor my watchlist. Phantom: my go-to wallet. Started using it for Solana but it supports ETH and Bitcoin now too. Clean UX, built-in swaps, and the mobile app is actually good which is rare for wallets. GeckoTerminal: essential if you do any DEX trading. Real-time pool-level charts, liquidity data, trade history across a ton of chains. I use it anytime I'm looking at a newer token that isn't on centralized exchanges yet. Free too. Honorable mention to TradingView if you're into TA for CEX tokens, but those three cover like 95% of what I need day to day.

Before even deciding between BTC, ETH, or alts, I think the more important question is: what’s your strategy? Are you trying to buy and hold something long term because you believe in its underlying ***utility***? Or are you looking to actively trade price movements? Those are very different approaches. Bitcoin is often viewed as a store-of-value type asset with a fixed supply design. Ethereum is more like infrastructure — it powers **smart contracts** and **decentralized applications**. A lot of “alts” fall into the category of **utility tokens**, meaning they serve a specific function within a network. Others are mostly speculative. If you’re not trying to gamble, it helps to understand what role each asset is supposed to play. Buying something without understanding its purpose usually turns into emotional decision-making when volatility hits. As for timing, whether you DCA or enter all at once matters less than whether you understand why you’re buying in the first place. Clarity on purpose tends to make the rest easier.

**200k is half Bitcoin's tx** count, very far from "nothing". Also note ~70% of ETH's tx are smart contract calls, DeFi swaps, L2 bridges, bots, not payments. Apples to oranges, ETH isn't cash. Compare LTC to cash-like coins, leaves them in the dust: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-ltc-doge-xmr-bch-zec.html#6m Litecoin is used a lot, it's a fact.

Most platforms seem to handle one or the other , bridge first, then swap, which means extra fees and more steps. Does anything on Ethereum let you do both in a single transaction? Just trying to keep it simple and save on gas. Thanks. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Using only PayPal narrows your options, but it doesn’t make it impossible. The main downside is cost, because PayPal transactions typically carry extra processing fees. Some traders buy BTC or ETH through platforms like Paybis when PayPal is the only available method, then transfer to their exchange account for trading. Just be aware that spreads can eat into small balances fast. If you’re new, it’s safer to experiment with small amounts before trying active trading.

Post is by: core3guy and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r8yzg7/i_guess_we_made_a_universal_risk_number_for_any/ We scored 50 crypto projects with 98 risk assessments to calculate a score for how a project is exposed to risk.  Disclaimer: we’re really in pilot stage, plan to scale to 1k projects in Q2 2026. And it’s not vibe coded. Note2: Undisclosed data is treated as absent. If a project can't show verifiable evidence of a risk practice, the methodology counts it as missing, trust the code and all that. **What the data showed:** * Anonymous teams disclose more risk management practices than doxxed teams. * Best risk managed projects are: ETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE * Pepe is measurably less risky than Dogecoin.  * Official Trump is slightly less risky than World Liberty Financial. * 86% projects from our set don’t have insurance.  * 73% of crypto projects listed lack real-time monitoring. (Some bought and didn’t set it up) * Newer projects had less risk exposure than older ones. * 100% compliant projects almost didn’t disclose security practices. How we quantified it: 1. Each project was evaluated across six risk domains: security, financial, operational, reputational, regulatory, and dependency 2. Each domain contains approximately 40 conditions that can contribute to or mitigate risk 3. When conditions are met (or not met), the project receives points in that domain 4. Domain scores are converted into a weighted composite — some domains carry more weight than others 5. The final output is reversed to get a single number: the Probability of Loss (smaller number - less risk) Generally speaking, most crypto projects are, well, risky, because they don’t disclose information, or just don’t do enough to mitigate risks.  I’m not sure if I can share links here, so it’s CORE3 (it's free). Drop a note if something looks wrong; we want to make it a standard for Web3, so I will really appreciate the feedback. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ERC5564 of ETH is not a privacy protocol, because its still trackable. It wont make transactions anonymous. Its just stealth, not equal to privacy.

No_Ebb_3017

200k transactions per day is nothing. ETH does 3 million per day.

Ourcrypto_news

Dubai’s trying to be a crypto hub. A full ETH ban would be shooting themselves in the foot.

Do you know how the crypto space operated between 2016-2018 or are you just saying things for upvotes? Anyone who was in the space back then can tell you it was the wild Wild West. KYC literally only existed for one exchange I could remember at the time and that was Gemini. Huobi, Tidex, Bleutrade, Binance, Poloniex, Livecoin, Kraken plus so many other small exchanges were everywhere. There was no Binance US. And BNB was between $10-$15 back then. Hell when I started ETH was about $600 USD. Half of those don’t even exist anymore. Back the Authy was the gold standard for verification. 8yrs later Authy isn’t even considered secure-it’s actually deprecated. Why did I do that? You didn’t have to provide any of that info for most exchanges back then. A simple google search could validate all of this info but you chose to provide an unhelpful reply instead.

Just wanted to point your attention to the fact that 70 to 95 percent of the ETH will be staked according to the article. 

Azatis-

lol ... they will be keeping 20% of peoples wealth now, really ? I think is time for everyone to start educating people to get their own ETH and stake it themselves.

kennyboy1949

Can someone help me with a simple ETH purchase problem? I’m an American who resides in Spain for awhile. I’m trying to purchase just one ETH using money in Schwab. My attempts are rejected. What might be the problem? ( American in Europe? Not an EU citizen?). Help if you can. Thanks

Including ETH

If you want to play it smart but still aim for upside, consider a balanced approach instead of “all-or-nothing” gambles: * Keep a portion in $RYO: real utility projects like LIFE Wallet, Global Mall, and Crypto ATMs tend to weather volatility better than hype tokens. * Diversify into a few established cryptos (BTC, ETH) for some upside potential. * Only a small portion for high-risk, high-reward plays — but don’t go overboard. The key is risk management: creative strategies are fun, but structured exposure helps you actually stay in the game.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

I don't think so. I'm a fan of ETH ETF's, but this one will only be staking a portion of total Ether to balance inflows and outflows. So sure, it could technically damper churn, but if a third of the assets are not being staked to account for inflows and outflows, it would take a pretty large upset to hit the choke points.

DangerHighVoltage111

What if you could have ETH and XMR in one coin?

Successful-Win-8035

Ignore this guy. BTC, and XRP are good. Sell Solana, and ETH.

inShambles3749

Fiat maxi? LOL Bro direkt even know the difference between first and cryptocurrencies. The only alts worth having are ETH and XMR. Certainly not fucking bch

CM19901

Buy more ETH, wait 4 years, be happy.

maddhy

BTC, digital gold. ETH, tokenisation.

Ok_Golf_6467

Still going to accumulate projects I'd rather take a shot at instead of wasting money a week on lottery tickets. BTC, ETH, SOL, couple memes, couple AI 🤷‍♂️ yolo

Flimsy_Bar_552

ETH actually did make a new ATH in 2025 (for like 10 minutes)

Downtown_Feedback665

I would never assume ETH or SOL will reach their ATHs again. Take it from someone who rode atom, dot, ada, aave, and many others all the way up, didn’t sell in time, and rode them all the way down, even buying more while crashing with the assumption they’d “at least reach their previous ATH” Now BTC, I fully assume as long as the dollar keeps inflating and demand stays the same that it will reach its previous ATH - which is as close to a guarantee in crypto as one could get.

SurroundAccording535

Honest answer from someone who tried exactly this, I turned $1,500 into $14K on DOGE, didn't sell, watched it disappear. Repeated it on ETH and BTC. ~$12K in missed profit across four trades. The picks mattered less than having no exit plan. If I had $5K right now: 50% BTC, 30% ETH (oversold, ETH/BTC ratio down 67%), 20% high-conviction alt. DCA in over 4-6 weeks, trailing stops at 15-20%, take profits at 2x. Have your exit plan before you enter that's the part that costs the most to skip.

SurroundAccording535

Smart move only risking what you're willing to lose, most people skip that part. One thing I'd add: set your exit plan now before the emotions kick in. I bought back into DOGE at $0.07, watched it run to $14K unrealized, never set a take-profit, and rode it back down. Did the same thing on ETH and BTC after that. The buying part is easy. Knowing when to take profit is what actually makes you money. DCA in, set trailing stops, and decide your targets before the green candles start messing with your head.

Volatility's low, but no big crash yet—crypto stocks even bouncing a bit as AI fears cool. Key insights from the space: * Retail investors showing "diamond hands"—Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong noted users are actively buying the BTC/ETH dip, with many holding or adding since December. * Whales accumulating: Bitcoin whale holdings up \~200K BTC in the past month (to over 3.1M BTC), signaling long-term confidence despite short-term weakness. * Broader takes: Some analysts eye potential bottoms forming, with ETH undervalued below $2K on on-chain metrics; longer-term bulls still talk $5K+ ETH or higher BTC if macro turns supportive. [markets.xyz](http://markets.xyz) dashboard tracks these whale flows and correlates them with news like retail resilience or accumulation signals—great for spotting patterns without guessing. Dip buy zone or more sideways grind to $60K/$1.8K? What's your read? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

6 months? Gamble. 5-10 years? BTC, ETH, Index Funds

I'm not saying that it's necessarily true that it's dead, but there are quite a few differences this bear market compared to last: - The rally was way smaller. Only 2x from the previous ATH, a price that we have now gone back down to, 5 years later. The weakness of this cycle will make a lot of people disillusioned about future performance. - We had no trigger to the bear market. No black swans, the most crypto-friendly US government imaginable, stock and metal markets reaching ATHs, and yet crypto is in the shitter. - The crypto market feels more centralized and fragile than ever. Just Microstrategy alone going bankrupt would IMO bring BTC to a four digit price. Bitmine going bankrupt would bring ETH to triple digits or worse. Any black swan at all on top of the already bearish market feels like it could be devastating.

Basically keep DCAing into BTC/ ETH, got it
