ETH

Bagmasterflash

Wanna truth bomb? Ethereum was born out of Vitaliks spite towards Core developers who refused to allow the programmable side of Bitcoin being expressed. Vitalik made ETH as a proof of concept and was convinced to monetize it only to let it devolve into the mess it is today.

Glittering_Pick_9738

That reminds me that I was buying ETH last year at 1,8k and at 1,4k when bitcoin was higher than today. But it shows that bitcoin is so weak that it got outperformed even by ETH. That's why I would rather buy bitcoin today. ETH is still too expensive.

YogurtCloset3335

lol Vitalik is naive af, he believes digital ID is a good thing. He is running a biometric system for Bhutan on Ethereum chain. The ETH foundation is crawling with intel assets, who are waiting to sabotage privacy and decentralization. That's why so many devs left the foundation.

CreativePhrase9202

I'm having fun with this one. Must confess it is only a small part of my holding. The rest is more normal, BTC, BCH and ETH. BCH seems to be showing a bit more resilience of late.

No_Giraffe_4647

I think you did not pay attention I am not holding SEI looking at it and think of entering mid 2027 for now I already hold BTC ETH mainly and some CC HBAR DOT LINK

OkZucchini5351

Cowen in 2021: "4 year cycles are gone, the current cycle will extend well into late 2022 and my most bearish prediction for ETH in 2022 is $10k' Pretty sure he deleted those as well. Can't believe people still watch this clown let alone pay over $1600 for his membership

piggleii

He still has a ton of free ETH to dump.

PaulieWoz

I'm probably going to get down voted, but check out TRX. If you strictly look at the technicals and the chart over the last 5 years, it outperformed BTC and most other top 20 coins. When everything else drops. TRX stays flat thanks to USDT. I'd say it's a good hedge and holding it along with BTC/ETH might be a good idea. Sprinkle in some silver, gold and a global equity ETF and I think you'd do just fine. :) Now I know how we all feel about these two, but you can't deny it's resilience when everything else dumps. PS. I don't own any TRX but my FIL does and rubs it in my face every time the market dumps. LoL

piggleii

Even Vitalik is FUDding ETH now.

Serenaded

No, generally altcoins will have some type of pump alongside ETH/BTC, but it's unlikely all altcoins will pump again. That being said, SOME altcoins that are #1 in its usecase will have cycles. (These are my picks) 1. Ethereum for Defi. (more established, decentralised and fairly launched than SOL) 2. XMR for privacy. 3. KAS for trilemma. (technological factors on newish projects that haven't had a cycle yet usually drive altcoins the most) 4. DOGE for memecoins (memecoins are dead but DOGE seems to always come back. I hold 0 DOGE but would not bet against it, traders like its predictable inflation) Etc, I mean only the coins that are the king of their usecase will actually have some type of long-term conviction. It seems like a lost cause now but you'll be surprised how fast these projects can 10x under FOMO. Crypto is the future every 4 years, then 3 years in between it's not the future.

Right-Avocado3870

I have never heard anyone serious say alt coins are coming back. It seems like people tried that and found no use for it. Is there a serious argument for an altcoin? ETH has some use cases so it will be with us. But what's the point of the rest?

Numerous_Wonders81

Developers and VCs often fund wash trading and bot activity to manufacture the appearance of "usage" to lure in retail investors. High user counts can be a mirage created by a few entities rotating funds to juice the stats. You claim only BTC and ETH are "Store of Value" (SOV) assets. However, many "utility" tokens function as productive assets. If a network has superior tech (like faster finality or better privacy) but lower current usage, it represents an asymmetric bet. Investing is about predicting future flow, not just staring at current dashboards. If you only follow current "users," you are just following the herd into the most expensive "casino" tables. True gains come from identifying undervalued tech before the masses (and their bots) arrive.

Cynthi_Taylor

I was in the same spot testing volume profile on alts, most firms only give BTC/ETH and that gets boring fast. Crypto Fund Trader worked fine for me for this, decent alt selection and execution felt closer to exchange than CFD.

MakCapital

Or keep buying junk no one uses because you get trick by Reddit comments like this. No one said solely judge, but users are definitely most important metric unless true SOV like BTC and ETH to some degree. People aren't using it, while not being brand new, move on. The majority of all activity of any network & any financial platform people use is always going to be slop and bots. Bots are still humans paying to play. You aren't paying to play on networks with no users. Basic 101 info. Reddit popular opinions will get you killed in this space. Focus on users. Not how many times something gets mentioned here.

NatBitty

Because ETH and all other alts is the easiest short in the investing universe right now.

AmigoDelPastis

It is crashing but don’t worry I just bought 1ETH so it gonna go up! Or no… who know

Medium_Change4574

Imagine BTC collapsing, Saylor taken out adding fuel to the fire, ETH flipping BTC. And all due to Epstein lol

paulchen81

That's correct. I remember being down around 80% with my ETH and BTC in late 2018 or so. Everything came back. So just wait it's time... ...and sell when you make the first screenshot of a new ATH of your portfolio ;)

Kemilio

19% of my investment portfolio is ETH, I’ll bump that up 1% every week until it rebounds

moonRekt

Price action has been bad for ETH, but with all the Epstein BTC ties I want to reallocate more towards ETH. Anyone else?

wow247897

ETH just hit 14 dolla

Usually_Sunny

ETH and fundamentals lol

Kemilio

Lmao y’all a bunch of melodramatics. Im down 26% on my ETH and not breaking a sweat. Take me down 50%. Shit, 75%. I’ll buy more and enjoy the bounce up.

bizaroo933

Careful, you are touching these ETH fanboys button. They will come with bs like ‘an ATH is an ATH! Most coins didnt even do that!’

_TheWolfOfWalmart_

ETH didn't even really make a new ATH this cycle, unless you count that $100 over that lasted for 5 seconds.

bizaroo933

ETH just proving its not much different then shitcoins like Moodeng and Fartcoin

Right_Strength2170

ETH the worst performing coin 6 days in a row.

Vitalik is probably the only reason I'm still balls deep in ETH

oneden

I had an extensive talking point with someone who kept blabbering how ETH is the most wondrous and amazing tech to exist. And ultimately when pressed, their safety net was insisting on how big crypto is on remittance. I never held much respect for crypto people, but this sub has cemented them to me as the most braindead and moronic group of people that have ever existed in humanity's history.

Prestigious_Spot9635

I remember Raoul giving insane ETH predictions that never played out.

iamthecheesethatsbig

ETH has fundamentals??

F0rtysxity

I like Tom Lee’s optimism. But saying ETH has fundamentals is lala land. What are the fundamentals of Gold Bitcoin ETH SHIB etc other than th last price they sold at?

oopssomething

Shorting ETH is most profitable strategy again

Sudden-Cat7170

Sold my ETH position mid August at $4600 for a short term gain of about $4.5M+. So glad to be out of this market

F0rtysxity

Shifted all crypto into Bitcoin. Including ETH.

biba8163

You know 🤡Tom Lee🤡 is full of shit when he says that a double speculative asset that historically has a 0.96 correlation coefficient to BTC (which itself is a speculative asset) only appreciating when BTC goes on bullruns has fundamentals. - Summer 2017, ETH hits ATH of $400 after BTC hits local top of $3,000 - January 2018, ETH hits ATH of $1,400 after BTC hits cycle top of $20K - May 2021, ETH hits ATH after BTC tops out in April 2021 - Nov 2021. ETH hits ATH in December after BTC tops out in November 2021 - August 2025. ETH briefly touches past 2021 ATH after BTC breaks $120K **Price-to-Sales (P/S), a Fundamental Valuation Metric** If you look at ETH in any fundamental valuation metric it is MASSIVELY overvalued. For instance, looking at ETH fee revenue, ETH has a a P/S of 2,200 even with the recent drop. | Network | Daily Fee Revenue | Marketcap. | P/S |:-----------:|:------------:|:------------:|:------------:| | ETH | ~$350K | $280 Billion | ~2,200X Compare that to tech companies which generally have a very high P/S, **ETH's value in any fundamental metric is comical.** - QQQ heavily weighted towards tech companies currently has P/S ratio (marketcap/revenue) of approximately 6.16 and is considered overvalued because it's much higher than it's historical average. - NVDIA has a P/S of 23 because it's priced as a hyper growth tech stock whose revenue has gone from ~$10 Billion in 2020 to $130 Billion today and continues to grow. - PLTR has a has a P/S of 130X is considered MASSIVELY OVERVLAUED - ETH has a P/S of ~2,200X 🤡 **Transactions Fees Collected by Ethereum Mainnet is down -97% since 2021** Fundamentally broken... https://www.theblock.co/data/on-chain-metrics/ethereum/ethereum-miner-revenue-daily **Cheap L2s have taken a massive percentage of the transactions from ETH Mainet** Fundamentally broken... | Chain | 1-day Transaction count |:-----------|------------:| | Base Chain | 12.2M | Polygon PoS | 6.6M | Arbitrum One | 4.11M | Ethereum Mainnet | 2.31M https://www.growthepie.com/fundamentals/transaction-count **Settlement fees paid by L2s to Ethereum mainnet has dropped -99% over one year** Fundamentally broken... | Date | Cost of Revenue (Mostly Blob Fees) | |:-----------|------------:| | Jan. 2025 | $1.6 Million | Jan. 2026 | $14.6K https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/projects/base/financial-statement

idk man the $2165 level does feel sticky. liquidation events like this usually mark bottoms historically. been watching sei too actually feels like one of those alts that could run when ETH gets going. might be wrong tho but the on chain data is looking clean

LongBeachJohn

My crypto holdings are: 70 % BTC and 30 % ETH. Crypto allocation of my investment portfolio is 11.9 %, as of today. The rest (88.1 %) is invested in stocks and mutual funds. I'm very dissappointed how poorly crypto has done inthe past 13 months. I'm making good money on the stock market, though. No complaints about my stock picking abilities.

FederalOrder2822

Hbar, AMP, ADA, ETH.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat, dismissed concerns over Ethereum's (ETH) recent price drop, attributing it to non-fundamental factors like reduced leverage and gold's rally. Despite a 26% decline in ETH's price over the past month, Lee highlighted strong network fundamentals, including record-high daily transactions and active addresses. Ethereum treasury firm BitMine continued to accumulate ETH during the pullback, with no pressure to sell due to its debt-free structure and staking rewards. Lee views the current price levels as attractive for long-term value. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

TheWatchers666

Invest longterm...BTC, SOL and ETH Spare cash and "play" money as I call it...always study up on tokenomics, projects, partners and applications of the tech. Take the SUI blockchain for an example and have a read up on what's partnered up with it. It's one I personally did ok last year (Jan actually) from 0.53 - 5.00 when I took profit. But it's mainly about the study and once it doesn't have a cat face on it lol 😅

riseandride69

Only alts that survived multiple blood baths and have some utility. For me its just link for 10% portfolio. The rest is BTC and ETH( vast majority is BTC)

NatBitty

ETH is clearly dying too

12161986

I putz'd around with that on Coinbase as part of their wallet thing. What a pain in the ass any of that was. I was just doing it for the wallet and the free crypto (if I recall Correctly) and then I got $15 stuck on the OP L2 and for whatever reason I could not figure out how to get it back to L1. It took awhile before I figured it out and then I think I needed more ETH than I had in order for it to be able to be sent back to L1. It was a pain in the butt and I eventually got it figured out but yeah... fuck OP, and Fuck Coinbase Wallet Base One or whatever it's called.

namieorange

WTH is ETH doing?

One-Eyed-WiIIy

And he instilled those properties into ETH. Idc what anyone says, Ethereums story is incredible... and I honestly don't want to live in a world where it doesnt succeed. The people behind it and their commitment to credible neutrality and security without sacrifice is beautiful. If used correctly it could answer so many of the world problems.

_millenialcrisis

I don't think "dying" would be the right word - it just stopped being fun for casual gamblers. 2021 pulled in a lot of projects and money very quickly, and many of those altcoins were priced on expectations rather than real use. So it makes sense that some are now below their 2022 levels. 2024 did bring attention back with ETFs and new products, but it didn’t automatically lift every token. But BTC and ETH are still around, institutions are playing fair, and regulations are tightening. Right now it feels like the market is sorting out what actually has users and what doesn’t - which is fair I guess, given the market condition and the crypto boom over the years. Hard to say where this goes next, but it feels like a quieter phase where long-term trends matter more than short-term hype.

Puzzleheaded_War7273

I felt this exact way when I started. I went down the YT rabbit hole and every video sounded confident… but said something different. After a while, I realised most of my confusion came from trying to invest before knowing the basics well. Here's what you can do (maybe): * Start with the basics - learn what Bitcoin and Ethereum actually do, the underlying tech, how they behave, not just price targets. * Ignore the hype or “100x” talk. In the beginning, I'd suggest just focusing on how blockchains, wallets, and exchanges work, instead of following the market sentiment or making any rash decisions. * Pick 2 to 3 coins to study: BTC and ETH are gtg at first, since they're the OGs. * Always study the risks well - that's equally crucial as focusing on making profits. * Follow renowned web3 thought leaders or top crypto influencers who can guide you in the right direction. I've watched some videos of CZ, Nikita Sachdev, Evan Luthra, and even Balaji - these guys seem legit. Once you know these things, you'll be confident enough to navigate crypto markets and understand the trading terms.

jawni

Majors: SOL, HYPE Mid Caps: ENA, PUMP Small Caps: AVICI, CARDS All of these projects have been fairly successful and are at good prices. Pretty much what I'm holding now if you add ETH.

MakCapital

Would be a tard to buy L1s people don't use and make no money. Seriously, just open Defilama and look at activity & fees lol. Not hard. SOL & HYPE have issuing and trading cornered. BTC & ETH lead as SOV. All this crap no one uses like Algo, Cardano, XRP, Hbar... pointless. Being manipulated by drowning bag holders running many accounts. Users or out of discussion.

It's also good and works great, but it contains fewer chains. For example, there is no Tron, and you can't find an exchange for native BTC to native ETH. I use DeFiLama to search within DEX for the ETH network.

robyer

There is QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) blockchain which is built on the NIST standardized post-quantum cryptography since their launch in 2018. Externally audited, open source, decentralized and starting to gain popularity this last year. Also there is big upgrade coming this year that will bring smart contracts and proof of stake consensus. I recommend looking into it. They basically solved the problem 8 years ago, so there is no risk for QRL. And it's important to be quantum resistant since the first block, because all the other projects (like BTC, ETH,...) will have huge problems with migration of the current vulnerable coins/tokens/smart contracts/... as that requires manual action from every single user. If Q-day happens before 2030 (some estimations point even to year 2028) then I don't think there is any chance for existing chains to fully upgrade AND migrate their coins to be quantum safe.

Gius3p

Where can I see it? I'm really curious about the ETH one.

Gius3p

But sorry, given where we are, I think 99% of BTC or ETH holders are now at a loss... BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE FUCK WE KEEP GOING DOWN!?

Kitchen_Collar_4527

this is pretty well explained. the capital efficiency argument makes sense when you look at it from the cost perspective - no need to bootstrap new validator sets from zero. but i'm still not convinced about the slashing risks. like sure, you can limit how much one batch of staked ETH can secure, but if there's some systemic issue with ethereum validators or the restaking protocol itself, all those services could get hit at same time. the correlation risk feels higher than what most people are pricing in the market right now. the examples you gave are interesting tho. celo saving $6.5M annually is no joke, that's real money for a protocol.

Solana is so much better than ETH it's not even close. All the good projects are on Solana

So ETH is done this cycle....topped at $5K.....two months ahead of BTC....right at its 2021 highs. That's what you guys think? ETH ain't done yet, not by a fcking long shot. On your left

btc.d is 60%. Reminder to myself for next cycle: Do not hold ETH. use it as gas.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

ETH was 50 cents in 2015, and just about $5k a fee months ago. BTC was 6 cents in 2010, and went up to $126k. Way more crazy than gold. The dollar is a shitcoin.

tldr; BitMine has incurred an unrealized loss of $6.6 billion on its Ethereum holdings, ranking it among the largest trading losses in history. The company purchased 4.3 million ETH at prices between $3,800 and $3,900, but ETH now trades near $2,300. BitMine, which shifted from Bitcoin mining to becoming an Ethereum treasury firm, aims to own 5% of Ethereum's supply. Despite backing from major investors like Ark Invest and Founders Fund, the firm faces significant challenges as Ethereum prices remain low, though it has not used leverage for its purchases. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Personally, I think ETH has the second spot unassailably in the bag. Some other coin sure can pump and dump but won't actually come anywhere near eth as far as real significance is concerned.

Medium_Change4574

What a pathetic bounce even though stocks are up today. A single fucking percent. ETH even down.

AhSparaGus

A massive % of the entire crypto ecosystem runs on ETH. ETH killers have come and gone but its still running. ETH is the tracks that all the other trains run on

GrailThe

After a lot of research, (I will be pummeled here because its unpopular) I believe Hedera is destined to be one of the winners, for a variety of reasons. It is not a blockchain, it uses a DAG hashgraph architecture that avoids many of the problems of blockchains (congestion, variable gas fees, front running, high energy use) . It has security (ABFT), proven velocity(10K TPS), speed (<3 sec finality), fixed, low cost (.0001 / transaction), proven scale (71B completed transactions (no including voting as SOL claims), very low energy usage (\~0.000017 kWh per transaction), it is EVM compatible to connect with ETH DeFi, ISO 20022 certified for financial use cases including RWA tokenization, a governing council of 39 global enterprises including Google, Boeing, Dell, Mondelez, LG, IBM, etc.). Hedera has never really played the press release pump game of other cryptos and it is not well known or liked in the retail crypto gambling space. Its current market cap is a tiny fraction of SOL or ADA. In my opinion, it's the "AMZN" of the crypto world in 10 years.

Longjumping_Lab_4515

I entered this market in early 2020 and exited at the end of 2024 , i realized my other investments are steadily growing in these past years (e. g. US stock market and gold) while my crypto investment in BTC and ETH just go up and down wasting my time and health waiting for it to go to the moon 🚀😬.. I left when ETH hit 4,200 and never looked back

TuxRuffian

> With anything really. Gonna have to disagree here. For BTC HODLing is all I do, but w/allot of the smallcaps, I don't HODLing is always the best move. I agree that checking balances too often is more likely to hurt then help, but you can manage risk w/o constant interaction. For smallcaps or MCs that I don't intend on HODLing, I utilize margins with predifined SLs, TPs, TSs, etc. via OTOs _(Buy when prices hits X and sell when it reaches your TP or drops to your SL)_ and trailing stops so I can set it and forget it. It stops your emotions at any given point in time from clouding judgement and you can always edit open orders if you want. Just apply good old fasion Risk MGMT. BTC and other large caps are a different story though. They stay in my Trezor. I seperate the SOL and ETH that I HODL there as well and never mix it w/the SOL/ETH I use for token swaps, etc. TL;DR: HODLings great for some things, but not others IMHO. There is no one universal rule that is best.

BacchusAndHamsa

I only see news where they "planned to accept" by now, but never that they did it. Some of JP Morgan's "analysts" were the "to the moon by end of 2025" hype mongers, well instead BTC and ETH are in the crapper. Maybe they won't do it. Maybe some analysts are updating their resume....

LambertIsMyName

Yes, but still down ~7% overall with coins like ETH down 14.

1990sshin

Yeh I somewhat agree but don't forget there are so many chains ETH is competing with now. ETH is the first chain so you can't dismiss it as any other chain. They will catch up, they may be like dinosaurs but they are getting things done over time.

mrjune2040

"Having to explain to users why they need to hold a special gas token has held back Ethereum years. Imagine your bank telling you "sorry Bob, you cannot transact, you need $Santander tokens first"? Lunacy." - I'm not really sure about this and/or the point that you're trying to make here, because every transaction that I make with one of my various banks internationally use the local fiat currency as a fee basis. So literally, if I go to my bank and say 'hi, I want to buy a currency, stock, make a transfer/withdrawal' then I always pay in the base currency. That's really no different to how ETH functions in terms of the broader assets available via the protocol.

iMakeUrGrannyCheat69

ETH is half shitcoin sadly. It barely made it to its all time high from the last bullrun we had if i remember correctly.

Party-Brief3166

I agree with your take, however there's always a point in the cycle where people say nothing will ever go up again except BTC, yet again most of them end up being wrong. I remember last cycle BTC 20k, ETH 1.2k and sol 15$, some normies I know were grave dancing and saying that crypto would NEVER go up again, that was the bottom. I'm fully into altcoins since 2020, did I take profits? Not as much as I should've taken but I'm here for the long haul and I'm not fucking leaving until I experience another alt season during expansive monetary policy. I took a lot of risks and looks like I kept taking them since I did not take a decent amount out of the table, idgaf I either make It or get rekt until I die.

hoppeeness

Agreed. Anything with actual use cases and only the leaders in those areas. Sad for AVAX and such as SOL and ETH are the chosen winners. There are others like HBAR or maybe XLM that are being accepted by major industries and don’t compete directly with SOL or ETH.

Relative to other altcoins, Cardano is easily one of the biggest alt communities here, or at least it's been that way from 2017 to recently. I've noticed it drop off a bit in the last year or so, but it's pretty obvious that there is a pro-Cardano bias in this sub compared to other alts. It's the only altcoin that ever has posts about minor protocol upgrades or really just any largely inconsequential shit that still gets upvoted. Any other alt coin, even with major news, will rarely get upvoted and rarely have positive comments. If you're ranking the bias of altcoins from positive to negative in this sub it goes: ETH, then ADA, then a big gap, then ALGO/DOT, then ICP/HBAR, and then you have a massive gap and it's SOL being mostly hated, then another massive gap and it's the purely hated projects like BSC, XRP, TRX, etc.

Gold hedges, crypto swings pay. Rebalance: 70% BTC/ETH, dump illiquid alts like yours. Liquidity traps kill exits. $20k last month on vol plays.

convert to ETH for at least 3-5x. your 30k with bitcoin max reach 2x

I would like to see BTC and ETH up 30 %. That's something that hasn't happened for some time now. It seems like crypto only goes down.

Honestly, BTC at 5-10 years, you're probably fine. I'd personally split future buys between BTC and some other solid stuff like SOL, or SEI, even ETH, for more upside potential, but that's just me

SenorGreenGo

Weeding out the loser coins down to just a few for their new World Order Currency. Now which ones will they choose? BTC, ETH, or WLFI?

Technically you are right, but i am kinda sure they dont even have half of the impact that DCAing on spot would have. Why? Because lets say I offer you 100 eth for 200000$, we accept on the deal, but the price doesnt really reflect that why? Because I got the ETH by making a third party deal by Y Exchange, that they will give me 10% cuts from all OTC deals. So technically he is removing bitcoin from circulation, but still thep rice doesnt increase. It only helps because the supply is tightnening but in really supply shock is a myth that will most likely truly never really happen, because people hold their crypto in exchanges, as long as people do that exchanges can do shady stuff, and suppress prices heavily. Even tho they say they dont do that ofc whjy would they publicily admit it, but most of them is doing that, because there is no way a human with iq of 90 thinks btc is at 70k with ETFs + saylor aping billions every month. But BTC can freely pump insane numbers in just couple of days few years ago without ETFs and without company treasures.. Just take 5 mins and think about why.

At some point in the first half of this year there will be a day that is just absolutely brutal. If you’re in the market you’ll feel overwhelmingly cheated to the point you want to cry. If you’re not in the market you’ll grit your teeth and clench your asshole and thank your lucky stars that you got out. You’ll see a few posts with titles like “I lost everything.” When that happens, get on tradingview and check the volume. If it’s the biggest red candle in crypto history (in volume not price) or comparable to other record setting days, that’s when you start to buy in. Congrats, you’ve just bought the bottom. Don’t go all in though as there will be another brutal sell off in like September time. You’ll be wondering when you’re gonna catch a break. People on Reddit will be making convincing arguments that crypto is a sucker’s game and if you’d have just invested in gold or the S&P you’d be up X%. This is when you really start to buy in with conviction. Hold for a long time and stay responsible with your finances. Never go all in. When Bitcoin gets back into the 90s and people stop bearposting constantly, sell 20% of your bag. Take profits in tranches as price goes up. Don’t take it for granted that we will breach the previous ATH of $126k. Don’t touch any alts except ETH, and even then with great care. Congrats, you’ve now got a deposit for a house.

Big Mistake. Huge Mistake. /r/cryptocurrency has been fertile shilling grounds for ETH Maxis to bamboozle noobs with Triple Halving, Supply Crunch, Ultra Sound Money, DeFi, RWA bullshit narratives that have resulted in nothing but losses. > The Ethereum triple halving and why **ETH will easily overtake BTC in marketcap** https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/p5m9eq/the_ethereum_triple_halving_and_why_eth_will/ > You've probably seen many E**TH price predictions usually ranging from $10,000 to $20,000...but it would thus be erroneous** to use BTC price predictions and apply them to ETH as it is almost always done with ETH price predictions. EIP-1559 and PoS will account for a reduction in ~90% in sell pressure due to the deflationary tokenomics and huge monetary incentive to stake ETH which in turn gives more illiquidity, implies the price of **ETH could reach up to $150,000** in a best case scenario. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pen9od/the_ethereum_triple_halving_part_2/ > Let's clear up the facts around EIP-1559, the **merge/triple halving and ЕТН becoming a deflationary asset**...For over a decade now the crypto market cycles have revolved around the Bitcoin halvings when the supply of new coins going to miners halves.

XMR will be 5k sooner than ETH

BanjoMochi

Mainly ETH and still losing 90%. I think gaming just gone this cycle. Maybe gaming is just another 1 cycle narrative.

Previous_Valuable873

No wonder, XMR will be 5000 sooner than ETH.

sirdopa

Okay, whatever you say. But if you think, that stocks are like bingo, while thinking that BTC or ETH aren't, then you sir are a degenerate gambler. And very uninformed one.

Post is by: Numerous-Log-2670 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qtu0ij/low_cap_beware/ Hello crypto hustlers, I have been doing spot crypto trading for the past 2 years. I was trading low-cap tokens, but over the last year I realized that most low-cap tokens are total scams. They all follow the same pattern: after a 20–30% upward move, they drop 50–80%. Because of this, I lost a lot of my hard-earned money. Now I’ve decided to start my journey with blue-chip cryptocurrencies like ETH. Even if the profit is lower, it will be more consistent. So, if you’re interested in connecting and starting this journey together in spot trading, it would be great. My personal trading choice is to avoid crypto noise, so if you follow dozens of free or paid crypto gurus, please don’t connect. However, if you follow trading mentors for learning and discipline, like Mark Douglas, then it would be great to connect. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
