ETH

Elly0xCrypto

Yes, Sol is one of my favourites even more than ETH, because of the ecosystem and the easy for use tools that are not for hard core programers.

HelloTheirCruleWorld

Finally bought some ETH after 4 years away.

ZookeepergameDear795

Yes. I only use LCS for BTC & ETH.

This-Adhesiveness-52

BTC, LTC, SOL, ETH, LINK, SUI, XRP is a risk, the hype won't last.

EntitateDigitala

If you didn't have the courage to sell when the price was high and locked your money in ETH, be patient for 1-3 years, and until then, stake it to earn interest.

SuperSeven78

ETH's been stuck in the range, but long term fundamentals are still solid. If you’re holding, just chill patience is key.

Working-Network-1876

It's a dead coin, Gavin Wood is a sham, living off the ETH founder hype for years while failed to deliver anything.

OnlyKey5675

Shitcoins are a fools game. A lot of these coins pumped five years ago because you had a lot of people coming into crypto with the thought that they missed the BTC pump so they better get in on the next one. So people bought up polkadot, cardano, tezos etc..Remmeber vechain? FFS. I honestly wouldn't put a penny into anything but BTC or ETH.

cryptogodlight

ETH could barely hit an ath with historic etf and dat inflows. I see it doing well, but more of a slow burn. The the future of trading and capital markets is solana and its not even close.

defeater33

I think 55-60k but will ATH within two years or at least close. So any where around now will mean big gains. You should consider ETH as well if your active in trading instead of pure hodl

defeater33

True but ETH has consistency. Sol is not that low when viewed on the monthly candle chart. Increase risk but still low side with Sol.

oopssomething

ETH seems to have a nice discount indeed

ElderWarriorPriest

Google developers using ADA and compare that to SOL and ETH. Draw your conclusions.

Top-Care-8946

That's why I decided to start with BTC. Most secure. Multi adressing transaction makes it different from other coins/networks. I have also activated ETH account but I am still observing and evaluating if it's worth to buy also ETH. Meanwhile all crypto markets are currently in red, I think that BTC has the best chances to overcome from that low point.

SM-

Put a buy order in for $1800 ETH, but I might lower it lol

Polysorbate800

I’m only seeing what’s down with ETH

Cautious-Lecture-858

Anyone knows what’s up with ETH in particular?

MotleyMoney

The "100% win rate" is nonsense. Jin lost $250 million in a single liquidation on January 31, 2026, pushing his lifetime P&L to negative $128 million. (Our Crypto Talk) He built ~$900M in leveraged longs on ETH/BTC/SOL that blew up during the "Warsh Shock." The actual story: A wallet associated with Jin is moving large amounts to exchanges. That part appears to be on-chain verifiable. But 0xNobler is packaging it with a false premise ("Trump insider," "100% win rate") to maximize engagement and panic.

jenya_

> they can buy ETH at $1k soon If someone bought at $1500 last April, they could have sold at $4500 a few months ago, at 3X difference. ETH volatility is legendary.

These are all great coins but honestly my focus is $SOL, $RENDER, $ETH. In that order

No_Giraffe_4647

Well BTC is like a digital vault that does not produce anything but offers a great bridge to swap into other assets and this is why it is now fully integrated on other crypto pairs including tons of shitcoins. People used BTC as main staorage and wanted to diversify on something else following the hype and not understanding what they actually bought. The ETH is maybe the only one that could catch up one day with mass adoption on DEFI as its ecosystem is huge and revenue stream is way above BTC. However BTC will remain the most popular coin ever despite having a closed protocol so no further development upgrades could be ever made.

Despite this intraday stabilization, sentiment remains pinned in Extreme Fear, with the Fear & Greed Index currently sitting at a 9. Institutional outflows and high-beta liquidations continue to drive a cautious narrative as investors pivot toward higher-quality assets. ​SOLANA (SOL) SECTOR ANALYSIS Solana is currently trading in the $87.00 - $90.00 range, showing a 24-hour gain of approximately 2.75%. This follows a broader 45% correction from its January peak. ​Technical Positioning: SOL has faced intense selling pressure due to unwinding leverage in derivatives markets. Support is holding at the $85.00 level, while resistance remains firm near $95.00. ​Institutional Sentiment: Standard Chartered recently revised its 2026 price target for SOL to $250, emphasizing a shift from speculative memecoin activity to a micropayments powerhouse. ​Network Developments: Market attention is shifting toward the upcoming Firedancer and Alpenglow upgrades, which are expected to redefine network throughput and institutional utility throughout the remainder of 2026. ​MACRO INDICATORS ​Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at $70,321. Reclaiming the $70K level is considered critical for a broader sentiment reset. ​Ethereum (ETH): Hovering at $2,064. Spot ETH ETF outflows (estimated at $242M) continue to weigh on price action. ​Liquidity Trends: Capital is increasingly rotating into projects with documented technical density and long-term utility, as retail "pump and dump" cycles show classic capitulation signals. ​STRATEGIC OUTLOOK The current market cycle favors the "Working CEO" model of development. Infrastructure building during periods of extreme fear historically precedes institutional accumulation. The 2026 cycle is transitioning away from hype-driven narratives toward a "Proof of Work" standard in digital assets and sovereign branding. ​Thank you for your time, Thomas Harrison Founder of The Festive Official Brand. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

No chain has fully solved the trilema but ETH is the closest.

rmn_swiss

$BTC followed by $ETH, then $SOL imo. I'm not talking about a 5k mc shitter on Pump.

Suitable-Profit231

What kind of moron are you, there are still many people that bought BTC at 6-8k and ETH at ~150$...

Master-Monitor112

I would say Sol is probably a better investment than ETH for a bigger return in the next bear market. I can’t understand why institution’s like Sol even with the block chain going down 3 or 4 times a year but they do.

ozera202

The whole market green but ETH lol what a dog shit coin

rmn_swiss

I agree. I would buy tokens like $BTC, some $ETH and $SOL. I just put a small money into my fun tokens / memes / casino tokens :-D

GPThought

cardano is the poster child for why you should never fall in love with a project. the tech roadmap sounds amazing on paper but the market doesnt care about academic papers and peer-reviewed research when there's nothing built on it that people actually use. compare the TVL - ETH has $50B+ locked in defi, SOL has billions, cardano has like $300M after years of promises. at some point you gotta judge projects by what they shipped not what they plan to ship. the $1000 to $312 lesson: never go all-in on a single alt. spread across BTC + 2-3 alts max and accept that some will die.

rmn_swiss

Yes, alts like $ETH, $SOL etc bottom later.

canadianragweed

You should look into RWA. You might want to add 2-3 beside ETH and SOL. Like LINK for instance. Maybe ON DO.

randomquestion11111

Tbh the only reason people care about ETH is because of meme coins and NFTs

GreenStretch

Ideally, all his assets will be seized for the US Sovereign Wealth Fund, including any good cryptos like BTC and ETH.

Ok_Specialist1911

Wellll, Morehead has been around for a longggggg time, he brought in Mike Novogratz as an early ETH adopter. Not saying Novogratz was any good with his EOS shilling and other junk, but they have both been around for a while. As Max Keiser has famously said, shitcoins were created to steal your bitcoin.

No-Masterpiece2246

ETH is 10 years ahead of the competition. Long game investment.

rmn_swiss

Yeah, I generally agree. I still expect lower prices from here. My base case is that $BTC puts in its low sometime over the next six months, give or take, while $ETH, $SOL, and other alts continue to lag behind $BTC. Bitcoin usually finds its footing first. The rest of the market tends to follow with a delay. That’s why patience and positioning matter right now.

rmn_swiss

Yeah, I wouldn’t try to catch a falling knife either. It also makes sense to DCA into higher-conviction, more established assets first, like $BTC, then $ETH and $SOL, before moving further out on the risk curve into L1 ecosystem tokens or memes.

hduynam99

Polysorbate800

aaj094

defeater33

Don't use leverage in crypto 😭. It already has volatility. Swing trading ETH or BTC is safer way. But expect to hold for a year or more per trade.

defeater33

The difference between bid and ask might be large. Never use leverage. Buy into ETH and or BTC with 90% of your investment money. Use the monthly candle chart to find low area. Buy and hold till it hits highs. Expect to hold for a year or two. Less if your lucky but don't expect it.

The MC/ETVL ratio has now returned below the \~100% level — a threshold that historically marks key inflection points. Across the last five years, ETH has only touched or approached parity three times: early 2022, early 2025, and now.

$YEE is the future of finance, the future of Meme culture and the future of ETH. $YEE will flip $PEPE, $YEE will flip $DOGE. I am here for the entire journey and I hope to see everyone on the moon when we finally take liftoff.

Dubb18

ETH along with several others are having their infrastructures being implemented into real world applications., That's why institutions see value in it. That's why ETH was the 2nd round of crypto ETFs.

Local-Builder-4698

I personally go 50/50 BTC ETH, maybe Solana and xrp if the prices will still be going down to boost the portfolio growth.

Navsings

Dynamic DCA sounds like a cool method. I usually use OpenSea for my crypto trading strategy because it's wallet-based and you can swap tokens across different networks like ETH and Base. It makes adjusting your trades in real-time quite easy without extra withdrawal steps.

Royal_Machine_9524

Not sure about timing ETH buys but OpenSea supports Ethereum trading wallet-to-wallet which keeps things quick and flexible. You don’t get bogged down with account limits or delays, and swapping tokens across chains means you can react faster to market moves. Anyone else using OpenSea for regular ETH buys?

Schrezberatina

We used to pay 16 ETH for stupid pics without thinking twice. If I held onto all the ETH paid on NFTs and ICOs back then I would have bags worth millions in fiat right now 😭

watch-nerd

Sure. I don't need more ETH just to have more ETH. I'm already at my target allocation. I'd only add to it opportunistically if I thought the price was a steal.

Simple-Link-3249

Never go all in on one thing. Bitcoin is solid but diversify across ETH, some alts, and maybe some stables. If you can't sleep at night because Bitcoin dropped 20 percent then you're overexposed. Risk what you can actually afford to lose and don't panic sell when volatility hits.

Zero trades. At first I panicked thinking something was broken, but it turns out the trend filter is doing exactly what it should. All three coins I trade (BTC, ETH, SOL) have deeply negative trend scores (-45 to -50), Fear & Greed is at 9 (Extreme Fear), and every signal says "don't buy". Honestly my gut feeling says "everything is cheap, buy the dip!" but the numbers say otherwise. The bot has no emotions and just follows the data. For context: when I let it trade freely during the crash last week, I hit 6 stop-losses in a row and lost about $1.40. Tiny amounts, but 100% loss rate - zero profitable round-trips. So the trend filter preventing new buys right now is probably saving me from more of the same. Anyone else running automated strategies that go fully idle during bear markets?

Iam only buying BTC ETH XRP and a little SOL and that’s it in that order

TheresNoSecondBest

Noobs are buying shitcoins because they want gains. This last couple of cycles showed showed the altseason is gonna rekt everyone trying. One example. Vitalik's premined and centralized shitcoin. Shitcoiners think it's as strong as Bitcoin. Yeah, it isn't. It reached $5k in 2021 Bitcoin run and it barely touched the $5k in 2025 run. This is fiat terms, shitcoiners understand. Looking at the price in sats, it gets much worse. In 2021, each Vitalik's shitcoin was trading for **8 million sats**, the price in 2025? **Under 4 million sats**. Every ETH holder lost half of their wealth, measured in bitcoin. What's even more interesting, that shitcoin reached in 2017, 15 million sats. That's about 70% down in bitcoin terms over the period of 8 years. Shitcoiners learn slowly for sure but I believe they all eventually will and it'll make their shitcoin worth about the same as testnet bitcoin. Because that's what they are. A Bitcoin testnet.

SacredOvacado

For sure, I get you, it’s easy to get lost with all the coins out there. I mostly just dabble with BTC and ETH, sometimes throw a little at ADA or other smaller stuff. I’ve mostly been using Stake for quick crypto bets here and there. Works well enough, but those ones seem more likely to last than a bunch of the hyped up projects.

synthwave_man

I'm all in on ETH, and a few low cap moonshots like Anyone Protocol and DEXTF. No BTC, no stocks, no gold, no silver.

KGKay

Look into stocks like JNJ and LMT for shutdown stocks. As for crypto. It’s hard to say but with the recent adoption of pushing out the grey area. BTC And ETH. Sol is cool but a 70/30 with me

defeater33

ETH more volatility for active trading with high safety. Small amount in doggy coin or cardino if you want

ShiftDizzy

If I had $100 to toss in crypto, I’d probs split it a bit some in the big ones like BTC or ETH for safety, and a few bucks in smaller altcoins just to see if anything pops.      Not gonna lie it’s mostly for fun, I’ve mostly been using Stake for tiny plays so I get the thrill without stressing, but crypto feels the same vibe sometimes. I’d just keep it chill and not go all in on anything nuts.

HappyGolucci

>ETH is gonna hit $10k this time, I just know it

Schrezberatina

A couple of fays ago I bought 160$ worth of parts for my bike. I was short on cash but the seller said they accept BTC. Lightning and other networks were not an option for the seller.  I didn't mind it since the most expensive BTC network transaction I faced up until then was slightly under 2$, and I didn't have enough in other coins to cover the whole bill. I did the transaction but ended up paying 15$ in BTC network fees. At that moment I realized BTC transaction fees during network congestion are worse than online stores that use dynamic pricing during peak hours. I ended up paying the seller what was lost in BTC fees as ETH using ETH mainnet network. Arrived seconds later for fractions of a cent. I still love BTC but I learned my lesson not to regularly do payments with it.

platinumarks

If you want crypto to start booming again, convince me to finally getting around to shorting ETH with 2x leverage like I've been meaning to

AInception

4% is noise. That happens day to day and you can easily find that in the S&P for next to no risk. Wake me up after 40%. I think they're comparing ETH to BTC cycle-to-cycle. ETH barely broke its all time high this cycle. If it just followed BTC and historical trends it'd have approached $10-15K, so lots still believe that to be closer to its 'fair value' ... especially considering ETH inflates only a few % the rate as BTC plus it has orders of magnitude more activity and value accural, which you'd think would interest investors but no. ETH goes up 5% BTC goes up 20%.. BTC falls 5% ETH falls 20%. The charts never used to look like that given there's an over 5X difference in market cap between the two. ETH has been underperforming most alts even outside of the top10 lately.

Tyrantt_47

>Pretty sure staking rewards are considered income and should be taxed at the price when they are awarded Yes, this is true, but when the value increases 3 mins after receiving the reward, you now have unrealized gains on this reward. For example, if you gain 1 X coin that's valued at $5, you'll be taxed as if it was income. But as soon as the $5 increases to $5.01, you now have unrealized gains. Now do this what, 100 more times in the year if you're staking ETH? 365 times more if you have polkadot. >Auditing or tracking this on the other hand. Seems like a fuckin nightmare. 100% >Then all those small sums could have unrealized gains _or_ losses over the course of the financial year. Will* not could. The probability of ending the year at exactly $0.00 profit is probably a probability of 0.00002% chance of happening. >It would need some sort of AI system to figure it all out and would need some sort of way of determining if people own crypto, and whether it's staked or not. Yeah, it would essentially make investing in crypto damn near impossible unless you're rich enough to make it someone else's problem. >Think the purpose of the tax is focus on the people with meaningful amounts haha. In theory, yes. But the IRS is usually more focused on taxing the middle and lower class than they are with the rich.

How to do crypto trading? For me, OpenSea made it easier because the wallet-based system lets you trade across ETH, Solana, and Base chains without constantly switching apps. It helps me track swaps and reduces the typical delays or withdrawal limits you find elsewhere.

AnxiousSeason

You still think the old DOGE has life in her? Man, ETH... ETH ETH ETH. I want to like ETH. I've just lost so much money on it. But it bounced back, so you might be right. I wouldn't count ETH out, I'm just not playing with ETH for now. And LTC, interesting. Don't know much about it -- isn't it a fork of BTC? Frankly I've yet to see a real use case for crypto that is wide spread or retail. So I think crypto mostly (FOR NOW) rides on sentiment and greed, and I think name branding and technicals are strongest for sentiment and greed. BTC is a house hold name, so people know what it is and when they think of crypto bitcoin is the first they think about, even my mom knows about btc. And SOL is an amazing network and has lots of projects going on. We'll see. The market is really crazy right now. Generally. But BTC seems to be following the 4 year cycle pattern, which is hopeful, but we'll see. It's all a gamble in the end huh? lol. GL

Yeah, it's so decentralized that when AWS has an outage no one can transact ETH on the exchanges. It's so decentralized that if the government were to 4xert regulatory pressure on two or three large companies, the network would grind to a halt. But enjoy your kool-aid.

Django_McFly

I saw someone below say it's time to jump in because ETH had *one good day*.

Django_McFly

The numbers don't look good. ETH was up 300%+ when you compare the 2021 peak to the 2018 one. The 2025 one wasn't even up 5% vs 2021. From 300% to 5% to x%. That trend would suggest we don't get back to ATH next time. Combine that with all the fee reduction, which is great for users, but don't ever mention something about the burn driving prices or people needing to stockpile ETH to do transaction. They got the costs down 90%. Whatever they did need, they need 90% less per user. They need a 9X in activity just to get back to where they were: sub 5% gains over four years. I'm bullish on defi but 9X in activity on the biggest chain (especially if we're saying by next cycle) seems like wishful thinking. I'd rather take that bet on BTC. While it has diminishing returns, they aren't forecasting to negatives. I never thought of myself as a maxi but crypto is no longer a *buy anything good. wait four years and you'll be happy you bought*. Everyone that top ticked ETH and SOL in 2021 had like a 10 hour window in 2024/2025 where they had 5%-15% gains then it went back to losses. They could have bought USDC, put it into Aave and after a (one, singular) year they'd have gotten the same results. And they had years to withdraw and take advantage, not 10 hours or it's back to losses. You have to pick winners and losers now.

I sold a seat post for a bicycle for 1.25 ETH back in like 2018. I worked great!

Top_Nitesh_1806

If you’re going ETH ↔ SOL, I’ve had the least “surprise fees” with established routes like Wormhole or Across, and aggregators like Jumper help compare totals before you move. For swaps/rebalancing around the bridge (wallet-to-wallet, no account), I sometimes use GhostSwap to compare quotes across sources—just keep bridge fees + slippage in mind.

Last time ETH dropped under 2k was in March post tarifs on a dip at a bottom around 76k... ETH/BTC is holding quite a bit better than last time post tariffs so far... (0.03ish 0.02ish), almost 50% better. Same can't be said of many alts vs BTC. I am loading on ETH around 2k, I think it is a smart move.

Centralisation risks wouldn't worry me too much, not everything needs to be as massively decentralised as ETH or BTC, they're the foundational backbones. Having said that, Zero is currently overhyped marketing centred around possible future advancements & Google being involved rather than what's currently feasible right now. People do tend to buy hype so it might pop, but the last 5 years were so severe I can only see people buying in after it's already been scampumped to get retail to buy tops & VCs get to offload their very generous allocations for the next few years.

Sorry to hear you have this experience. You may want to consider if selling ADA and LINK and reinvesting in ETH could be a good idea. There’s a good chance they won’t recover even when ETH and BTC recover. I also wouldn’t add more to loosing positions, but I just never DCA, I would wait for trend reversal if I want to add more. And I’d also rather diversify to some other asset class. Looking forward, you need to learn using Stop Loss and basics of technical analysis to become better at managing your investments.

It's not a buy. Coinbase charges way too high of fees and they will get bites taken out of them by everyone post clarity act. Anyone with some knowledge trades on chain and bypasses CEX but it's going to become a race to the bottom with Robinhood and others trying to attract everyday people. Coinbase is also not positioned well on the stablecoin side of things and is on the outside looking in at the current whitehouse meetings for market structure. They were early, somehow got regulatory approval and were the only game in town but the doors are opening for others. At the same time, everyone is realizing that you don't need BTC or ETH to go up in value for tokenization to happen at a massive scale. Tokenized metals are doing ridiculous volume now on chain but it's not helping ETH or any other major nor should it. You could make the argument that the cheaper ETH is the better because it will cost less to transact. I personally hold crypto to do on chain trades and actions and I keep a short for the same amount so I'm price neutral. It costs me some liquidity but at least I'm not down 50% from the top.

Oh man there are so many. I still can't believe the HEX/Pulsechain guy (Richard Heart aka Dick Heart) never got arrested. He forked ETH 1:1 then ran the ledger off-chain on his server where he had people deposit real ETH for insane lockup periods like 2-5-10 years for out of this world APYs. He claimed the fork would at least double everyone's coins, and had an APY graph on his site showing million dollar payouts on like $2000 deposits. His personal webpage was full of him draped in 'high fashion' / absolute clown outfits, pages and pages of his Rolex diamond watches, million dollar sports cars, and he even purchased the worlds largest uncut diamond and renamed it the HEX diamond. He paraded his wealth to prove to his cult following how legit their soon to be profit returns are.. AND IT WORKED the cult was relentlessly using his image to try and prove the naysayers are idiots. He even had a FAQ all on 'Why Pulsechain is NOT a Ponzi scheme' that people copy pasted in every argument. When he finally grew enough negative attention he changed his website to a sob stories about his youth and now he spends all his time helping his mother lol. Removed the gallery with all his watches. He updated his website maybe 10 times over the few years, but you can always use the Waybackmachine to see it all laid bare. Heart's fashion pictures are still my top1 cringe crypto moment. Jaden Smith has nothing on this guy. I wish I had time to grab a picture right now but it was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen. He should have been put in jail for that alone.

long term, I use OpenSea for swapping and holding both BTC and ETH. what’s nice is you can switch tokens across chains inside your wallet whenever you want, no waiting for an exchange to process withdrawal, so it’s flexible if you change plans.

I used to have a ton of ETH but decided to get out last cycle. To me if BTC fails the whole crypto market collapses
