ETH

CryptoNerdSmacker

If you ever want a metric to see how well positioned your current asset is look no further than how hard its competitors try and attack it. Day in/out XRP and Ripple are being fud’ed by: -ETH gas fume huffers -LINK lobotomized holders -HBAR hobos And whatever other garage based science crypto projects there are. All casting stones from their glass houses.

bradenlikestoreddit

ETH barely moved. A lot of others did.

R4ID

Depends entirely on the topic, are we talking about network security? network scalability? what other network are we comparing it too? The point im making is your going around over and over showing off you dont know what you're talking about. You make it very easy to defeat your argument by repeating the same failed sentence talking about TVL in a non TVL chain. It would be like me complaining about the number of Smart contracts on bitcoins layer 1 and then pointing to the number that ETH has and say "See, its so much better as a blockchain"

Lol this guy got downvoted because some ETH bagholder took this personally 😂😂😂

VariatCA

I literally did take profit, what are you even basing that assumption on? My comment history is all there, feel free to do digging. I sold over 65% of my BTC/ETH over a 120k / 4.5k average, and have been using some of those proceeds to buy this ridiculously-oversold dip as well. You guys keep predicting the end of the world, and you miss one opportunity after another.

Honestly, this time it could be different for alts like ETH, LINK and similar. I know alts are risky and heavily manipulated, but consider that now every serious DeFi and RWA project has big players coming in, and many are already involved. I’d still allocate a small amount to solid alts, just to have some exposure in case the bull run really takes off, and I think it will, because some of these projects are genuinely strong. BTC will remain the leader, of course, but don’t sleep on good alts. In 2021 the alt market was mostly driven by NFT hype; this time it’s different.

Backrus

Was, not anymore. Let's look at April low. NVDA, the biggest market cap in the world, did 2.5x from the bottom. BTC did like 50%. Even from bear market bottom it was underperforming META, etc. On a risk-adjusted basis is done until proven otherwise. It's also the only asset in the world this year that collapsed instantly the moment it went into positive gamma. And it should behave more like TSLA or gold in August - gap up and go, and you don't look back because gamma feeds onto itself. Free assets move like that, and, on top of that, are able to squeeze shorts. You could have been short BTC since December 2024 FOMC meeting and never be in danger. In a post halving year, with historically weak dollar and during later innings of the greates bull market in history. Let that sink in. Since BTC as freedom idealogy is dead, and has been for quite some time, I'm interested in outperforming debasement, and it seems like mega caps with passive flows are the way to go. Those and anything with decent momentum. Logically, one should assume that there will be frontrunning of new FED chair and ZIRP so bottom around May, but who knows. It depends how deep we'll go this bear. IBIT cost basis is at 80.5k. Selling will accelerate there. Zombie companies will start puking coins. MSTR will get delisted from indices because it's just a close fund (and for close fund with expenses being 6-10% below mNav is considered fair value). So my guess would be 30k-40k range as bottom. Maybe even below IBIT floor, why not? Unless US or Japan tumbles - BTC has never seen real recession so 4-digits is the possibility then. There's also a scenario that the real top was in early December 2024 because we got peak euphoria then and BTC has topped in gold terms (and it printed and confirmed nasty head and shoulders in gold terms now). All in all, fully financialised BTC aka hijacked coin has become everything I don't like about financial world so I sold my whole stack few weeks ago and I'm enjoying unfolding carnage now. But I can see reality when Wall St runs ETH without BTC because narrative is there and test pump in Q2 was quite successful.

Post is by: Ubique008 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1p2gr23/playbook_from_a_crypto_veteran_nfa_dyor/ Been here since 2017. I lost everything in the FTX and Luna crash. Became a BTC maxi and it made me wonders this time. I bet the house in 15k BTC 2022 and sold it all at 107k. Never made back my 2021 paper gains, but still. What I am, me, me personally, have written down to do: BTC can go 75 80 85% down. It happens. The 4y cycle has not disproven itself yet. I am sitting all in safe treasure bonds until 13-14 months after all time high. By november decemver 2026 the bottom should be in. My guess is around 40-55k for BTC. When will I sell? 13-14 months after halving. I 100% got the bottom in 2022 and missed the top by not much tbh. It was the same time playbook that worked in 2017, and worked 2021, and worked again 2025. 2021 I lost 100% what I invested in the LUNA FTX crap. Never again. I myself will only buy BTC. Again, around nov 2026 and sell around 13-14 months after halvint whenever that is. This is not financial advice, this is just what a crypro veteran who got 100% wrecked did this time and will do again. Hold right now if you want. But Hold BTC. HOLD ONLY BTC. I would sell everything, even BTC, and way for nov 2026, but if you hold BTC i wouldnt blame you. I hold now what would be over 8 figures of alts at ATH, that are cents. Even bluechip alts like DOT and AVAX that I hold since 2021 ATH still wrecked me to hell. I would never in a million years hold alts agains, even ETH. Buckle up kids.

Open_Category6100

lol, most of these guys are assholes. Funny, but assholes. If I was in your shoes, I would not sell. I would write down how much Ethereum & Solana I have. If they’re not rounded numbers, as few decimals as possible, I’d buy a little more. These are the assets you bought. They are down and will only go more down. You bought at the top. It is what it is. But, if you sell, you will make the loss real. Do not sell, forget about it. Whatever amount you wish you had access to right now, is what should have never been invested. Sometimes going all in or gambling works, sometimes it doesn’t. These are one of the latter times. 2nd, now that you’ve forgotten about your Ethereum & Solana, and forgiven yourself while making peace, we come to the 40k you still have in cash. Crypto will bottom out. If you want to buy cheap, figure out a way to make more cash while still being a college student. Dropshipping, YouTube videos, labor work on the weekends, etc. Find something that will help you accumulate more cash, after first focusing on school. Crypto will continue to go down and this advice is if you want to buy more. Non-negotiables 1. Do not sell at a loss. Eat the drop as a lesson. 2. Finish school. Either spend the 40k or make more money to finish school and continue to buy crypto. Finally, if 2026 comes around and is ending, you’ve used your 40k, crypto is still down, and you have no more money… me personally? I would take a year off from school. I would focus full time on accumulating cash and wait for the market to correct. It will correct. It may take 2 years from today, but it will correct. If it wasn’t going to correct then these assholes in the comment section wouldn’t be so humorous. But, if you sell your crypto at a loss, you will make it real. College is a business. It’s meant to help you make more money. People take student loans out, to then receive a degree that will help them make more money, and then they pay back student loans, as an initial start up cost. It’s all business and should be approached more financially focused and money oriented. Taking a year off from school because you don’t want to sell at a 35k loss is actually very financially intelligent. Selling your crypto at a 35k loss is stupid. That’s almost half your yearly tuition. If you must take a year off though, let it be dedicated to actually accumulating more cash, and investing some into coins with actual utility. You should also diversify into other assets. Don’t let it become a year of degeneracy and wasted potential. P.S. My advice applies to ETH and SOL. Pepe is a meme coin and was stupid. Forget about that money, it’s gone. I also don’t know what HBAR is and LINK is debatable depending on how much and at what price you purchased. Smaller coins deserve smaller allocation/percentage of your overall crypto portfolio. <- but, they must always have utility. Good luck!

Striker3737

Some of the major alts might not make it to next cycle. Alts are for trading, not holding. Even ETH

grzeszu82

BTC king, ETH next tier.

epic_trader

You should stop trying to argue about this stuff until you have a better understanding of how Ethereum reaches consensus. There's no voting and there's nothing akin to voting. No one is "pressing a button", BlackRock aren't "pressing any buttons" and Coinbase aren't "pressing any buttons" of anyone's behalf. No one is doing anything that could be compared to "pressing a button". Client software is running on its own without any human intervention. No stakers are making financial or political or ideological decisions that impacts Ethereum's consensus. Not updating a client is not the same as "voting". If BlackRock decides to do anything that goes against the consensus, like refusing to attest to and finalize blocks, they'll have their stake deleted through the inactivity leak or slashing, and the network will again reach 67%. No one has the power to prevent Ethereum from finalizing in a sense that they hold any power over the network. The best anyone can do is temporarily prevent the network from finalizing until their ETH is deleted and they've lost $billions. You actually need 67% stake to successfully "51% attack" Ethereum in the sense that you take complete control over the network, in which case the response is to fork the attacker off the network.

jawni

Probably not worth discussing unless looking at the specific figures because it depends on the amount of debt and how it's structured. Some won't necessarily get liquidated but they will dump. It's essentially seigniorage. You're either issuing shares when they're overly expensive relative to the assets being held, or you're selling the assets to buyback shares. FG Nexus just sold 20% of their ETH to buyback shares today.

mrbourgs

What I think vis-a-vis the market is quite irrelevant. There is too many variable and explanations to those variable for me to answer you on a reddit post. As far as your holdings, I wouldn’t worry about ETH, LINK, ADA and HBAR. I would clear PEPE the coin. What value did you see in this meme frog? We still have 10 days before we get a better understanding of whats next. Hopefully it doesn’t close under 82k and If it does, take that PEPE loss and roll it back into something solid.

AnyPortInAHurricane

No one posting here as there in nothing to discuss. Hey did you here Tom Lee BS on cnbc , lol. What a con man, blamed everything but himself . 10,000 ETH by Dec uh huh How come they dont get thrown in jail ????

HackerStickers

Just setup monthly auto purchase DCAs for BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and call it a day

Kage_noir

You dont lose if you dont sell. I dont know about ADA,link and PEPE. But I know HBAR had a good pump this year? Did you not TP? Eth also hit ATH, did you not tp? ETH is likely to recover, it just a matter of time, they always do. People often panic sell and then watch it later. It is likely you need to know when to TP. But I can't advise you on what to do specifically. Only think I can say, which might not be helpful, dont invest money you cant afford to lose. This is a good lesson going forward on your trading career

GabeSter

Sharplink Gaming went really really hard buying up ETH, do you know how they financed it and if they have any risk that could force them to sell?

DebtSmart

Not when u bought ETH instead

_Commando_

One reason why people will sell their ETH and move onto other things like ADA.

MonadTran

ETH will probably recover by the next year. The others could crash and burn, heck, I'm not even sure what most of them are, why did you think it was a good idea to dump your money into a freaking meme?.. PEPE, goodness gracious. If you managed to secure an internship you'll probably be fine, eventually - software engineering doesn't strictly require a degree. As long as you don't keep dumping your earnings into the freaking PEPE.

RandomJoe7

In general I believe alt coins will lose relevancy as the market matures. You can already tell how much the hype has died down compared to previous cycles, where everyone was super enthusiastic about "the tech" etc. But it turns out the tech is more or less useless (or can be accomplished without having to have a highly volatile/expensive coin behind it). Too many people have had bad experiences with shitcoins, memecoins, scams, rug pulls, NFTs, etc. and thus they are much less likely to ever touch them again. People have realized they're more or less all copy/paste useless crap. Yes, you can make money with them, but it's gambling. And instead of 100's or 1000's of alt coins like in old cycles, you now have millions. So even if people still invest in alt coins, those investments are getting much more diluted across many more coins. I even think ETH will lose relevancy over time (very slow bleed). BTC will have a future as a "digital gold" investment, but obviously the 10x and 100x's of the past are also long gone, it will keep maturing and flattening out like stocks etc.

RandomJoe7

Well, the sky IS falling right now. Crypto is heading to bear season again, and anyone buying know is just buying into a falling knife and will lose % pretty fast in the next weeks/months. Yes, of course, it might have some bounces in between, but overall trend I mean. Don't buy now. Don't be the exit liquidity for others. Wait 1-2 years, then buy. Then hold for 2 years or so and sell on the next ATH. And only buy BTC, forget about all the other shitcoins. And while I dont think ETH is a shitcoin, I do think it's going to keep losing relevancy long term.

dante695

ETH is at $2,820 now — looks like my previous prediction played out exactly as expected. We’re moving right into the scenario I mentioned last time

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Crypto whales are closing long positions on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) amid market challenges, realizing significant losses. One whale closed BTC and ETH long positions with a $10.68 million loss and opened a 6x leveraged ETH short position. Another whale incurred a $6.2 million loss and opened a 2x leveraged ETH short position. On-chain data highlights increased liquidations and bearish sentiment among major traders, reflecting broader market uncertainty and declining demand despite institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

justcurious3287

IMO, yes. I look up top cryptocurrencies lists, or best cryptocurrencies list, and they show up often. They also both have a huge market cap and good real-world utility. BTC and ETH are the best, but XRP and SOL are both runners up, IMO.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp downturn, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) leading the decline. BTC dropped to a seven-month low of just over $88,000, while ETH fell below $2,900 and XRP tested the $2.00 level. Over $180 million in liquidations occurred within an hour, primarily from long positions, contributing to a total of $750 million liquidated in the past 24 hours. Nearly 220,000 traders were affected, with the largest single liquidation worth over $24 million. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Maleficent-Bill5516

hey there, if you already have BTC and ETH on your list, you could look at steady long-term picks like SOL, ADA, or LINK since they all have real use cases and aren’t just hype. You can grab any of them through Jumper Exchange and then just hold and see how they play out over the next few years.

Tway_UX

I think Glassnode basically found that ETH holders move and spend their coins frequently than Bitcoin holders. It makes sense since people use ETH in DeFi and swaps on places like Jumper Exchange, while BTC is mostly treated like digital gold.

jaz9999

4-5 years is a long time and I actually did that in the last bear market lmao I'm still making profit on my BTC and ETH (not as much as if I'd sold a month ago) but I'd rather take my money out now and put it back in when either a) crypto tanks and we have a bear market or b) there's more positive sentiment and it looks like a 2nd run is starting

PriorLeast3932

I love how you spent three paragraphs flexing that you ran a node in your mom's basement just to miss the economic reality of the situation. ***1. The Custodian Defense is a joke*****.** Arguing that BlackRock isn't a threat because 'Coinbase presses the buttons for them' is like arguing a mob boss is innocent because he hired a hitman to pull the trigger. BlackRock controls the capital. If they threaten to move their 10M ETH to a different custodian, Coinbase will do exactly what they are told. That is centralized coercion, regardless of who owns the hardware. ***2. 'Refusing to Upgrade' IS Voting.*** You played yourself. You admitted: *'If you don’t agree... you don’t upgrade.'* Exactly. If an entity controls 34%+ of the stake and 'refuses to upgrade,' the network cannot finalize. That is a Veto. That is a Vote. That is governance power. Stop hiding behind semantic definitions of 'consensus' to ignore the reality of 'political control.' It doesn't make you look smart; it makes you look like a useful idiot for the banks.

Major-Rabbit1252

Strongly disagree. Institutions already use networks they don’t fully control all the time. The entire internet runs on open standards nobody owns. Email, TCP/IP, and countless other protocols are “public,” yet banks, governments, and huge corporations rely on them every second. Ethereum is similar in that sense. It gives institutions a neutral settlement layer they don’t have to trust a competitor to run. Building their own chain sounds good on paper, but most private chains end up being expensive, isolated, and lacking the security and decentralization that make a global network useful in the first place. A government chain only solves government needs. Corporations aren’t going to hand over all their settlement data to a government-run chain when they can use a public one that’s battle-tested, transparent, and secured by tens of billions in hardware and capital. That neutrality is the point. And we’re already seeing institutions opt in to public networks: BlackRock tokenizing assets on Ethereum, major banks experimenting with public chain settlement, and global payment providers testing stablecoins on open networks. If “no institution” would use ETH, we wouldn’t be seeing that. Private chains are great for internal stuff, but when you need global liquidity, composability, and interoperability, a public chain is the only thing that actually works.

baIIern

Uh, damn. I've listened to all the people saying just buy ETH and BTC during the last years

ReacherNMN

Let’s list 3 coins (no BTC,ETH, stable coins) which if they vanish tomorrow will have a huge impact on economy and will cease some corporate business to exist.

truespike77

Stop talking nonsense, he did the right decision, buying ETH at 3k , it’s like buying BTC at 3k , volatility it’s what make you make money in crypto, have you ever seen a straight line chart , only time will tell , but in my opinion you did good

Mammoth-Security-278

I wouldn’t rush to swap everything. BTC is definitely the safer, colder-storage long-term play, but ETH’s staking yield + its role in DeFi still make it valuable to hold. A lot of treasury companies (Bit Digital included) are moving toward ETH because of the staking income, which BTC can’t generate. You don’t have to pick one, just rebalance if ETH volatility is stressing you.

RamoneBolivarSanchez

1. I hold zero XRP and that comment was meant to highlight how stupid people are when they make it clear they *don’t know how to talk* about crypto (while trying to sound smart) 2. Running a validator doesn’t equate to staking (look up archival nodes) 3. Blackrock doesn’t stake their ETH, they have custodians to do this (Coinbase, Lido, Fireblocks, Kiln, Figment, Stader, P2P). 4. There is literally no “voting” - it’s a matter of nodes running validator clients and upgrading together in accordance. Even with majority stake in Lido’s hands (has been this way for years), nothing has happened and the network still has robust execution and consensus clients. You’re the type of person who should stay out of crypto. Stick to buying ETF’s and sit down kid.

NoSkidMarks

Anything that's transparent, like BTC and ETH, because they are the only assets that can be verified without advanced math and comply with regulations. Avoid all the privacy scams, they will only get you in trouble.

jawni

I'm up somewhere between 5-10x(bought most of my ETH 2017-2020 and bought a good chunk of my SOL at $10 and $15 in the bear), I'm down from the peak probably 30-40%.

Scared-Metal9294

That would create panic. Also, with a comment like that institutional investors adopting the blockchain, smart contracts, gas fee tech are going to be completely turned off and unwilling to build on ETH platform.

Old_Singer_217

Welcome, and here’s your first piece of concrete advice: 99.9% of those people messaging you are scammers. Block them immediately. Never take financial advice from DMs or TikTok. Since you're starting, the best advice is to prioritize security and simplicity. Buy BTC or ETH and ignore the noise. If you want a platform that lets you get straight to trading without major commitments, I highly recommend BYDFi. They support NOKYC access, which makes the setup super fast. More importantly, they were recognized by Forbes as a top exchange, and they have an 800 BTC Protection Fund. Focus on finding a trustworthy place to hold your assets, not on hype.

watch-nerd

I took about half my port off the table in Nov 24 - Jan 25, taking profits. My remaining half is still in the green. Avg BTC price is 45k, ETH 2k.

Hefty_Cup_3484

Honestly the trend makes sense. A lot of these publicly traded firms are basically trying to become the “MSTR of ETH,” but each one has a different thesis. Bit Digital caught my eye mostly because they’re going all-in on ETH staking instead of splitting across BTC/mining. They’re hedging less, but seem to have an active strategy instead of just holding ETH passively.

Mein_Kaiser-

Cardano doesn’t need to pay anyone it’s one of the few major projects with no VC allocation, no insider unlocks and no foundation dumping on retail. The idea that ‘the team sells every time the price moves’ is simply wrong. Cardano’s distribution has been transparent since day one. And charts don’t measure technology. If price action defined the future, ETH in 2018, SOL in 2020 and even BTC in 2015 would’ve all been declared dead on arrival. I’m talking about architecture, not hype cycles. Bitcoin has its role, Cardano has its role they solve different problems in the ecosystem. No need to turn it into religion. But hey, if Charles is secretly paying people for Reddit comments, I’m still waiting for my deposit.

MinimalGravitas

Have you got an example of Vitalik selling ETH in the last 5 or 6 years, rather than just moving assets between wallets or making donations? Last time I remember people making the claim that he was selling you could see on Etherscan that he was donating to a Ukrainian charity, and before that he sent a bunch of ETH to a Gitcoin public goods funding pool...

MinimalGravitas

To have control over Ethereum you would need over 2/3 of the total staked ETH. There are currently 35,676,943 ETH staked, so an attacker would need to buy 71,353,887 ETH in order to successfully attack the network. At a current price of $3,012 per ETH that would cost $215 Billion, however it seems unlikely that the price would remain constant... The current total supply of ETH is 120,695,995, and as noted above, 35,676,943 is already staked. That means there is only 84,323,057 left unstaked. If the attacker wants to obtain the 71,353,887 that they need to buy about 84.6% of all remaining unstaked ETH (and that's ignoring lost/inaccessible coins). I do not think the price per ETH would remain constant if there was that much buying pressure, so the real cost to an attacker would be much, much higher. Compare that to the cost to attack a proof of work chain. The biggest PoW network is of course Bitcoin. There has been research calculating the cost to obtain 51% of the hashing power [https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4727999], which would likely be done by building ASIC manufacturing facilities and energy infrastructure and it was estimated at around $16 billion. That's more than an order of magnitude cheaper than an equivalent attack on Ethereum's PoS mechanism. The idea that PoS is more vulnerable than PoW to a well funded attacker buying control is just a fairytale that falls apart when you actually do the maths.

_Commando_

One reason why people will sell their ETH and move onto other things like ADA.

crossy1686

Okay, so what's the use case? How is this utilised? Where is the adoption? What's the incentive to build on ADA when there are better options? ADA isn't being mentioned anywhere, other tokens have got their own ETF's at this point. SOL does all these things better than ADA and ETH. No one gives a shit about the technology.

You don't understand the problem.  Who holds and stakes the ETH? Who gets the voting rights, you as ETF holder or Blackrock?

Horror-Sector7498

Don’t wait for the “perfect” moment. Start small, invest regularly with DCA, and focus on trusted coins like BTC, ETH, or RYO.

piggleii

If Tom Lee is such a great investor, why did he buy ETH at higher prices before? Wouldn't it have been better to wait for these lower prices?

dlcx99

Got in 2017.. still managed to lose 80% (was up 100K at one point). Too many alts that collapsed such as WTC, Luna, ONE and so on. Should have just gone BTC / ETH and would be fine, hard lesson unfortunately which has ruined my sleep for years.

wales-bloke

I still check the charts out of habit. I don't feel so bad for missing the ETH peak (I held at $4800, was greedy); I sold reluctantly at $4300 because of paranoia. This would've hurt. But it will go back up.

hollmarck

The correlation between Nvidia earnings and crypto markets has been fascinating to watch. AI infrastructure and crypto mining both rely heavily on GPU power, so it makes sense that strong Nvidia performance would signal optimism across both sectors. If their earnings show continued AI demand and solid guidance, we could see a nice rally in risk assets including BTC and ETH.

Renowned_Molecule

Still green over here. But I don’t buy BTC or ETH.

RamoneBolivarSanchez

dumping his ETH? you mean selling very small amounts relative to his overall stack to pay for things?

Dark_Raiden_

I 100% agree. Bears are going to get chewed up. Unfortunately I hold a lot of ETH, and its looking like its activated "Q1 - *shitcoin dumper*" mode. So let's see

rv009

I don't think vitalik can say anything when the dude was dumping his ETH during this whole run and while it was struggling to increase too. It's like he is crying about blackrock while drying his tears with the cash that blackrock gave him.... He sold to them....helloooo....🤦

VariatCA

Depends on your risk tolerance and potential room for growth. Legally you can buy some of both though lol, and devote the "risk" portion of your port contribution to ETH. Similar to how a Crypto portfolio "should" consist mainly of BTC to minimize risk compared to alts, you usually "should" have a bigger percentage of an investment port devoted to safer assets. I laddered down on ETH because -50% from ATH still has a ton of room to run. Eth just gets bullied to hell & back when BTC suffers lol.

ETH is finished from an investment standpoint. High risk, low reward. Why would anyone hold through the bear with how poorly it performed in the bull?

So why not just buy NVIDIA instead of ETH?

Maybe ETH? ETH has serious potential to be used by financial institutions

>This is just proof they were a decade late to basic blockchain functionality. It's literally the first DEX. First major network to solve double spend problem w/o POW. Honestly could keep going because of many brilliant updates since inception. Oh and the coin that fought off the SEC for the rest of the market. Because if they lost SOL and ETH were next by default, everyone who was really paying attention understands that. But yeah keep going off on something you clearly know nothing about. If you don't even understand the infrastructure built inside and around it, why are you trying to convince others it's shit? What do you have to gain?

There's 6 ETH for every 1 BTC. If ETH recovers to that ratio, then BlackRock's ETHA would exceed their IBIT fund.

Not really. Sommi is a lot funnier than Ivan. I used to like Ivan, but he mostly talks about BTC. He talked about Fartcoin too many times. He also pivoted to SOL over ETH. I also stopped watching Cryptosrus years ago since I don't own any BTC and not interested in them pumping or promoting it. If I was a BTC maxi I would love those channels.

aaaanoon

He works on the ETH POS fork

What institution was ever really alt coining it to begin with? Major institutions are only ever going to be looking at BTC and maybe ETH

All networks must sooner or later allow wallet migration from ECDSA to a quantum resistant wallet algorithms. People who won't migrate would be at risk. If we want this on mainnets by 2028 we need to start working on this now. If we are too late for this. Which is possible knowing how stupid humans can be. Then North Korea will send every single ECDSA cryptocurrency (including ETH and BTC) to the actual 0 by stealing all the money and extracting all liquidity to the top quantum resistant cryptos. Tick tock. And the "funny" part? If Satoshi isn't alive (or incapable (no key, etc)) of migrating his 1 mil coins. Then the races to Satoshi's wallet begins. **The first to have this quantum capability wins 1,000,000 bitcoins even post migration.**

Is Tom Lee buying ETH really bullish when his price predictions are so moronic?

Initial_Alfalfa243

So... BTC and ETH are the future or not?

Hwoarangatan

Just BTC and ETH. The rest is garbage comparatively.

ETH needs 3k

Apparently Blackrock can dump more ETH than Tom Lee can buy.

You need to be in one of three camps: 1. ETH holder, stressed as fuk. 2. ETH holder, happy because you're buying more. 3. Not an ETH holder. Nobody knows which camp is the best.

piggleii

What about ETH’s?

reversenotation

Guilty ETH have got no rhythm

ProudPeak3570

ETH def gonna hit that 2500 support

BusinessGoblins

But Tom Lee said 15k ETH

BusinessGoblins

My goodness ETH is such a useless piece of shit.

imfuckinglying2u

I remember you from last year. The ETH guy. Did you finally sell at 4.9k?

Last_Satisfaction_14

Where do you think that will be botom of BTC and ETH

Natural_Berry_8007

My ETH target is 2800, but even now might be a good entry to start DCA. It doesn’t look though good to me how fast the flash down is. Probably more downside still ahead.

Chance_Cheetah6925

I know buddy. We all want crypto cancer to die off so we can heal and move on. BTC, XRP, ETH, and other crypto. Please just crash and erase from our memory.

Pretenderinchief

ETH will never see 500 again. Do you know the amount of orders at the 1500-2000 range. It will take the complete collapse of the economy for it to see that, although I wouldn't mind scooping some up at that range.

thenamelessone7

I had a feeling that if normies started buying BTC/ETH ETFs they would be the first to sell during a major correction

Maybe crypto, but bitcoin and the big alts like ETH and SOL will be just fine. It's easy to think no one wants these anymore when we just plow through all support on the way down, but institutions and big money have been waiting for a move like this to get in. I remember there was that interview with some billionaire who said trying to figure out when and how to get a position in bitcoin keeps him up at night. At a certain point, there are way too many wealthy people who are waiting for a big dip. Every $10k we go down is more and more money that will pile in. My guess is $50k will be the absolute bottom of this bear because psychologically if you have $1 million dollars waiting to get ihe bearn, at $100k bitcoin you could only get 10 bitcoin. At $50k bitcoin you can get twice as much. That psychological level will be huge buy in price for buyers in tjust like $100k level was huge for sellers during the bull.

parntsbasemnt4evrBC

don't do it, they are just running it down to wick the previous lows on BTC/ETH and then it will rip higher into close because nobody is crazy enough to hold short into NVDA earnings/Shutdown US econ releases

AprilsMostAmazing

Other than a BTC and XRP custom buy all my buys have been MOONS in the past week. I know i'm taking a massive gamble but I think MOONs are a good long term hold. I also have some MOONs set to short term profit so I can reopen my BTC and ETH custom buys that I had to cancel
