my portfolio consists of BTC, ETH, NEXO and some other altcoins, along with stables. if you are looking for long term holding, I can recommend those as the nexo wallet gives you interest while you hodl

Striking-Name-1165

Nice, will do that. I'm lazy trading it all to ETH or USDT, so I'll stake it all

Used_Rhubarb_9265

You bought the literal top in May 2021. BTC was at $64k, ETH around $4k. Both crashed 70%+ after that. You’re break-even because of timing, not because holding doesn’t work. If you’re gonna keep holding anyway, at least earn something on it. I use Nexo and get like 8-10% on BTC/ETH while holding. It’s CeFi so there’s risk but beats 0% for another 4 years.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

20% total Crypto for me. 5% ea BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. It's gonna be one of these that's gonna become the most adopted. It's more than likely gonna be BTC. But who knows. Yahoo used to be the #1 search engine. Excite used to be the #1 social media platform. Books-a-Million was bigger than Amazon. I wanna stake in on more than just one Crypto. Better chance of being in the winner that way.

Thin_Positive_671

For me I started with a small ETH, then added more later on

>Thanks in advance, from a teacher looking to help out my retirement. I hope you don't teach your students to rush into long-term investments based on Reddit comments. If you are seriously considering Pepe, ADA and XRP, it's clear you have no clue about crypto, and are just gambling. Stop looking for advice about crypto here on Reddit. It's like asking Reddit for legal or marriage advice. Start using crypto and see what is actually happening. You'll soon learn there are really only 3 ecosystems with actual activity: BTC, ETH, and SOL. BTC has limited activity but is the most well known. It has failed to provide much utility and now is rebranding as "digital gold." ETH has by far the most utility, over 60% of all stablecoins, the vast majority of tokenized real world assets, the most advanced DeFi, and will likely form the foundation of future asset tokenization. But few know this because they watch Tik Tok and don't actually use blockchains. SOL is very popular with memes, is not as decentralized as Ethereum but has captured the low end market. It's token is highly inflationary but could improve over time. My advice: 40% BTC, 40% ETH, 20% SOL. But you should take 2-3 months and research yourself before investing anything.

Raymikqwer

As someone that wasted a lot of time with shitcoins. Just go BTC and ETH.

And2Makes5

BTC and ETH are low risk. Run from PEPE and ADA.

No_Thanks_3336

Buy ETH and forget about it.

Stray14

Pepe or XRP. Mate buy BTC or ETH and go away for 10 years. Simple. Get on with your life and treat it like a pension. If you intend to throw money out the window, you should do just that, have a couple of beers, a joint and then just toss it on out, you’ll have much more fun than buying any form of meme, scam coin. Buying those coins is like torching your wallet. WAKE UP MATE!

GreenStretch

Just finished my third cycle. Really nothing other than bitcoin is worth it. Two of the biggest coins, ETH and SOL didn't get very far past their 2021 highs this cycle. ADA didn't come close to matching its $3 peak last cycle. New coins for the next cycle might make money, as SUI did this cycle. After we're deeper into the bear, buying older coins at really historically depressed prices and selling them in the next cycle might be profitable, but the chance of any of them being long term holds like BTC is not great. Coingecko top 100 coins since their all time high.

Distinct-Presence52

Listen here teach, your gonna want to ape that 5k into 3 coins. 2.5k into BTC, 1.5k into ETH and the last 1k into something like XLM or NANO. Now you can always drop my suggestion for the last 1k and do whatever you like with it but keep the btc and eth for longterm holding. Extra points if you wait for a nice low point when buying the eth and btc, set a limit order so it buys as soon as the price is where you want it to be.

Current-Run-2750

Insanely bullish for ETH

spriteMeLeukoKrasi

RWA means Real Word Assets and this mean that stuff like stocks, and commodities are tokenized onchain. RWAs doesn't mean a token like ETH or ATOM that are required to use a specific chain for gas.

XRP, Algorand, Cardano, Hbar, and super spec but fun to watch Flare. Will load up on ETH and Sol soon.

Alexbobica

You are right. Sorry, around 20% into altcoins, low-caps. Generally speaking, those are approximate allocations. Mostly have my funds in BTC. I had 50% in BTC and 50% in ETH, but then I decided to improve BTC positions and have something in ETH still, but added SOL, 5% each.

northcasewhite

Just the like blocksize war created a massive alt rally in 2017. People were looking for an alternative to BTC. Look at how people are now looking into BCH. They will look for others too. Most people don't know that ETH was disliked by much of the community in 2015 and then in 2016 they started to see it as an alternative to BTC because of the small blockers.

erjo5055

I agree regarding the blue chip alts, though I think the ATH issue is more about 2021 being free money fueled mania and 2025 occurring under tighter monetary conditions. I think ETH/SOL will likely have meaningful new ATHs in 2028, though I still think BTC is the best risk adjusted return.

Eastern-Access-7555

Thanks for clarifying. So the 4 ETH route means running your own node with Rocket Pool, not holding rETH. That’s a good distinction. Appreciate the tip about testnet practice before going mainnet. Makes sense to try it safely first.

Scuttlefuzz

Those are the blue chips I am talking about. If you bought SOL/ETH at the peak last cycle, you barely made a profit on paper, more than likely they held assuming it would higher and are now at a loss or sold at a loss. Same goes for XRP except this applies to 2018 top blasters. New alts that can run on hype can probably see some short-lived gains but alts in general are not in a good spot when BTC is now the only one that can truly break new ground cycle to cycle. I think the "speculation" phase for long term alts is done, it's going to take real use cases and adoption to have sustained upside. Those charts are not going to paint a pretty picture with the way things are going. Of course you can always be a cycle trader, buy the pico bottom and get out whenever, but viewing these as HODL because it's never going to zero might be a big mistake.

For 98% of coins I agree. Most are useless shitcoins, but there are a few exceptions with some form of future. I believe ETH, SOL and maybe XRP will likely be around in some form for quite awhile. BTC has already won its place though, the others are still battling.

northcasewhite

You will be wrong! BTC will ATH in 2026 or 2027. >Eth was like $125 a pop at one point  Do you realize ETH went from less than a dollar to $1400 in 2 years? It was bound to crash that much regardless of covid and it did fall so much before covid.

confusedguy1212

Agreed during that time frame ETH performed pathetically. However … during that time frame ETH worked hard and succeeded in dealing with all the wrongs people complained about - mainly to do with gas fees. It did that without compromising the original crypto ethos meaning it did not require people to suddenly use monolithic computers to run the chain nor did it require the centralization of actors running the chain. You could argue that ETH did pathetically or you could say that maybe what it brought to the table hasn’t yet been properly appraised and combined with the latest price drops makes this a very attractive entry into it.

Chambana_Raptor

HOW are these peoole so fucking dumb. I DCA'd during the bear down to a cost basis of <$20K for BTC, <$1500 for ETH, like TWENTY FIVE for SOL. Started my sell ladders after BTC crossed last cycle's ATH. Timed the top almost perfectly this time with over 50% of my BTC holdings sold ~$120K. It was hovering there for MONTHS. It was SO easy. HOW did these morons not sell?? Not even a LITTLE profit taking?? I went almost 10X on SOL. Kept with tradition and rode the DOGE waves for what...5X all in? Only thing I didn't quite get out of was ETH but I still made enough to triple the buys I made during the last winter, when the next one comes. Now my profits have been rotated into foreign index funds that are up almost 30% in 6 months (always bet against Trump!). In a year, I'm going to start stacking back up. And most of this sub will still be idiots. Whatever, I guess. Thanks for being our exit liquidity, gang 🤑

Substantial-Pop-1029

Are you actually swapping crypto for gold/silver right now during this dip, or just HODLing/Buying more BTC/ETH?

SameWeekend13

Seriously man, ETH looks like it wants to make an ATH at this point.

wow247897

Look at ETH bro

brandonholm

Oh but I do. I’ve been studying the market since 2013. I even used to mine ETH in the early days, and I have used it extensively, and can confidently say that it has no real use case. SOL is even worse.

ice-ink

Because they either haven’t seen BTC / ETH chart in the last years, or think the lower it drops — the higher it will bounce.

R50cent

*looks at BTC and ETH and the scores of arguments for months and months about how everything else is garbage* Best of luck to the people still trying to figure it out lol.

confusedguy1212

Agreed but if more focus on ETH only we’ll all be better off in the long run.

Survivaleast

So in 2020 everyone was expecting things to drop much harder. It was by most accounts, a “world ending pandemic” with even the most prominent minds in the financial sector pushing the total economic collapse narrative. The people who bought BTC and ETH at all time lows during that period are still sitting quite nicely today. People who bought ETH for instance around $100 and below are still doing very nicely. Just as the people who bought BTC and ETH through the crashes before them. Even then, the popular tribal sentiment was it would crash further and maybe the entire tribe would finally buy with another 50% drop from there. That drop never came. Yah there’s plenty of bs going on today, just as there was plenty of bs going on previously. The happiest people in the crypto space have trained their brains to appreciate red and be cautious with green. They don’t buy crazy stupid things like cake coin, doggie coins, rainbow coins or whatever new social indoctrination scam perpetuated via Facebook posts came out today.

No-Wrap3568

I keep all my crypto self-custodial by using the Cypherock cold wallet as my main vault as it lets me store multiple wallets (BTC, ETH, XMR, SOL, DOT, USDT, etc.) with separate seed phrases, but no need to write anything down thanks to Shamir’s Secret Sharing (keys split into 5 parts, only 2 needed to recover). For instant access, I connect it via WalletConnect to swap/send from my phone without exposing keys. For smaller/meme coins, I use a hot wallet like Rabby on mobile, keeping them separate from my main stack. This setup gives me both secure long-term storage and daily usability without the stress of managing multiple seed phrases or relying on centralized exchanges. Hope it helps!

MethodImportant793

I’m 65, and thru my years, I’ve made some whopping bad investments. But I’m still here, and I still have investments. And even at my age, I’ve lost money in the crypto market, but have come to learn there are two coins I trust, BTC and ETH. You will make your money in those two. Chin up, and wait it out.

BlackRibbon69

You don't understand the market, study ETH and SOL use cases please. Even if investing in altcoins is a casino, ETH and SOL are casino owners so you are buying their stocks, not the spins in slot machines

Glyzzza_

I'll go for SOL, ETH and BTC

Reach_Beyond

Staking is not a free lunch. You re doing a job of securing the network and get paid to do so. If you aren’t doing your job correctly they slash your rewards or can take your ETH. Most slashing is 1 ETH, but could result in your entire 32 ETH node slashed. It’s rare and usually from error than malicious Behavior. Consensys is a trusted site or Google on your own for more info. https://consensys.io/blog/understanding-slashing-in-ethereum-staking-its-importance-and-consequences

Kevkillerke

That's the same as Rocket Pool only less decentralized. OP says they don't want a different token than ETH

HeraThere

Yeah my models called bitcoin to at $120K. My most conservative ETH and other adult predictions weren't even hit.  As it is right now you would have been better off holding s&p500 over the past 5 years than ETH.

Stats_DontCare0

Short answer is probably not anytime soon. The 32 ETH requirement is baked into the validator design, and lowering it brings tradeoffs around network load and complexity. Core devs have talked more about improving solo staker UX and things like distributed validators rather than changing the minimum itself. So native staking under 32 without pooling or derivatives doesn’t seem on the near roadmap. If you want to avoid rETH style tokens, your only real option for now is pooling trust or waiting a long while.

Additional-Ad3482

Sounds like a solid strategy for dipping your toes into the market. Solana and ETH are great long-term plays, but be cautious with ZCash and XRP  they can be volatile depending on regulatory shifts. Diversification is key, but always make sure you’re comfortable with your risk exposure.

Jebne

Let me guess: slow bleed until burger dump, they dump for 8 hours straight; BTC -8%, ETH -12% EOD.

HoodFruit

Except there’s always no liquidity to actually get ETH back out. You’re required to swap rETH eating fees and spread in the process Can’t recommend rETH if you want your ETH back anytime soon

Icy-Patient-1880

Your allocation actually says a lot about how you’re thinking, and it’s not bad for someone new. You’re clearly leaning toward established networks instead of chasing random micro caps, which already puts you ahead of most beginners. That said, the biggest thing I’d flag isn’t *what* you’re buying, but *how fast*. During dips that follow big flushes, markets often don’t bounce immediately. They chop, retest lows, and drain patience. Historically, the people who win aren’t the ones who perfectly pick the dip, but the ones who buy slowly and don’t panic when price goes sideways for months. Solana and ETH make sense as “learning coins” because they move with sentiment. XRP and ZCash are more narrative-driven, so just be aware they won’t always follow the same rhythm. If this is hobby money, treat it like tuition. Learn position sizing, entries, and how emotions feel during drawdowns. That knowledge will outlast any single trade.

emp2b3

You don't need to hold a liquid staking token if you want to do your own staking through Rocket Pool. Dropping from 8 to 4 ETH in less than two weeks. See [here for a start](https://rocketpool.net/node-staking/what-is-node-staking). They have an active Discord if you are thinking of being a home staker. I had used Allnodes but with a lot of support bought some hardware, downloaded their Smartnode stank, and ran validators on testnet prior to feeling comfortable on mainnet.

Horror-Sector7498

If you want a mix of stability + potential, I’d personally go with something like: * BTC – long-term anchor * ETH – strong utility + ecosystem * RYO – real-world payments, AI tools, and regulated growth You could split your funds evenly or weight more toward BTC/ETH for safety and sprinkle some into RYO for growth potential.

ETH just bought. Maybe tiny positions in doggy or cardino later. ETH big rewards but not the high risk as others. Never use leverage.

MulberryAcceptable39

Coinbase you can stake less than 32 ETH

-crypto2025hold-

Swell network you can stake just 1 ETH. No more 32 Eth to stake.

emelbard

Did you know that in 2015ish it was going to take 1600 ETH to stake?

watch-nerd

100% of my ETH is staked. But I also have 40% of my ETH position shorted via rolling 30 day futures. Entry price of my 27 FEB 26 ETH short was $2113.50. So it's a partial hedge.

YoungMoose71

EIP 7251 already increased rhe maximum of 32 eth per validator to 2048. So any amount between 32-2048 ETH can be staked by one validator. I believe you are correct that less than 32 ETH can not be staked unless you allocate via someone else to stake it for you with Lido, RETH, or others.

mrjune2040

I mean, not everyone is American. But regardless, I've paid taxes on ETH—rETH-ETH transactions plenty of times in the past, taxable events in themselves are unavoidable over time, the point is timing them well relative to your own tax situation. And holding rETH has never materially affected my own for the worse, if anything it's given me flexibility in terms of when I both take profits and off-set them as a realised loss, while inherently not affecting my underlying ETH holdings.

Reach_Beyond

I’ll buy more immediately if it drops below 1750. If it stays under 2200 for the rest of this month I’ll probably buy more beginning of March. I’ve been swing trading/long term holding exclusively ETH/BTC and I’ve never changed my core thesis on these 2

Reach_Beyond

I’m always curious to hear what others are doing. Can you describe that in more detail? I just bought 3 ETH between 1800-2200. I always stake 100% of what I hold.

Pen_Island_Tours

I, and I assume others, never seriously considered eETH because the tax implications. Whether you agree with it or not, in the eyes of the IRS, ETH to rETH or rETH to ETH is a taxable event.

noviwu97

There was euphoria all over 2024. It's just that for some reason, it avoided all the coins that are commonly held by CC redditors like ETH, ADA, ALGO, LRC, NANO, MATIC, DOT

Django_McFly

the roadmap is to make it so that 32 ETH isn't the maximum. i don't think there's any plans for sub 32ers.

watch-nerd

I’m not buying more ETH at these prices. I’m staking and delta 60, 40% rolling monthly shorts.

Reach_Beyond

I can’t imagine not buying more ETH if you have cash sitting on the side. Especially at these levels.

TovMod

Probably never, because lowering this minimum would require more BLS signature aggregation, but the ETH community seems to believe that achieving faster finality is a better use of better signature aggregation than decreasing the staking minimum.

defeater33

BTC is safer. ETH has bigger swings but still slowly averages higher. I sold out ETH at 3800 last time for good profit. Now buying it back with profits and extra at a lower buying price.

tomhandy11

BTC abd ETH. It seems we're in a bear market. 

Outrageous_Fee8230

This is not financial advice. 1. BTC (stop here I say but for fun…) 2. XMR (truest privacy coin, kraken or an exchange, and arguably number one except it is designed to be more like money and less like gold) 3. ETH (main crypto for use foundation but some may replace with SOL) 4. LINK (unique function as oracle) 5. QUBIC (unique concept, fastest at processing transactions, but hard to buy without using an exchange like Exolix) 6. OpenClaw Coin (meme and not associated with the local AI project except the name, fun to follow) There are others such as SUI which may replace one of the above but those are just my pics. This is not financial advise.

RoaringDragonSword

First off, im retarded. Anyways. I'm not interested in buying BTC but BTC lowest i would assume 35-40k would not be abnormal for BTC compared to previous drawdowns. But, i think anyone waiting for those exact figures has a decent change missing out on great dca range sub 60k. I am focusing on ETH rather than BTC since I believe in its future more. ETHBTC has been hammered and essentially lost the last cycle. I think due to the monetary policy for next cycle, ETH has a lot more room to grow.

RoaringDragonSword

It depends on fully do you think ETH has been hammered enough last cycle, and for it to continue this cycle? I think ETH will climb over BTC in 2028-20230. This year, I hope it can go sideways or at worst double bottom at .017. That would set up next 3 years to outperform BTC and potentially reclaim what was lost last cycle. Primarily, monetary policy will favor ETH over BTC IMO.

Cautious-Lecture-858

So… ETH?

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Ethereum reserves on Binance have dropped to 3.7 million ETH, the lowest level since 2024, indicating a shift in holder behavior. This steady decline suggests that ETH is being withdrawn to private wallets or used on-chain rather than kept for trading. Despite price weakness in the $2,000–$2,100 range, the trend reflects reduced sell pressure and a preference for holding ETH off-exchange. This could signal a tighter supply environment and potential market stabilization as broader conditions improve. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

This-Adhesiveness-52

Only buying ETH and LTC, maby some SOL but XRP is just paid influencers that promote the hell out off that coin. It is almost as worthless as a memecoin. Banks gonna switch to another xrplikecoin that's cheaper when xrp gets to expensive. It's all hype. That it's even in the top 5 is crazy. That promotion team really paid off. BTC is to expensive.

tldr; BitMine, led by Tom Lee, has added $42 million worth of Ethereum to its holdings, acquiring 20,000 ETH despite market volatility. The firm now holds 4.29 million ETH, nearing its goal of controlling 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply. Lee defends Ethereum's price fluctuations as part of its growth cycle and emphasizes its potential as the future of finance. To mitigate risks, BitMine is diversifying its strategy with staking and investments in smaller tokens and media ventures, aiming to offset losses during the ongoing 'Crypto Winter.' *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ETH/BTC. One day you'll appreciate decentralisation.

The majority of alts are going to be gone for good after this. No more scams, memes, or other types of bullshit. Maybe some coins like ETH will survive, but I just want to see Fartcoin go to fcking zero so all of its massive liquidity flows into BTC.

Awkward_University91

lol Ada IS the grift. First he was ousted from ETH and then championed ETC because eth wasn’t decentralized enough and then he made ada because etc was too decentralized. It’s all grift and narrative and Charles just isn’t a good dude.

Progress_8

I played crypto back then, when the administration and all those big financial institutions didn't believe in it. Now, Stablecoins are popping up with a pro-crypto administration that is putting crypto into law. Ethereum with contract ability is the dominant network by a huge margin. The company has zero debt and >95% of its asset is stakeable Ethereum that earns rewards. It has minimal overhead. Can't beat that kind of operation. The price action follows the two biggest Cryptos and multiple mNav is going to kick in when the street realizes its potential, unless you think Bitcoin or Ethereum is going to zero, which is next to impossible under the current administration. The CLARITY Act is going to be a huge rocket fuel that connects crypto with Wall Street. I bought 12X this past Thursday because I understand the company's fundamentals. Price often correlates with demand. The demand for ETH utilization has skyrocketed over the past year. We are just seeing the very beginning of BMNR's potential. It is late by the time the average investor realizes it.

Be careful with new 'privacy protocols.' If this isn't a well-known, audited open-source project, it’s a huge red flag. Using unverified mixers is a fast way to lose your ETH or get your wallet blacklisted by exchanges.

IndependentAd2933

I remember the days when Cardano was #3 and climbing towards ETH 🫠. Glad I got out while they were still #3.

Willing_Gas7868

Honestly, the cleanest route right now is just using a big CEX (Binance/OKX/Coinbase): send ETH in, swap to SOL, withdraw - boring but reliable. If you want on-chain, Portal (Wormhole) is usually the smoothest bridge I’ve found, but expect a bit of time and fees. If you care more about speed than purity, CEX > bridges every time.

tldr; Laundry Cash is an Ethereum privacy protocol enabling anonymous ETH transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography. Users can deposit ETH, receive a cryptographic note, and withdraw funds anonymously, breaking the on-chain link between source and destination. The protocol operates with zero fees and is live on the Ethereum mainnet, ensuring non-custodial privacy transactions. Users must securely store their cryptographic note, as it is essential for fund withdrawal and cannot be recovered if lost. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Ethereum's price shows signs of a potential rebound after forming an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern and a hammer candle, indicating a bullish reversal. Despite a recent drop, Ethereum's fundamentals remain strong, with staking queues reaching a record high of 4 million ETH and active addresses increasing by 38%. The network's transaction volume and fees have also surged, reflecting its dominance in key crypto industries. Analysts predict a possible price recovery to $2,500, barring a move below the hammer's lower side. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I've been in crypto for over a decade and decided to buy ETH. It looks to me like people trade crypto on nothing more than emotion. Everyone is scared, so I buy. When everyone is prancing about acting like a crypto investment genius, I sell. Just be prepared to hold for 18-24 months

Fundstrat’s head of digital strategy, Sean Farrell, on Dec. 17th, 2025, predicted that the bottoming for BTC $60–65K and ETH $1.8–2.0K. You can join the action or wait until the ship passes you by.

When everyone sells ETH at 4k+ it will never be able to make new highs again in the future and the chart will be forever rekt. So sellers / swing traders are part of the problem.

I made $200 off of RIVER during its small peak so I’m using the profits and the rest of my portfolio to buy the dips of the recent market flush. I’ve divided my portfolio into 4 coins: 40% into Solana 20% in ETH 20% in ZCash 20% into XRP What’s everyone buying during this time? I’m not looking for Crypto to make me rich overnight, I do it more as a fun hobby with money I can afford to lose. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I exchanged all my ETH for BTC today. It's pointless, because I've held ETH for three years and am now exactly where I was three years ago, while my BTC – which I bought at the same time back then – is still 100% higher than it was three years ago, despite the recent price drops. From now on, BTC is the only option for me.

Personally, I would not buy ETH again if I could go back in time. I only bought it because I was listening to the hype. But because I’m holding, I don’t see a reason not to buy the dip. It’s a very small position in my account so it’s definitely not going to tear me apart. If I could go back in time five years, I would only buy bitcoin.

t really depends on how active you are. If you’re trading daily, people will recommend different setups than if you’re just buying occasionally. I’m in the second camp, so my main criteria is how fast I can buy and withdraw without extra friction. For ETH buys I’ve been using Buy ETH on Paybis and sending it off-platform right after. No bells and whistles, just works for basic buys.

Without pathos and no jokes — everything goes to Ethereum. And watching people panic en masse because of the 25–30% correction is frankly strange. As soon as the price falls, there are immediately conversations about regulation, refunds, "investor protection" and the search for the culprits. But this is not a disaster and not the end of the market — it is a normal filtration process. This is where tourists, casual players and those who came in for rapid growth return back to fiat and normal work. Look at the on-chain data, at the level of staking, at the behavior of long-term wallets. None of those who really build an ecosystem is running away. Ethereum's foundation hasn't broken, the roadmap hasn't vanished, the network hasn't stopped being the base layer for most crypto infrastructure just because the price has temporarily subsided. I'm not selling because there's simply no reason for it. Weak hands come out so that the system can be cleaned. Everyone likes to talk about beliefs until it starts to cost something real. In my case, the price was high. When ETH was on the local day, my wife packed up and went with the kids because I refused to sell. She said that I had had enough and that it was impossible to live like this. From that moment on, Ethereum began to recover. You might call it a coincidence or harsh irony, but the market doesn't respond to emotions, ultimatums, or fear. She sold the bottom of our relationship. I held my position. The network continued to work. The market has made its choice. And that turned out to be too little. When ETH dropped to \~$1740, my dad excluded me from the will. Seriously. He said that I was irresponsible and buried my future. But the market, as usual, does not ask anyone. Ethereum has rebounded — and now it's trading around \~$2100 again. Of course, no one rewrote the will. But there was another reminder: the greatest pressure always falls on the very bottom. You can laugh, devalue it or write it off as fanaticism. It's not about the price today or tomorrow. It's about who will stay when the noise subsides. Ethereum is not dead, and neither is the belief. It's just that not everyone can withstand volatility. And that's normal. The filter works. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
