ETH

Ambitious-Gene-6557

BTC and ETH for the long term. But I think ecosystems like Solana still have huge growth potential because of the speed and developer activity.

Remarkable-Grape-218

Currently holding BTC and ETH, they remain the blue chips. For potential alts, I like Solana for its ecosystem growth and Celestia for data availability. But nothing will replace BTC as the reserve asset. The network effect is too strong.

Hedera is aBFT, no front running unlike Ethereum where you hear horror stories with people losing thousands on swaps, FedEx is building things on the network so I’m not talking out of my assthis subreddit dislikes anything that isn’t BTC or ETH

I’m seeing the biggest blame on Tarrifs, people are going to safer options now. It’s not looking good at least for Trumps turn. Also notice how the meme ones are taking, those I would never invest. I think ETH, Solano, BitCoin and the bigger ones could come around as they have in the past. It may just take another few years. Although it all speculation now. We need more cashflow, Tarrifs gone and insurance rates to drop. Until then I’m in the same place I was 2 years ago. But it did come back up big time! I only held due to the excitement Trump was going to deregulate. It was at it highest around Covid times then tanked towards the end of Trumps last term as well.

Aapkaapna7

ETH and SOL as first buys is actually a solid start.

defeater33

Only invest ETH and or BTC. Use spot trading only Do Not Use Derivatives( futures, perpetuals and alike) Use candle stick charts especially long term ones( monthly, weekly, daily). Patienly by at low area of the chart and sell near ATH or high area. Remember it's not race to see makes the most.

BritishBully

Everyone here keeps talking about lower spread on CDC Exchange vs their app, but that doesn't account for the CDC's terribly elevated withdrawal fees. eg. they charge 0.005 ETH for withdrawal, about 9.50, whereas Coinbase just charges whatever the network fee is, eg. 1-5.00 for ETH depending on the gas fees at the time. CDC withdrawal fee for BTC is 0.0004 BTC, so 26.80 right now, which is outrageous.

haraldone

This doesn’t happen on other sites, and there shouldn’t be a spread when transferring ETH from one wallet to another. Thanks for your useless comment.

Getting into ETH before DeFi summer was perfect timing.

defeater33

Futures is second only to options in Redditors blowing accounts. Start easier. Stock index, very solid companies, ETH and or BTC buying.

By mistake I sent my ETH to a wrong address, how do I revert it? I needed help and got a DM and realized it wasn't my address. Thanks.

llindstad

Thing is, I'm not sure I can at this point with 8,5 ETH. Looks like I need 32 to stake on my own.

0xZennite

ETH back in 2020 right before the DeFi summer explosion. Still holding a chunk of it but honestly most of my gains came from being early to smaller L1s and L2s after that. The first buy teaches you more about conviction and patience than any amount of research does.

MidmanHQ

Check out Midman (midman.io) — it's a smart contract escrow that supports ETH, BSC, Tron and Solana. Funds are locked in the contract until both sides deliver, so neither party has to send first. It also has built-in dispute resolution if anything goes wrong.

Otherwise-4PM

ETH, and I got rid of it in 2022. Went all BTC and never looked back.

Sos418_tw

for €1200 medium risk i'd probably go 40% ETH / 35% SOL / 20% BTC / 5% stable just in case things dip hard. keeps you exposed to the majors without yoloing into one thing. check out coingecko's portfolio tracker to simulate different splits before committing real money, helped me a ton when i started with similar budget last year. also investopedia has a decent breakdown on crypto allocation strategies if you want the theory side.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

Gotglo

Hbar is a good play yes but you’re better off at least taking 50 or 100k and redistributing it into ETH, SOL, SUI, LINK or RENDER. You aint losing no sleep with 300k still sitting in HBAR. You can compound it back into HBAR after you take profits🤔

Wake up again in 4 years, ETH will be at $480 if very lucky.

Brickscratcher

I've been invested in ETH since 2017, and still am today. It's because of my experience that I am aware of how the industry functions and am not some diehard hopeful. It will go up, long term. But the amount of deceptive marketing, rug pulls, and scams is insane. If we're just offering a handful of reputable and more stable crypto, sure–but that wont be the case. You and I both know that. For being so "anti-institution" you sure seem not to understand the institutional capture that is happening with crypto. This fiasco is just one example of exactly that.

sportsmodelceo

Can you describe these technologies? Sorry, crypto’s a bit complex and evolving. My idea is to allow users to not have to buy ANY amount of ETH and lose money in buying and transferring to the wallet in order to send a token under the chain.

BuildWithJohnny

If I were building a $1.2k portfolio with a medium risk to reward ratio I'd split it like this. ​50% in Large Caps (BTC/ETH): This is your foundation. It's the 'safest' bet in a volatile market. ​30% in Established Altcoins. Look for projects with actual utility and a proven track record. ​20% in Early Stage Gems: This is for your 'moonshots.' Since you have time, look for projects building actual infrastructure or tools that solve real problems. ​Also, I strongly agree with the advice already given STAY AWAY from leverage. It’s the fastest way to turn $1,200 into $0. Focus on holding and patience rather than quick trades.

sportsmodelceo

New dev here, how useful would a “gas station relayer” platform be. So if a user has tokens for a chain which they don’t have the native crypto for to pay gas fees, they can save with my platform. Basically, users are credited by depositing low-fee cryptos such as nano, XRP, or Solana. And their token can be transferred to the said wallet address via chains such as ETH, BNS, TRON with a contract where my application pays the fee so user doesn’t have to buy and transfer to the wallet for gas. Looking for any feedback, sorry for long message.

Metroid_Addict

I remember buying a whole coin at $2100 and then watching it dip to $1600 a few days later. For better and for worse, ETH hasn't been the same ever since they switched it to POS.

Binance long/short ratio on ETH is 2.34 — retail is heavily long. But whale wallets are the other way around, roughly 2:1 short by dollar size. Funding rate is negative (-0.003%), so shorts are getting paid to hold. Fear & Greed at 12, stuck there all week. ETH sitting at $1,965. SOL is different — whales and retail both agree, both around 2.5:1 long. So this isn't a broad market thing, it's ETH-specific. Last few times whale and retail positioning diverged like this on ETH, the whales ended up being right. Small sample though. I check this stuff on [swarmintellect.com](http://swarmintellect.com) — shows whale vs retail positioning, funding rates, sentiment, all in one place. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Yes…but staking with the shadiest website of all time. All of the ETH is gone.

Old-Tip-8013

Please do your research. Yes, you can transact with ETH to transfer funds, interact with smart contracts, and purchase items. Transactions require a "gas fee" paid in ETH. You can also use USDC to transact on multiple blockchains, including global payments, remittances and DeFi which we need much more of over the trust of ponzi banks and governments. Please get out of the Stone Age with this nonsense.

Brickscratcher

>Without an alternative currency like ETH and other blockchain currencies Id struggle to define any crypto as a currency when you cant use them to transact, which is the primary use of a currency. Right now, they are highly speculative assets that no teenager is going to fully grasp. They are comparably liquid to a stock investing account, with much larger drawback, and are not suitable for a primary investment unless you are highly speculative and actively watch the market–which doesnt describe the audience here. Now, if the app simply *offers* crypto but does also offer stock investments through custodial accounts and education services, id say it could be decent. But from what we know now, it seems like the idea is liquidity not empowering the youth.

Just my 2 cents. I believe this may actually be a good move for him and gen A&Z. The almighty US currency is and has been a ponzi for 20 years and losing ground as the reserve currency of the world. The next generations need hope, better privacy and decentralized finance now more than ever. Without an alternative currency like ETH and other blockchain currencies they will likely fall further behind than M&X. The boomers already took everything else.

Stay consistent and don't panic sell on red days What i'm doing is DCA a fixed amount weekly and forget the daily swings.

Starting with the major assets like BTC and ETH is usually a good approach. They tend to be less volatile than most altcoins and give a better understanding of market cycles.

defeater33

I checked the monthly weekly candle stick chart and it looks like it's near the bottom. Daily candle stick showd possible rally, which be permanent. 6 months is exactly how long bear market been going, so it is biased ETH has a even more bullish looking chartd. ETH and BTC tend to be bullish at same time even if percentages are different.

epic_trader

Is Vitalik not allowed to sell his ETH? You know what he usually does with the money he makes from selling ETH? He gives it away to charity and research and pay for development. Seems like a pretty good cause to me.

MaximumStudent1839

> Bitcoin was born to smash banks, remember that? If you look at the data, this part of BTC has long since died, way before BlackRock launched the ETF. [https://www.theblock.co/data/on-chain-metrics/bitcoin](https://www.theblock.co/data/on-chain-metrics/bitcoin) 1. The number of new addresses has been declining since the 2017 peak. 2. Its number of active addresses has been declining since the 2021 peak. When Larry Fink described BTC as an asset of fear, I still don't understand what he means. Most of its buyer base treats it as a speculative commodity, aka "digital gold", with the sole purpose of hodling as a SoV asset and appreciating over time. Self-custody and cypherpunk aren't really real in BTC, when the default answer to its scaling problem is custodial Lightning. I like Monero because its community really stands up for what they believe - not privacy tourists larping to do quick PnDs with KOL farms. That said, you probably won't get the modern BTC crowd with Monero because Monero's true cypherpunk ethos makes it hard to attract the level of institutional liquidity that pumps BTC, which is what the modern crowd is going after. As long as Vitalik sticks to scaling L1, Ethereum is probably a closer successor to BTC and aligns with cypherpunk values. Now, there is still a question of how centralized block builders will be in the end state of ETH ZKEVM - it is probably one of my main reasons to still pay attention to some new alts.

Justin Sun is literally defending ETH from institutional shorters with a buy wall at $1,900. Pretty ironic given that most ETH fans are likely also Justin Sun haters. Not me, though. Not a fan of either ETH or Sun.

Capital_Advice9250

BTC and ETH as the base, then a smaller position in SOL given how much ecosystem activity is still running there despite the recent dip. Keep some cash on the side too, no need to go all in at once.

Sea_Procedure_3471

I’m spread between SOL, ETH, XRP.  I suppose I’m 65%, 30%, 5% with my holdings and I’ve been adding when I can under my cost basis, I try to have some buying power for deeper dips in the current market. I have FETH, and FSOL in my Roth. Staking rewards are offered for FSOL with FETH in the works. If XRP ETF is ever offered through my brokerage, I’ll be buying that as well. 

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

I agree with 100% of what you said, the nakamoto consensus shouldn't even be considered an option. I also consider scaling to be as important as decentralisation. If a project can't scale like Bitcoin, ETH or XMR... It is doomed to require a separate institution to handle large demand. There is only one project that to my eyes respects 100% of the cypherpunk value to remove the need for third parties. Kaspa. I invite you to study it, Kaspa is still a work in progress but it can already handle 158M real life transactions in 24h without any signs of overloading. The scalability is pictured to increase by 10x that in the coming year... All this while respecting the Nakamoto consensus, with affordable fees, with sub 1 second transactions, staying 100% decentralized and including real programmability.

Invest only in ETH and or BTC. No more than 5% in anything else. No meme coins( doge coin is the exception). Both ETH and BTC are at lows so you can e hodle. Sell at ATH or highs are both good strategies.

magus-21

> Does this suggest that it is more likely a bot stole my eth rather someone I know? Anyone can send you ETH. Normally you'd see those transactions on an L2 where transaction costs are trivially cheap. I got hundreds of transactions sending me "dust" all the time. So no, it doesn't necessarily indicate a bot stole from you.

Post is by: hduynam99 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/HodlyCrypto/comments/1rmomcl/this_is_the_second_bear_market_that_bitcoin_has/ n history, Bitcoin reached its ATH in November 2017 at a price slightly under 20k. During the next bear cycle in 2022, Bitcoin stayed below 20k for 30 weeks (210 days), from June until January 2023. During those 30 weeks, Bitcoin dominance dropped from 48% to 38% - about a 20% drop - in the first 13 weeks from June to September 2022, then consolidated for the remaining 17 weeks. Bitcoin hit its ATH again in November 2021 at 69k. In this current bear cycle in 2026, we're now staying under 69k for 4 weeks since February. If we use the same historical scale, we still have 26 more weeks until September. As for Bitcoin dominance, it has already dropped 2.75% since February. If it drops another 20% over the next 9 weeks, that would put Bitcoin dominance at 48%, which is surprisingly exactly the dominance top from June 2022. Bitcoin's dropping dominance doesn’t mean altcoins go up. It could mean Bitcoin drops while alts hold stronger, Bitcoin holds while alts do a little green, or in the best case, Bitcoin rises and altcoins go mad. I don’t see the best case playing out in the next 26 weeks yet, but I do see this as a good time to accumulate some ETH. Not financial advice. Also, Bitcoin is the oldest since 2009, and ETH is just from 2014. Surprisingly again, 2014 also had the Russia-Ukraine war and Gaza war, which had critical involvement from Iran to Hamas in the conflict with Israel. Anyway, buy more when it's low. Compound faster through every cycle. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

You'll want to build a strong portfolio of stocks that will make you money over time, basically a long-term investment. Something secure, especially at your age. You'll want the majority of your portfolio to be secure assets that slowly ink up over time and are inflation/volatility resistant. Once that's out of the way, you can start picking specific stocks, low/medium/high risk. But I'll tell you now, even though BTC/ETH are the most secure crypto assets, they are still extremely high risk. Crypto should be a small percentage of your investments for how unreliable they are for making money. 

andys811

learn DCA first of all, DCA a part fo your paycheck or whatever each week or month. I'd recommend starting by building a basis, DCA into S&P500, or Nasdaq or FTSE All world, some Gold or/and Silver and some BTC or/and ETH. Once you've built a basis you can start venturing out further into other positions but still adding to the foundation

bikotrading

Honestly you're in a good position because you're starting early and asking questions before throwing a lot of money into the market. A few things I wish someone told me when I first started. First, don’t rush. At 18 the biggest advantage you have is time, not speed. Most people lose money early because they try to get rich quickly instead of learning how markets actually work. Second, keep it simple in the beginning. A lot of beginners try to trade everything — crypto, stocks, options, futures — and it just becomes overwhelming. Pick one or two things and learn them well. If you're thinking long term, BTC and ETH are usually where many people start in crypto because they're the most established. With stocks it's similar - large companies and ETFs are often easier to understand than trying to pick the next hype stock. Another big thing is risk management. Never put money into the market that you can't afford to lose. Markets can be brutal, especially crypto. And honestly, before putting serious money in, spend some time just learning how markets move, how risk works, and how emotions affect decisions. Most mistakes beginners make are psychological, not technical. One last thing: ignore most of the “get rich quick” stuff you see online. The people who last in markets usually think in years, not weeks. Out of curiosity - are you more interested in **long-term investing**, or are you trying to learn **trading**?

BuildWithJohnny

Happy 18th! Smart move starting early. Here's simple advice 1. Start with the basics. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are your safest bets. They're like the blue chip stocks of crypto. 2. Stocks vs Crypto.You can do both! Lockheed Martin is a solid stock. Consider a 70/30 split 70% in stocks/ETFs, 30% in crypto (mostly BTC/ETH). 3. How to start. For stocks. Open an account with Vanguard/Fidelity/Schwab For crypto. Coinbase or Kraken (easy for beginners) 4. Golden rules. Only invest what you can afford to lose Dollar cost average (buy small amounts regularly) Never invest based on hype Learn about self custody (hardware wallet) when you have more You are already ahead by asking questions. Keep learning.

In theory, but in reality there is a huge difference between coins that are publicly backed by big players like BlackRock, BTC and ETH, and coins that are not... The difference is that the probability for it to happen to BTC most of all, and ETH second, is alot lower than for other tokens. Especially the younger the token is the more likely it is to totally crash...

Imaginary-Box8650

I don't think you need to overthink this. The important thing is to validate your idea. If you believe in the idea, start working on it, and as you progress, you'll see that things will fall into place. I also developed a portfolio context application, and when I started, I only had an idea, nothing else. My app provides meaning to the user by tracking the changes and wallet activity of ERC-20 tokens on the ETH chain. I didn't want to just reflect the existing data like other apps, and his idea is proving quite successful. So just start. The rest will follow.

Bluejumprabbit

Aave is the safest DeFi option for this. Keep your loan to value ratio conservative, under 60%, so you don't get liquidated on a dip. Some people also split between a long term hold and a portion earning yield in stablecoin pools. Other protocols you can park and forget are either DEX protocols that when you LP are both the same correlation (ex. ETH/ETH derivative on uniswap), or you can park ETH on a yield tokenization platform like Pendle (LP)

BuildWithJohnny

Solid moves selling near top and buying dip is literally the dream. 👏 To increase exposure without fresh fiat, here's what's worked for me across cycles. 1. Lending (CeFi) Nexo/YouHodler for stable yields on BTC/ETH. Just know the counterparty risk. 2. DeFi yields Aave/Compound for more decentralized lending. Rates vary but you stay in control. 3. Overcollateralized loans. Borrow stablecoins against your crypto (Nexo/Aave) and buy more dip. Works if you're confident and can manage liquidation risk. 4. Staking .ETH staking (Lido/Rocket Pool) or XRP if you find trusted options. My mix? ~40% CeFi lending, ~30% DeFi yields ~30% staking. Not touching leverage this cycle. Slow and steady wins.

Bro starting with 50 USDT and treating it as learning fees is actually the smartest thing you can do. Most people jump in with big money and zero knowledge. You're doing it right. Quick tips: 1. Start with top 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL) they are safer and easier to learn from. 2. Use TradingView for charts look for support/resistance levels. 3. Follow credible people (not shillers) on X. 4. Learn why a coin pumps or dumps before buying. 5. Most importantly: journal every trade win or lose, write down why you entered and exited. You'll lose some, learn a lot, and eventually get better. Welcome to the jungle.

Congrats. After I got a full BTC I began stacking ETH, then staked it. Now I'm staking ETH.

Post is by: Hagya_ant and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rlzbik/we_got_a_solid_pump_now_what/ Had a pretty good run with ETH and XRP this past month and locked in a nice return, sold close to the top, and then bought back in on this dip. Feeling good about that move. The thing is, I’m still really bullish long-term. I genuinely believe there’s a lot more growth ahead for both, but I don’t have any extra EUR to put in right now. So I’m wondering: what’s the smartest way to increase exposure without adding fresh fiat? • Do you guys use lending/borrowing platforms? • Any creative strategies worth exploring? • Or is it better to just sit tight and let the current stack ride? Seems like a lot of people split between CeFi and DeFi. On the CeFi side, Nexo has grown large alongside Tether, while Aave still dominates when it comes to lending in DeFi. I also noticed Nexo has been expanding again recently, getting back into the U.S. and launching in Argentina, which is interesting to see. What’s your mix, and why? Curious how you guys approach this balance. Would love to hear from people who’ve been through a few cycles already. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The 130 million in single day ETF inflows is a strong signal that institutional money is starting to take ETH seriously again after months of sitting on the sidelines. Cumulative net inflows hitting 11.76 billion representing almost 5 percent of market cap shows this is not just speculation but actual allocation. The question is whether this momentum sustains or if it is just a reaction to the broader market rally. Has there been any breakdown of which ETF providers are driving the bulk of these inflows?

Not true. No government level agency is going to adopt ETH when ETH’s spiritual leader Buterin could leverage his position to gain influence and power over them. I can see your point being valid some day. But not today.

Not the decentralised ones like BTC and ETH.

If it means getting cheap ETH, I’m all for it!

Hoping we get to see $1600 or below for ETH in the coming weeks.

All Telegram channels are scams (yeah, I did that thing you said not to). Everyone is looking for that "hidden gem" leg-up instead of just buying and holding blue-chip coins. History shows that simply holding BTC and ETH has outperformed most altcoins and most active traders over time. The real "hidden gem" is to go long-term into something like BTC and ETH.

Verification on Kraken is only a few minutes provided you have the correct identification. Create an account, connect your bank, buy $20 ETH and send it to that address. Always maintain a balance of plain ETH in a wallet containing ETH tokens for gas. We're here to educate, not for charity.

Post is by: Impossible-Cycle5839 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rlhma7/need_help_on_gas_fee/ Hi everyone, I'm new to cryptocurrency and still learning how everything works. I currently have about 29 PYUSD on the Ethereum network, but I realized I need a small amount of ETH to pay the gas fee in order to swap and withdraw it. The required network fee shows around 0.00097 ETH (~$2). Unfortunately I don’t have any ETH in my wallet yet to cover the transaction fee. If anyone is willing to help Even a small amount would help me complete the transaction and learn how this works. Thank you! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If your capital is mainly tied in stock brokers, perhaps a simple ETF like IBIT, ETHA would be an easy way to get exposure to BTC and ETH. Crypto stocks like COIN, HOOD works well for exposure too. They are solid companies in the crypto space.

I agree there’s far too many ‘projects’ that aren’t needed. But no, services like Wise are not cheaper. A $1000 USD transfer is still costing ~$10. I can send that same $1000 on a layer 2 ETH network like Base ETH and pay essentially a few cents

BTC is king buddy. With that kind of portfolio you can afford to buy a whole bitcoin. If you want to buy alts then look into TAO(Bittensor) same fixed supply as Bitcoin. Decentralized AI SOL (Solana) future of Internet capital markets and ETH biggest competitor ETH as well for stability RENDER (Decentralized GPU compute)

It's was written by AI. ETH hasn't been at the top for 6 months.

Solid approach. For a 3/5 year horizon with an 8/12% allocation I'd suggest. 1. Bitcoin (BTC) Core holding digital gold institutional gateway. 2. Ethereum (ETH) Smart contract leader deep liquidity ETF potential. 3. Solana (SOL) High speed growing ecosystem institutional traction. 4. One infra play like Chainlink (LINK) or a major L2 like Arbitrum (ARB). 5. Possibly a small bet on a macro play like Ondo or Maker if you want RWA exposure. DCA in on pullbacks store in self-custody and rebalance occasionally. Welcome to the circus.

watch-nerd

I am. At 60% spot long, 40% short MAR futures, I win more on up days. Shorts are very far from liquidation: BTC intraday short liquidation $145,641 / overnight $126,224 ETH intraday short liquidation $6850 / overnight $5588

BTC, ETH, SOL should definitely be your core holdings (BTC being the heaviest). If you want to add some altcoins, stick to ones with actual fundamentals — exchange tokens like BNB, HYPE, that kind of thing. Skip memes and honestly most coins that bring zero real value — 99% of them will still be sitting near their lows long-term.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Majestic_Charity2707

BTC mostly. Possibly ETH and SOL. Bitcoin will outperform everything in the long run.

defeater33

Just sold ETH at the top Lol 😄😄.

defeater33

I'm invested in ETH. Yes I'm happy for it to be going up. faster for it to hit ATH or at least highs. I bought almost all at the same time.

snustynanging

I use a mix. Most in Aave for the higher rate, some on Coinbase for instant liquidity. The Aave stuff takes a few minutes to withdraw if ETH suddenly dumps and I want to move fast, so keeping some somewhere I can access instantly gives me peace of mind.
