ETH

ConsistentRub934

My rule is written before I buy: take out the initial on the first big move, trim more when everyone starts calling for insane targets, and never wait for the perfect top. Some goes back to BTC and ETH, some stays in stables. I use Nexo for part of that when I’m sitting out, but the main point is simple: don’t let a 5x turn into a round trip.

HoldCtrlW

Easy short on ETH here. As is tradition

Asleep_Onion

I'll stake your ETH for $5

Mr_Stimmers

Yeah, the majority of that I’m only holding for tax loss harvesting. I have faith the ETH, SOL, and LINK will recover, and hopefully the ADA (looking very doubtful at the moment). The rest are dead to me.

AvocadoDip12

I think Binance would have legal trouble if they halted that ETH without your local police's involvement. They are to blame here. I'm not sure what the crypto tax regulations are in Turkey, but they should do a better job protecting their citizens in such cases.

Flynn_Kevin

People like me with money in tax sheltered retirement accounts that (currently) are unable to custody the asset. I can't get BTC in my ROTH, but I can get MSTR. STRC, and MSTY (along with a good number of other crypto ETFs). I've held long enough that the dividends have already covered the purchase of the stock and then some. When I retire, those gains are tax free. Really, you can say the same for other commodity-based ETFs like those based on precious metals. Why own a stock of gold when you can just own gold and self-custody? The answer is convenience, liquidity, and tax shelters. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Sure, I have paper BTC, ETH, gold, and silver in my ROTH. I also have some self-custodied. I add to both exchange custodied and self custodied stacks regularly.

GlizzyCannons

Just to add -- There is literal liquidity tying many of these assets together in a concrete way. More so than just same market forces. Order books where ETH is paired with BTC whether it's on a CEX and/or DEX for example. Then ETH is paired with X meme coin in a similar way. This stuff kind of bonds the prices together where thicker liquidity = stronger price bond.

burt-and-ernie

The seller opened a P2P to sell me ETH…..ok I’m already done reading. Brother, that’s beyond stupid. There’s zero reason to buy crypto from another person and I won’t even go into the red flag of his bank account being blocked. Why would you think this was a good idea? Sorry this is your fault

EncrustedBarboach

Check the prices, 13 eth ain't worth no 40k 💀 I would take the loss and move on, you will be looking for those ETH forever

examachine

BTC and ETH are both obsolete technologies Guess what happens to obsolete cryptocurrency

kmmck

I feel like we're at a stage of society where altcoins have been demystified. Especially with AI letting people be informed. You can call me cynical but this is my take on it: In the 2021 bull run, every altcoin basically pumped alongside BTC. If BTC increased 10%, almost every altcoin pumped 20%. If you were in the top 100, you were in for the ride. In the 2024 bull run, only the top 10 to 20-ish altcoins had any decent pump. Even then, most of them barely got past their 2021 ATH. So big names like ETH, XRP, SOL, etc I think for the next cycle at 2028-ish its going to be the roughest cycle by far especially after Trump basically solidified altcoins as a rugpulling tool

Few_Green1142

My portfolio is down by 25%. Shall I wait for it give 10 to 15% profit or selling it now will be the wise decision. My portfolio has BTC, ETH, SOL, UNI, POL

WickedLordSP

I think narratives of many altcoins are dead, except Ethereum and Solana. For Bitcoin, ETH and SOL it's just a cycle

AeroSyntax

Just swap ETH to BTC.. 

ockhams_laser

BTC is the safer long term hold by far. most alts get diluted out or straight up die off over a 3-4 year span, if you want exposure beyond BTC just keep it small and stick to ETH at most

oopssomething

Seems like shorting ETH really is the safest option in crypto.

piggleii

Their cost basis is zero, and they have infinite ETH. What they'll do is work out how much they want to dump in USD and dump the corresponding amount of their free and infinite ETH. So, basically, it doesn't matter what the price is.

Every coin loved by this sub has failed (ADA, LINK, LTC, DOT). Why should ETH be any different?

mcdstod

Well be lucky if ETH ever hits 5K. Forget alt season

ignatious__reilly

ETH is a fucking blood bath

GreenStretch

Why would people rotate money to alts? Wasn't that a thing that happened in the 2017 cycle because there were many fewer fiat on ramps and people had to buy BTC or maybe ETH or LTC to send to an exchange that would trade alts?

TechCynical

"You can technically still migrate after the deadline (the Arbitrum Canonical Bridge stays accessible through the Arbitrum Portal), but you'll have fewer tools and slower help. Don't wait." this is a kinda stupid way to put it as usual with r/cc it doesnt matter if nova goes offline unable to process transactions. it would need to be permanently sunsetted in the truest scene where theres absolutely no nodes or any other software to do things like process withdraw transactions. The only time you will need to care about needing to move your moons off nova is if theyre fully shutting down the chain. Even on "minimized support" (which really just means they dont care about nova anymore but it doesnt cost anything to host stuff so theyll do it for now) you can still forcefully withdraw moons from Nova to L1 ETH. Even if the sequencer to process transactions goes offline, again you can still force withdraw back to L1. The entire chain would need to be shutdown and gone in order for it to matter.

Educational_Cable405

The fake token part is honestly the easy bit, anyone can deploy a contract that calls itself USDT and shows whatever balance they want. The part that actually takes money is the step after, where you suddenly can't move it without 'gas' or an activation fee, so you send real TRX or ETH and that's what they were fishing for the whole time. The pretend balance was never the prize, your gas was.

confusedguy1212

Afraid of MSTR failing, it’s not too late to sell your Bitcoin for Ethereum. Buy ETH.

Mr_Footies

And if you’ll bought ETH in January 2019, you would be up 1,367%.

zenxro

Sellers will get exhausted and there will be a moment where you will see everything tanks except BTC and ETH.

OmensGroup

Buying high and selling low I see. Very nice. (Dude for real hope you’re kidding, don’t sell on the down - I’m sure you’re familiar with the halving cycles but if not check ‘em out. With that said, I’ve come to the conclusion that I should’ve just went in on Bitcoin, little ETH and a dash of SOL instead of going like 70% on shitcoins 7 years ago, lol).

stpauli93

Less BTC, more ETH.

Izrud

When I joined in late '16 - early '17, before Ethereum exploded and overshadowed LTC, the crypto forums and reddit still had some remnants of a community which was interested in financial sovereignty, in providing opportunities for improving real world technologies and people trying to educate each other. Citing whitepapers and deep, thoughtful, technological discussion was not uncommon and people with genuine passion were investing their time and effort into building meaningful communities behind their coins. BTC was starting to make ripples across popular culture and hope and enthusiasm were arguably at an ATH. I believed and spent many years praising decentralization and trustless tech as the second coming of Jesus. In retrospect it was the dying breaths of the real crypto community, which largely lived in obscurity between 2009-2015, slowly being overtaken by masses of greedy, uneducated and frothing at the mouth population searching for a quick buck. At this point in time, I hold BTC and ETH, but no longer believe they're anything but aother asset I hold in my investment portfolio for diversity's sake. The only real world change I have seen crypto have is to normalize "meme" stocks in the mainstream, that hold no basis in reality, such as all the EV stocks (I'm looking at you Tesla and SpaceEx), GME, AI stocks, etc.

NorthHaverbrookNate

In the absence of clear indicators more data is needed, hard to tell with subs like this sometimes since the line between true despair and playing into a bit can get a bit blurred in times like these. Particularly this sub, as it seems to be fairly critical of crypto at times. I appreciate the clarification, I only have a small amount myself (BTC, ETH, and some LTC and even a little doge from a while back) and tend to be very boring with my finanxes since I do not have a lot of excess income, but one of the things that fascinates me about crypto is the interplay of sentiment, demand, broader monetary pressures, and just crypto as an asset class in general. Mind if I ask when you first started buying? I first bought in 2020, though I followed the 2018 bull market pretty closely

Backieotamy

No, not at all. But my answer to his question is factually correct. The only thing I am starting to lean into is that bear/bull four year cycles are starting to get shorter and some alts are decoupling from BTC. I have been accumulating ETH, SOL, XRP, hbar, DOGE (dont judge me), and ADA which I finally sold because it is not following that pattern at all and every low and every high for the last 8 years have only declined so I removed it. The only given is BTC and even thats still questionable on its ability to not start a global financial meltdown at this point in investment capital. Some ath still haven't reached the 2021 levels which that bear run took a lot of wind out of the crypto sails and has continued to keep a lot of $$ out of it however that retail investor drop is finally being replaced with commercial capital and a lot of it. But there is no guarantee other than rich people will get richer regardless of market performance, a lot of us normal folks will lose a lot of money on get rich quick ideals, corrupt/mismanaged crypto firms, scam tokens, or cashing out at the bottom of a bear because they dont have the stomach for it (and I don't blame them other than shouldn't have got in to begin with) and then some retail investors will make money. The only thing I am assuming is that the market will recover but tbh, DJT is a wild card and everything he touches turns to shit.

What you have to remember is that over time a Crypto Market has developed, there’s no doubt that BTC is the big dog, and whichever way he wags his tail the market will follow. Yet, if people didn’t buy Alts, including ETH, the market would cease to exist. If this happened, BTC would drop significantly. Today there’s a symbiotic relationship, of which Alt’s play a valuable role. Best not to denigrate and try to be superior, just buy what you want, but as always, you do you 🤷‍♀️

After the initial ETH withdrawal got stuck, I got 2 more withdrawals in initiating status afterwards. The moment I saw that these weren’t in “Reviewing” but in “Initiating” status, I opened a new ticket and contacted Cyril (admin of the Telegram group) and kindly asked him to check the ticket number. When he checked it, he would say “please be patient” and similar things. Within 12–48h, my withdrawal was cancelled and the funds were returned to my spot wallet

80% BTC. XRP outperformed ETH last cycle. I didn't look into HBAR yet. Isn't XLM a XRP 2.0? I know a friend of mine who holds XLM

coinaugur

What I did was start with a small amount of money i could afford to lose, like 20 bucks, and just started messing about. 5 bucks ETH, 5 bucks BTC, etc. Just see what happens and how things correlate. You’ll slowly get an understanding of your app/broker, swings, etc. Then move onto bigger numbers. Though this is not financial advise. Crypto includes a ton of risk. Just sharing my personal learning experience.

ETH still extremely overvalued. will buy in at $800

Reach_Beyond

I took it down to zero crypto holdings between Jan 2025 to December 2025. I didn’t think Trump was good for crypto was my thesis. DCA’ing from 2018-2023. I figured I’d also sell all and pay taxes within 1 calendar year to make it easy. I’ve now re-deployed all funds BTC between $61k to 66k and ETH $1.7k to $2.5k. I certainly did not time the top or bottom. In the end I probably gained an extra 40% to holding, but the risk was high and I got lucky. In the future just HOLD.

whatwilly0ubuild

That unstake delay isn't a product you can shop around, it's baked into the protocol, so no setup makes it vanish for real staking. Solo stake 32 ETH and later exit and you sit in the validator exit queue then wait for a withdrawal sweep, that's the chain protecting itself, not your client running slow. For someone parking it three years and not touching it, that delay is a non-issue, so quit optimizing around it. Solo staking your own validator gets you the full reward with no counterparty and nobody able to freeze your stake, the price is you're running real infrastructure and a sloppy node gets you slashed. If you go that way, look at distributed validator tech like Obol or SSV so one dead machine doesn't sink you. Liquid staking tokens like stETH or rETH are the only thing that gives you instant exit, you hold a token you can sell on a DEX anytime instead of queuing, but you swap the queue for smart contract and de-peg risk, and that token can trade under ETH right when you want out. For a true long hold you don't need that escape hatch. Run a proper validator, test your exit on a testnet first so you're not learning queue mechanics with live money, and ignore the timer because it costs you nothing the way you're playing this. Too many damn people skip that test and find out the hard way.

Ruzhyo04

I \*only\* crypto for its utility. DeFi allows me to do everything my bank does, but I keep control over my money. I can save it, spend it, gift it, exchange it, lend it, borrow against it, or even delete it, and I don't need anyone's permission to do any of it. I can keep my money in USD or GBP or gold or ETH or whatever I like. And I also use web3 style accounts wherever possible, for example on [Farcaster.xyz](http://Farcaster.xyz) or [ddocs.new](http://ddocs.new) . I'd much rather own my account than have Elon Musk or Sergey Brin or \[name-your-billionaire\] own it for me. This is basic stuff. Its the only reason I'm here. To be frank I really don't understand why anyone who doesn't care about this stuff is here. It can't possibly be to make money, because... look around man.

HoldCtrlW

Easy short here for ETH as we go below $1500

Backieotamy

Look at the life time of most cryptos and you will see the cycle and you will see that with the cycles the lows are higher than the last cycle along with the ATH usually increasing with each bull run during its cycle. e.g. even ETH, XRP and SOL fit this example perfectly.

I used to be big on ETH, but it didn't even hit a new all time high this time. I won't be buying any more.

Spare-Dingo-531

20% Solana, 16% AAVE, 64% ETH. Basically I think proof of stake tokens will perform well, better than Bitcoin. I'm not sure about whether ethereum or Solana will dominate so I have 20% Solana and 64% ethereum. The arrangement is based on market cap, specifically the relative market caps of each at their all-time high. I have AAVE because it is the biggest lending protocol on ethereum and also has very strong tokenomics relative to Morpho. Lending seems to be the sector in ethereum that performs the best during bull runs and stable coins are rising which should help that sector. So it's 1/5 Solana 4/5 ethereum with 1/5 of the ethereum being AAVE.

Perfect_Interest6239

I dissolved all my alt coins months ago while still in the green and stuck the lot in BTC. Even ETH aswell there is allot going on behind the scenes there and its not positive.

Consensus 0.37% MoM, 3.3% YoY which is flat to April. Hottest monthly in a bit. And the take I keep seeing is the same one everywhere. Hot number, dollar stays bid, crypto legs lower. Maybe. BTC opened around 62.5K this morning, lowest in two weeks, ETH 1,670ish, DXY back over 100. So some of that is already in the tape. What I cannot shake is that the same people calling for a hot print are also calling May the peak. So this could be the last bad one, not the start of something. And the hawkish part is not a secret anymore. Dot plot went to hikes, roughly 68% odds on a Sept hike, dollar at a one year high. Everyone is already on that side of the boat. Also crypto has not really traded the rate path the last few weeks. Feels more like the dollar plus all the cash getting hoovered into pre IPO AI names. A soft PCE does not fix that. Could still light up a pile of shorts though. Not saying long it. Buying blind into a release is gambling with extra steps. I just think in line or soft is the outcome nobody is set up for. anyway. anyone actually positioned for a miss tomorrow or is everyone short into it *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MinimalGravitas

The exit queue is only 2 days at the moment, compared to 44 days for the entry queue: https://www.validatorqueue.com/ The queue exists to dampen changes in the number of active validators, this helps Ethereum maintain stable security, which if you care about Ethereum enough to want to run a validator then presumably you are quite keen to preserve? There is no way to stake directly without going through the queue to enter and exit, but you could use a staking service or liquid staking derivative (like rETH) where other entities stake your ETH and take a fee from your rewards for doing so. If you take a staked ETH token though, it is worth considering that if swapping back to ETH to withdraw when lots of other people try to do the same is likely to result in a further loss of value due to liquidity. One final thought, if you are considering spinning up your own validator with your ETH then a sensible first step is to set up and run a full node first. That doesn't cost anything but will let you practice running clients.

c0horst

Sometimes it's the right move. I was big into Ravencoin during 2020-2022 because it was mineable and I assumed after ETH went to proof of stake something would need to take it's place, and why not bird coin? Mined it the whole time, bought a lot in early 2022, and dumped EVERYTHING right when it spiked when ETH went to proof of stake. Thank god. I would have made more money if I just sold it the whole time, but holding a sinking asset forever is a terrible idea if you have no reason to believe it will go back up.

nikko_at_autheo

The ETH/BTC ratio dropped roughly 60% in the first half of 2026. Most coverage treats this as just a price story but it is also an infrastructure story: developers now have more Layer-1 and Layer-2 options than ever, and they are sorting chains by fee predictability, halt history, language support, and composability.

Avoid leverage at all costs. Avoid over-trading. If you have a winning trade you’ve locked profits in. Walk away. Don’t do the next trade straight away, it will usually be a bad one. Stick to BTC and ETH if you’re investing (ie. not trading actively). Long term buy and hold is the best when it comes to Bitcoin and I would say ETH as well. Good luck!

I ain't no crypto expert, but very soon (26th of June) Bitmine, a company which holds 5% of total ETH supply will be added to Russell 1000, which is a big liquidity boost, which also means that all the people investing in stock market indexes and hating on crypto will be forced to invest their money into ETH. Also Glamsterdam is pretty close, so I see 0 reasons to think that ETH is dead.... Literally every single crypto is down right now because of uncertainty in terms of regulations, but at the same time we see huge companies that are being added to Russell 1000 buying ETH right now...

If they believe Bitcoin's price is collapsing they don't believe in any long term mining profit anymore. But they might still go for some short term profit. It might also be people invested in Ethereum that believe if they attack proof of work in this way, proof of stake will become more valuable and because of the right market dynamics they figure out they can do such an attack without it costing them anything or even making a profit. They will withdraw ETH from the exhange but get the BTC back so then they can try to rent more hashrate again and try it on another exchange. Exchange will then be forced to require many more confirmations on deposits. Till hashrate has dropped low enough again and the same dynamics happen again.

Patient_Craft2195

Classic beginner trap — USDC is an ERC-20 token so you need ETH in the same wallet to pay gas fees. The easiest fix is to buy a small amount of ETH ($2-3 worth) and send it to your Samsung wallet address, that should cover the gas to move your USDC.Samsung Wallet doesn't natively support Uniswap but you can download MetaMask on your Samsung, import your wallet, and swap from there. Simplest solution though is just adding a tiny bit of ETH for gas and sending the USDC directly.

No_Perception_7974

Classic chicken-and-egg problem with gas fees, catches so many new people off guard. You can try to find a centralized exchange that lets you deposit USDC and withdraw ETH, since those platforms cover the gas on their end. Otherwise yeah, the ATM trip might just be the easiest path for such small amount.

airSick-WetLander

Your portfolio is already showing you what worked. BTC is green. SOL is green. ETH remains your highest-conviction position. Instead of asking “Should I sell my alts?” ask yourself: **“If I had all that cash today, would I rebuild this exact portfolio?”** If the answer is no, your portfolio and your convictions are out of alignment. Sometimes owning more coins isn’t diversification,it’s just more ways to be wrong. Focus future capital on your highest-conviction ideas? I’d say just hold on until it becomes green, might be painful. Diamond hands.

Lefties_TheWorst7331

Dump all alts (including ETH) and full port BTC. There is no second best, and the rest are called ALT coins for a reason.

Eth is the only alt with a future.  BTC and ETH will remain. Go in 50/50 on those two for long term

nsbhq

Stake the Sol and ETH, Worldcoin is promising, start slowly converting Bonk to BTC Hhonestly the other projects are decent but holding just BTC and maybe some ETH would have been better.

Critical-Ad6184

Don't make it one giant sell/hold decision. I would sort the alts into three buckets first: 1. still has a current thesis and enough liquidity 2. thesis is gone, but you are only holding because the loss hurts 3. tiny moonbag you would not rebuy today The second bucket is usually the one to clean up first. Then decide what max alt percentage you actually want and rotate toward BTC/ETH over a few moves instead of doing one emotional transaction. Also export lots/cost basis before moving anything. Unwinding a mixed bag gets much more annoying when the records are missing.

GroundbreakingPage41

I’ll get downvoted because this sub has a boner for ETH but realistically it’s not worth the investment. All of these upgrades and layer 2s over the past few years and it hasn’t caused any meaningful price action. BTC and SOL are probably the best bets.

I'd only keep two of those. And one of them is not ETH. Cut your losses, take your girl out for dinner. If you don't have one, pet your dog. Put the rest back into the two keepers. NFA... it's just what I'd do.

Leynnox

I would keep BTC, ETH if you like it, SOL, and LINK just in case clarity act passes, one day. I'd definitely sell all the other ones, maybe not now, but they're not things I'd like to keep long term.

After my first ETH withdrawal was stuck for almost two weeks, I repeatedly requested a cancellation and the funds were returned to my spot wallet. A few days later I submitted another withdrawal, leaving about $20 in my spot wallet in case the issue was related to the withdrawal fee, since the fee was showing as **0**. When the withdrawal got stuck in **“Initiating”** again, I started experimenting and eventually found a solution.

brb_im_lagging

Just send to binance and swap at 0.1% fee to USD then withdraw to bank account If binance does not directly support the token, then swap it to one that is, like YourToken to USDC (or to like ETH or BNB) usually at 0.3% then send to binance then swap to USD and withdraw You should be looking at 0.1% fee up to at most 0.4% (0.3+0.1) Anything higher is shit

WealthyTuna

Ltc hasn't been relevant since maybe 2017 when everyone thought it would follow ETH. It's still the same price all these years later.

Well, that should be expected. Even coins like ETH barely did anything last cycle, so it’s probably best to wait for a real one, which of course isn’t guaranteed but probably has a better chance the next go around when Trump is out. Then we will see if it can perform even half as well as the first three cycles.

Over 130 countries are exploring this, and the IMF, BIS, and WEF are all openly framing CBDCs as the next layer of the global monetary system, not a side experiment. In parallel, US policymakers are still “studying” a digital dollar, but Congress is already debating the policy issues, and the Fed is building the plumbing via instant payment rails and research programs. From a macro lens, this sits on top of three big trends: stealth dollar debasement through structurally higher deficits, gradual de-dollarization at the margins as BRICS+ push alternative payment rails, and institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a reserve-like macro asset via ETFs and balance-sheet allocation. CBDCs don’t kill crypto; they formalize the state-controlled version of digital money. That actually sharpens Bitcoin’s value prop as the only large-scale, non-sovereign, bearer digital asset. The risk is less “they ban BTC tomorrow” and more that CBDCs make it trivial to enforce capital controls, programmable taxes, and blacklisting. If you hold your “crypto” in a KYC’d walled garden with no self-custody, you’re basically holding a high-beta CBDC proxy. Because of that, CBDC acceleration has made self-custody non-negotiable for me. I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger. For fiat on/off and some regulated exposure, I still think Coinbase is the most compliant US ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase. Curious how everyone here is actually pricing CBDC risk in portfolios. Are you adjusting your BTC/ETH vs. stablecoin mix? Thinking more in terms of jurisdictional diversification? Or mostly ignoring CBDCs as noise until launch dates get locked in? Ledger and Coinbase links are affiliate links. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Idk. If I had 171k right now liquid. I’d drop 150k on BTC and rest on SOL/ETH.

I do notice utility coins having stagnation in prices,are dirt cheap or take extremely long to reach something close to an ath before sinking again. Polygon,DOT,XLM,Cardano,ETH, etc.

Deploying more capital into ETH, steady lads.

For a complete beginner, I'd keep it simple and not worry too much about finding the "perfect" exchange I've actually recommended Delta Exchange to a couple of friends lately because it has spot now, so they can just buy and hold without getting overwhelmed. If they decide to learn more later, things like futures are already there. The biggest mistake I see beginners make is jumping into leverage on day one. Just buy a little BTC or ETH, learn how wallets and withdrawals work, and go from there. The fancy stuff can wait 😂.

Binance delisted BETH pairs so you cant sell on spot market directly anymore. Go to Earn then ETH Staking and hit redeem to get standard ETH back 1:1, or select wrap to convert it to WBETH. Once you wrap to WBETH just jump back to spot market and sell the WBETH/ETH or WBETH/USDT pairs to cash out immediately.
