What I want is BitMine for ETH exposure in Canada. then I can stop being a validator and pay taxes. the stock can give you exposure in a tax free account.

Come on ETH dont be so shit

dmhoffman777

Facts XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly coin with half the supply still in their hands. BTC, ETH, LINK, Pendle all make more sense. If you want another undervalued low cap with real upside, IOTA’s worth adding too.

Ok-Comfortable-3174

Buy ETH or BTC. Nothing else.

Sapeurna

That strategy works for timing cycles, but XRP always runs last for a reason Ripple still controls half the supply and dictates the pace. You’re just waiting to be their exit liquidity. If you want a safer DCA target beyond ETH, IOTA’s the smarter play.

Damn I've gone full crypto normie. Past several months I've only bought BTC, ETH, and SOL, and I haven't taken my coins off my exchange.

Kurosaki56843

I noticed it on Nexo too - cool to see they moved quickly to list it, since most new tokens take a while to show up on established platforms. For now I’m just watching, but if it does manage to build real traction, being able to trade and manage it alongside BTC/ETH in one place is a nice convenience.

Mediocre-Exchange-86

Try to put a little in multiple coins like XRP, Mog, ADA, ETH, Bitcoin,etc. You can split that money to put into these. Then, every week, when you get paid, put as much as you can in the ones that are in a dip. Buy low and sell high. Never break that rule.

tldr; An $11 billion Bitcoin whale has shifted $4 billion into Ethereum (ETH), surpassing SharpLink Gaming as the second-largest corporate Ether holder. The whale began rotating funds from Bitcoin to Ether in August, signaling a market trend toward altcoins with higher growth potential. This move has inspired other large investors, with nine whale addresses acquiring $456 million worth of ETH. Institutional interest in Ether is also growing, with spot ETFs purchasing $1.8 billion in recent days, highlighting a broader shift beyond Bitcoin. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Exactly ETH has real builders and revenue, while XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly token with half the supply locked in their hands. Nothing unique there, just branding. If you want another project with actual staying power, IOTA’s the better add.

MichaelAischmann

ETH tripled as exchange reserves dwindled. IMO this trend is likely to continue. A supply shock is not an event or something that gets announced. It happens gradually especially for very divisible assets like crypto.

83mancio83

BTC and ETH. Leave the rest alone

Donjarox

ETH exchange reserves now at 17.44M. The lowest in history. When we hit sub 15M (12% of all ETH) we will likely experience a supply squeeze.

brandonholm

Nah, ETH is on a long term trend of losing value against Bitcoin and doesn’t offer anything really unique, and it could likely be surpassed by something else. I don’t see ETH being around long term like Bitcoin

BouncersArePeopleToo

Of course XRP “haters” are just pointing out reality: Ripple still controls half the supply. That’s not hate, that’s centralization 101. If you want something that actually looks good next to ETH, IOTA’s the smarter add.

RefrigeratorLow1259

Leios and Hydra will scale, plus Midnight Privacy chain secured on Cardano is unique in the space..Problems like lack of a major stable will be solved by USD1 or RLUSD....There are integration problems with USDC because it only supports inferior account based chains like ETH and SOL which have mutable state and less security, and they are too lazy to develop, likewise with Chainlink, but it will come.

Ok_Leadership4987

Keeping a moon bag is fine though. Keep whatever you have in XRP and ETH and see if they take off. Put your big money into Bitcoin.

Ok_Leadership4987

It depends on what you plan to do. Crypto typically runs in cycles. You will hear everyone say it is different this time, but they say that every time. The metrics for XRP are horrific. ETH is better, but there are coins that are better, in my opinion. With that being said, most people do no research at all, so I think XRP and ETH will go up. Please tell me when you plan on selling them? If you don't know when to sell, then please just buy Bitcoin. If you know when to sell, then you can basically buy anything, and it will go up since we are almost in Alt season.

FirmInFaith

ITT: BuT thIs CoiN, noT thiS cOin From my opinion, trading = gambling. No one really knows how a market is going to turn out, especially in crypto. I have made money from ETH and XMR, keeping BTC as my long term investment. **Best advice for anyone is DYOR.** Invest money that you're okay with losing.

Crypto-4-Freedom

Stay away from xrp, its the worst shitcoin out there. Go with BTC and ETH, and if you want some lowcap go with LINK &Pendle.

Tiny_Kangaroo

Regular contributions to BTC and maybe ETH are your best long term bets. That means continuing through this bull run, all the way down if there's a bear market and/or recession and back up again.

ARoundForEveryone

Sure. Just like any other financial market like NYSE or NASDAQ or Nikkei. People who want to make money watch where others spend their money. They either jump on board that inflating boat, or they jump off the boat when it's about to sink. But it's pretty tinfoil-hat of anyone to think that governments are rugpulling their own coins or intentionally turning their own internationally-recognized fiat into memecoins just for lulz. That said, multiple governments have invested in BTC and ETH, as a way to step into the future, rather than relying on nuggets of shiny yellow stuff pulled up from a thousand feet below the surface of the earth. But to get back to your question - if the US has a million crypto millionaires, the government would want a piece of that, right? But they'd also like to brag that they're the home of a million crypto millionaires, because crypto is the "money of the future," or at least that's what the crypto world wants us to think. And it very well could be. If it is, the US benefits from being that home to those rich, forward-thinking, futuristic folk. While some other anti-crypto nation entirely reliant on their own sovereign wealth will have to keep proving year after year that their currency is great. So, yeah, world governments definitely monitor other currencies, indices, precious metals, gems, and other valuables. And their currency's performance against those others. And it's not lost on any government that BTC, and crypto in general, has eaten away at the world's supply of fiat. Every government should be worried about crypto. But despite its pros and relatively short rise to prominence, it's not replacing fiat in our lifetime. It's gonna need a couple generations growing up and living with it for it to be entirely ingrained in our governments' financial systems. Because fiat is easy. It's just a government saying "Here's a coin. I promise it'll be worth the same tomorrow." But eventually crypto will remind us that in fiat-land, we've been forgetting the fact that bakers say "Here's a loaf of bread, it's gonna cost a penny more tomorrow."

Amazing-Brother-1828

nah it’s not like that. all cryptocurrencies have their own cryptography built in. the thing is, the Bitcoin network has very low programmability. because of this, people who wanted to use bitcoin for more than just sending BTC found it too hard. that’s why so many “BTC-something” forks appeared, like Bitcoin Gold, BSV, Bitcoin Cash, and so on. Vitalik, the founder of ETH, was originally a big believer in BTC. he and his dad even ran *Bitcoin Magazine* globally (btw he’s Canadian). but BTC maxis hated the idea of adding more functionality so much that he ended up creating his own chain. the idea was to make something like the “internet” of crypto assets just like all apps and websites run on the internet, Ethereum is a network that lets people build and do more stuff with their crypto assets safely and efficiently. yeah, many altcoins are shitcoins, but some exist for a real reason. for example, we wouldn’t have stablecoins without Ethereum. you couldn’t process transactions at the speed we’re used to in crypto today without it.

cheesomacitis

Just one point of correction. ETH generates a lot more than $1 million per day in revenue According to DefiLlama, as of now: • Chain fees (24h): approximately $6.2 million • Chain revenue (24h): about $4.7 million • App revenue (24h): around $12.7 million  

EarningsPal

Why not buy ETH and never sell? Let it grow and use it as collateral periodically when it’s down 40% off the last high. At that point take a 50% LTV loan and buy more ETH. At any price that’s a new ATH, start to DCA out to clear that loan. Then start to DCA 1% monthly until a drop of 40% off the highs occur. Another strategy is to buy and take an 80% LTV. But more ETH or BTC. Then if the loan liquidates you only lost 20% of your position. Because you hold 80% elsewhere.

ThriceHawk

There is a reason XRP has so many haters, and ETH doesn't (well, 100x fewer). People aren't just hating on XRP with no justification.

Tall_Run_2814

At least ETH is useful. Most of the best projects in crypto were initially built on Ethereum; Chainlink, Aave, Uniswap, and 1,500 other apps. Eth generates over a million dollars a day in actual revenue. XRP is just a tool that can be easily replicated and replaced.

brandonholm

Both are garbage, but if I had to pick one, I’d say ETH is very slightly less garbage. Bitcoin is the one you should focus on.

Brayanscott

LOL, you ask that question knowing the number of haters that XRP has, logically they will tell you that ETH will look good and anyone who says otherwise will get dislikes

CaptainRelevant

If I were gambling new money into crypto right now I’d buy ETH. If there is an alt season this bull run, ETH will run and XRP will run nearly last like they always do. I’d buy the ETH, then start DCA’ing out of ETH into XRP as ETH approaches 2X. Then when XRP runs I’d DCA out into USD and cash out. If there’s no alt season, ETH is a good safe harbor. You’ll get your money back next bull run.

LittleGH

Started with $500 in 2020 and turned it into about $4k over two years just riding ETH and SOL. It’s a rollercoaster, but with patience and a solid guide like your dad, you’re off to a strong start.

There's what, 8 billion people in the world, 2 billion kids estimated under 14 so probably don't count them. I don't think 5 out of every 6 over 14s will hold crypto. Not unless fiat collapses worldwide. Which could happen with current unsustainable and exponentially growing government debt. I mean US just says right..  we don't owe anything to anyone as we're now using ETH. Everything in ETH. Would be chaos. Complete madness. But it would have to be a global collapse and global adoption - across the developing and developed world. Unlikely. Which crypto would Nigeria use? The same as the US? The same as China? It would need to be uniform at least within a country.

I have approximately 500 XRP coins. I have no idea what it will be worth years from now. I wouldn’t bet the farm. But I’m just now getting into crypto. In the past, all I did was shit on investing in crypto - while so many got rich. We have an administration that is very pro crypto. I think I’ll take a chance with a small portion of my money and bet on XRP. But I firmly believe in ETH and have much more invested there.

partymsl

This is quite possibly the WORST analysis I have ever seen. The first indication is just ETH slapped on with the money supply chart which are two completely different things. The second is grade five TA, which even then says its a 50/50. 0/10 ETH hopium.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Ethereum is showing signs of entering a long-term bull phase, closely tracking global liquidity trends. Analysts highlight $4,520 as a key resistance level; a breakout could lead to a rally toward $4,800 or higher. Ethereum's price is compressing within a symmetrical triangle, suggesting an imminent breakout. Historical data indicates September may be weak, but Q4 often sees bullish trends. Macro and technical factors align, signaling potential upward movement for ETH in the near future. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I upvoted all your posts. For some reason on this subreddit, if you mention past cycles and theorize about the future using them, you get downvoted from all the salty "NO MORE CYCLES!! THE PAST DOESN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE!!" It's absolutely absurd considering charts like [these](https://i.imgur.com/589PppJ.jpeg) have repeated over and over and over again, through four different four-year cycles. From that chart, we can predict a dip in September, and a pump in October. 18 months after the last two bitcoin halvings, bitcoin has pumped massively. Bitcoin pumps, then ETH, then altcoins. Apparently, learning from the past triggers downvotes, because everyone on here thinks "cycles are done, history won't repeat, it's over, the government bought too much" or whatever. I wonder, did this happen in the past, where everyone said "no more alt seasons ever again"? I do understand though that we won't be seeing absurd gains across the board like in 2021, because of saturation. Anyway, I predict altcoins will peak sometime in Q1 next year, I'm just not sure if it's in February, March, April, or even May. What do you think? Also, here's the chart I recommend everyone look at, it shows how past cycles repeated, for example the last four year cycles have had a massive October pump after each bitcoin halving -> [https://i.imgur.com/589PppJ.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/589PppJ.jpeg)

There's 900k ETH in staking exit queue to be processed in next 8 days. They'll likely get sold on the market soon.

ETH is sideways for the last 3 days.

binary_quasar

Lmao bro, you're highly-regarded. And you're wrong. The XRPL is a ghost chain that nobody uses and you can see that for yourself. LINK actually accomplished what XRP always claimed they were doing but never could because their tech and tokenomics are literal dogshit. It's very clear to most people that have been in this for years - BTC, ETH, LINK, & maybe SOL are the winners in this space. XRP holders were always just exit liquidity for banks.

ElectroHash

depends. ETH did better and LINK is almost there.

CaptainRelevant

At this moment, ETH because it’s a safe bet even if we get no alt season. If the bull run is over and we’re in a bear market (which I doubt), you’d get your money back and then some next bull run. If we do get an alt season and ETH pops, I’d look to start DCA’ing out of ETH and into XRP once ETH doubles. ETH rises at the beginning of alt season and XRP is usually among the last. Any others may be hot this bull run, but fade to obscurity by the next one. See EOS, MATIC, SKY, LUNA, NANO, and countless others.

tldr; Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $4,400 despite recent market volatility, entering a consolidation phase. Analysts are divided on its next move, with some predicting a retrace below $4,000 and others anticipating a breakout above $5,000. CryptoQuant data shows strong demand as exchange reserves continue to fall, indicating accumulation. Investors are withdrawing ETH for private wallets or DeFi use, reflecting confidence in its long-term potential. Whale activity and institutional interest further support Ethereum's resilience and potential for growth. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Soooo right now I am holding 60k in BTC and 50k in ETH and stand at +100% overall I read the following today within a span of two hours: ETC going 100x BTC going 1.3m  If both materializes I will end up owning the equivalent of USD 50,000,000 in ETH and just frigging peanuts USD 750,000 in BTC? What poor man’s shit is this BTC actually??? I don‘t want to die a poor man - I am going to immediately roll everything over to ETH and retire with USD 100,000,000 Should be enough for me.

Hello, pal. I get why you might think that, but I’m honestly not here to shill anything. I’m still pretty new and honestly not rich at all when it comes to crypto. The only reason I even asked about Maverick Protocol is because I noticed it sitting around $0.07 and I had this simple thought if ETH goes up, maybe some of the projects built on its chain could also rise. For me, it’s not about pumping bags, it’s more like could this small investment be something that helps me out one day, maybe even enough to cover a vacation? That’s really all.

Brave_Raspberryy

Start slow, low and invest in BTC or ETH. Once you're comfortable in using your wallet, you can slowly enter into the DeFi world, I recommend Solana DeFi because of the lower fees. Enjoy and welcome :D

Dizzy-Tap-792

If the SEC approved a staking ETF, it would bring huge institutional money into ETH and make staking safe for traditional investors. But it wouldn’t kill DeFi.. ETFs can’t match DeFi’s flexibility, composability, or higher yields

Mulvita43

I imagine it would be like 2-3 percent yield which will be in USD. Where staking rewards us in ETH

SevereArrivals13

Good question, and it's a doubled bladed sword. You either want free transactions, which makes holding ETH useless, or you want very expensive transactions that make holding ETH too expensive for most people, and they will use cheaper solutions

LogrisTheBard

Just FYI Bitcoin has almost no stablecoins. If you're bullish stablecoins you should be following Tommy Lee on the ETH trade because that's where the majority of stablecoins are (for now at least).

TheDadThatGrills

How so? It is similar to other yield bearing assets, except better since ETH is currently deflationary, with more being burned than created. It's also 99% more energy efficient than PoW.

*From EVA AI team-* Hey r/CryptoCurrency, I’m Cosmo, Co-Founder and Business Lead of EVA AI. EVA is building the security and trading layer for Web3, powered by our proprietary AI. We started 12 months ago with the belief that security in crypto shouldn’t be an afterthought, and we’ve been proving that ever since. Join me for an AMA Sept 1st-3rd right here in this thread, where I’ll be answering your questions on EVA’s products, growth, and what’s next. What I’m excited to talk about 🔶 Instinct: The Ferrari of Sniper Bots Instinct is EVA’s Pectra-native sniper and trading bot. We designed it to execute faster, cheaper, and safer than anything else on the market, and it does. Since launch it’s already processed millions in volume, with traders saving on gas, fees, and avoiding copy-traders thanks to Instinct’s built-in privacy. We’re about to roll it out to Base - and more chains are on the roadmap. 🔶 Tokenomics: Auto Buyback & Burn Every single Instinct transaction auto buybacks and burns $EVA. This creates constant deflation tied directly to real usage. Since our last check just two weeks ago, over 550,000 EVA has been burned, permanently removed from supply. The more Instinct grows, the stronger the deflationary flywheel becomes. 🔶 The EVA API Our API is already live and being used by 50+ integrations across ETH. It’s become a proof of concept that EVA’s AI security can scale across any tool, bot, or platform. With V2, we’re broadening the potential userbase even further and supercharging revenue, while giving partners a way to embed real security directly into their products. 🔶 Intel: Real-Time Protection + Advanced Analytics EVA Intel calls out scams and hidden risks before you get rugged. Our latest updates go further with advanced honeypot detection, smarter contract analysis, and real-time social metrics. On top of that, we’re about to launch APIv2, with 4 new endpoints for advanced analytics, giving users and partners deeper insights into liquidity, holder dynamics, whale activity, and market sentiment. 🔶 The Next Phase: Scaling EVA From Instinct to Intel to the API, everything we’ve built feeds into the same mission: making Web3 safer, faster, and more profitable for real users. Our new website (dropping soon) will tie it all together and tell the story of how each piece of EVA connects into the bigger ecosystem. —————- How to participate: Ask your questions below, anything goes: trading bots, security, revenue model, product roadmap, adoption. I’ll be live and answering questions beginning September 1st. Excited to dive in with you all and share more about how EVA is becoming the default security + trading layer for Web3.

This is for validators, not nodes. For all practical purposes, if a validator owns under $10M ETH, their portion of the stake is so low that their contribution to security barely even matters. It's kind of like how if a miner has under $100M of Bitcoin mining equipment, they really don't matter either. Ethereum's main consensus layer efficiency design flaw is that they tried to be TOO decentralized and have every validator contribute (even if they barely matter) to every 6 minute epoch instead of doing more a randomized selection. This will likely change with the path to Single Slot Finality in the future.

makigarp

Someone math up if vitalik owns around 1 bil in ETH at a 4% APR he's earning 40 mil yearly ish just staking to the network at current ETH price right? PoS is a joke man

devCheckingIn

FWIW, Tom Lee has said that his company has found a way to purchase ETH without affecting the price, and he wouldn't elaborate. Now I can only speculate how that could be -- like maybe they are reaching out to publicly known ETH holders and making private sales deals -- but I guess it's possible that whales could have the same opportunity.

TheDoge420

The fees are what makes ETH valuable and used. High fees means its used a lot and users need to buy more to transact on the networm

devCheckingIn

There is a blurb on TradingView stating that a whale sold 8,000 BTC between Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 and rotated at least a portion of that into ETH, and now holds over $4bn worth of ETH. So that sale probably contributed to weakness over the weekend. Seems like this whale likes to sell over the weekends when volume is low, rather than selling into green candles.

I have no crypto experience and I inherited a lot of grayscale gdlc. What specific aspects of the market should I keep an eye on in case things start tanking? Not interested in investing anything else in the market, I'm just trying to be a good custodian of what my father left me. The funds composition is below, so I'm assuming I should just be keeping my eyes on the main crypto market. What kind of market research are you supposed to do? Just to keep an eye on how well Bitcoin is performing? From what I've seen, it's mostly guessing market sentimentality Bitcoin (BTC): 79.59% Ethereum (ETH): 10.54% XRP (Ripple): 5.86% Solana (SOL): 2.88% Cardano (ADA): 1.13%

Kurosaki56843

I've got alerts set for ETH around $4K and SOL if it dips back under $200. But honestly, I'm also stacking NEXO - not many people talk about it, but it's tied to one of the biggest lending platforms in the space. Survived 2022, now #2 global lender, and the token gives perks like higher yields + lower borrow rates. Feels like smart long-term positioning while everyone else just chases L1s.

Kurosaki56843

If you're only putting in $350 the best move is to keep it simple and think about where the upside actually comes from. BTC and ETH are the safe bets, but if you're looking for something with both utility and growth potential, I'd honestly take a look at Nexo.

There’s to many ETH available on the market for it to 100x. What would be the market cap if that were the case? It would be the biggest asset in the world. Which will never be the case for Ethereum It’s about the market cap

Something's wrong with current ETH PoS system. People used to control the network with PoW but now, since you need a shiton of money to run a solo node, obviously pools would became a popular option and, obviously, due to the need to trust the pool before staking, onmy few pools would be popular, leading to a too large portions of ETH stacked in the same place. Agreed that the lesser the node the lesser energy consumption is needed, faster and cheaper the network is but maybe there is a middle ground to find to avoid pool staking. Lowering to 8 ETH (i think it's 8 eth now ?) to run a node was a good start
