ETH

star_trek_wook_life

Don't diversify. I just buy the coins that are actually used. BTC ETH rETH XMR. Those are my bets. All the rest are noise and nothing but future promises.

iamjide91

I'll swap ETH for SOL. I mean 30% in SOL and 10% in ETH.

iamjide91

You should have sold the tops man. There was clear indications. I sold BTC, ETH, SOL, AIOZ. Now I'm buying back at generation-changing prices.

dirkseyboy78

ETH AVAX ADA NEAR RENDER SOLANA ONDO SUI INJECTIVE Some of these I bought high and they are completely destroyed right now but long-term I have faith in all of them.

gatoss5

I made this mistake while buying the 2022 bottoms and picked ETH. I should have picked BTC. Never buying ETH ever again unless swing trading

beerissweety

I remember people complaining ETH plateauing at around 4000

Rayl24

Go to any crypto analytics website, binance being the largest exchange is tracked by everyone. Look at their BTH,ETH&Stablecoins reserve over the past month and compare with industry averages

HunterStoddsvan

I just bought a 2006 sprinter van last week with ETH. 

tradercpw

Dude I'm down $15k in ETH. But I've been through this before. Stop listening to all the FUD. It's not going to zero. Either keep buying more or just hold. If $1k is going to make you go broke then you picked the wrong investment. Should've just put it in a bank.

Relevant-Lead-1919

I’ve been in crypto since 2014- some wins some losses. From my experience you have to go through one full cycle. 2024 ain’t it. From my moderate understanding of cycles is they go every 4 years meaning the next top will be 10/29. So from now I plan to start DCAs in a few weeks and just wait for 10/29. Yes- 4 years later and focusing on BTC ETH maybe some alts but we all know what happened to the alts this cycle

SeriousGains

Vitalik didn’t plan a 100-year vision for ETH for nothing. Gonna be a long time to next ATH.

SpontaneousDream

Hyperliquid the only coin at ATH against literally every crypto right now. Insane strength. I don't understand how people can just baghold L1 garbage coins (ETH, SOL, etc) that make (effectively) zero revenue and have zero buybacks/burns of their tokens. Meanwhile the Assistance Fund is plowing 99% of daily revenue into spot HYPE buybacks. Once you get it, you get it.

SpontaneousDream

Hyperliquid is the **ONLY** coin that is currently at ATH against BTC and ETH. The protocol made almost over $5 million in revenue today. I have said over and over again that L1 coins like ETH, SOL, etc. are going to get completely eaten away by the only true revenue => buyback flywheel in crypto.

KeyQuality202

I mean if u guys remember , this happened around the same time last year. Then it broke all time highs. I do remember Tom Lee also stating that ETH will drop at the beginning of the year.

No-Inspector8315

Looking at ETH for sideways dynamics with Bitcoin is like claiming your wife gave you and STD because she poked holes in your hooker condoms

Need to be emotionally unattached to the money you're trading with. Which obviously in your scenario would be impossible to do trying to trade with your last dollars. Keep your ETH, we'll likely see a recovery of some degree here soon. The books are way over heated with shorts right now. Get your house & finances in order first, then invest in real, high level education to learn how to do this right way. I failed trading for years and years thinking I could figure it out watching youtube videos. Never going to work.

ETH should be fine

Odysseus_Lannister

Every day was pain. I remember getting my ETH for $85 and thinking "am I a moron?"

BainTrain55

Those people in ETH long ago took a massive risk and it paid off and were rewarded for it. That’s like getting mad at the lottery winner saying it’s a scam because your ticket didn’t win.

almost_rich7

this whole crypto space feels a big scam. holding long term is the stupidest thing without selling, paying tax, taking profits. the real big bosses sold ETH when it was close to $4000 per unit, paid the tax, took the profit spent it on travel, bitches, drugs, cars, nd kept some to rebuy now when its heading towards 1000$ and will do the same when it will go above 3K. me the fucking loser just hold, and see it go up and down and inflation eventually eats it away anyway. next time ETH goes to even just close to 3K if ever I sell all of it and sell all of it. all that 0.2 unit hahahahahaha only worse probably are the ones who buy really high and sell at large loss.

knaks74

Officially in the red with everything but BTC and ETH. I got in to hold till around 2030, I do take profits and re-invest. It’s been worse, not too much blood in the water yet.

tomorrowdog

I was DCA'ing out last year. Felt a bit surreal today scrolling through some early October ETH sales for $4400. Thoughts are with people that got blasted.

bizaroo933

I renember this morning people saying how ‘great’ and ‘strong’ 2k support for ETH was. That aged well. Already at 1.8k and going down for more🤣

Born_Alternative4799

ETH just keeps going lower. Never had more conviction.

Got a good feeling about ETH for the next cycle

AutoModerator

Post is by: Key-Enthusiasm162 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/ethtrader/comments/1qx0ss3/panic_sell/ So I got into ETH in the last week of January. At the time, it honestly felt like a reasonable move , I was thinking of it as a short-term investment and decided to park some of my savings there. I didn’t expect fireworks, but I definitely didn’t expect what followed. Within a week, I was down almost 40%, which is a pretty brutal hit by any standard. The loss feels even more real considering I bought around 5.5 ETH, so the absolute numbers are not small at all. Right now, I’m stuck in that uncomfortable mental space where panic selling feels like the worst possible decision, but holding through this volatility also tests your patience and confidence. Coming from a background where I usually trade conservatively in equities and ETFs, this kind of movement feels almost unreal. I’m used to measured swings, gradual corrections, and some sense of predictability. Crypto, on the other hand, feels like a completely different universe — one that clearly didn’t appreciate my arrival into ETH. What really confuses me is all the talk around this supposed “bull run.” If this is a bull market, it doesn’t look or feel anything like what I’m used to. The emotional whiplash is intense, and it makes you question timing, strategy, and even your own risk tolerance. That said, I’m trying to shift my mindset away from short-term price action. If the long-term thesis for ETH still holds, I’d rather wait it out than lock in a massive loss driven purely by fear. So I’m curious how others approach scenarios like this especially those who come from traditional markets. Is this just the cost of entry into crypto, or a lesson in patience and positioning? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Hyperliquid literally the ONLY coin making all time highs against BTC, ETH, and pretty much everything else.

OkZucchini5351

My heavy losses? I bought 3 BTC back in 2020 when it was at $8k per coin and 39 ETH at $200 per coin. See what I mean, always smartasses invading this place making assumptions when they don't know shit. Bye loser.

Alts have been in a bear market for 3 years already. BTC and ETH got propped up by DATs and the ETFs and that's it

ryencool

hey if it got to 40k id still have a hard time not buying half a bitcoin. It is definitely a rsik, crypto is volitile, and its future is currently uncertain. IT could really pay off though. % years from now people might be saying "rememebr that crash in early 2026? shoulda bought" just like that crash last year that brough ETH to 1800$ before it went back up to 4k+. No one knows, and stating your opinion with any sort of certainty is a fools errand, even with USD atm.

CM19901

Congrats 👍 I got a tiny bit of ETH.

vattenj

Store of value fundamental is still easy to understand when you have fixed bitcoin supply and unlimited fiat money supply, but payment function has been largely replaced by USDT and even ETH due to their speed and other privacy functions. Now dozens of companies are doing chain analysis and bitcoin transactions are almost transparent

BacchusAndHamsa

There is market certainty of what's going on with BTC (and the correlated ETH), it's just crypto fans don't read serious analysts because it violates their biases, instead they read shills who have investment in the stuff. That "$150K in two months" hooey didn't happen. Even JP Morgan's certain two fanbois were harping about "natural support at $94K because mining cost", well BTC fell through that like a bowling ball through crepe paper, hahaha. Real analysts are saying price target of $40K or below.... great buying opportunity but short term long traders must have a life that sucks.

HampurHampur

POS destroyed ETH future. Since POS it’s not even has good ATH in comparing to every other top 10 crypto assets 

Piddler509

I need 3 more months of lows then 2 nice bonus checks which I will be loading up!! BTC, ETH, TAO and AAVE!! That’s my current portfolio and expecting TAO and AAVE to at least triple over the next 5 years?? Maybe… Anyways, been through a couple of these cycles now and I sold a bunch when we had the dip in October. Glad I did but still up a bit and looking forward to hopefully getting these on sale the next 3-6 months. Just hope the cycles continue as they have!!

KoldPurchase

SOL is coming back. I feel it. If I ever make my money back from SOL and ETH I'm out forever.

Flexerrr

Even Vitalik is selling ETH. BTC is the king.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Loyal mETH heads will find a way to justify the move like "well he's the founder, he deserves to make some money off of his scam" lol All of the new narratives and ETH didn't even make a new ATH

Majestic_Owl2618

Ok i am not bot, for years i had part of my money in BTC and ETH, my avr was around 55k. I missed the peak in Oct and sold in Nov at around 93k mark because i needed money. Then i was beating myself whole of Dec and Jan , but now i see that actually my timing wasnt bad. I am now thinking to enter again, may wait a bit. And no i didn’t have $1k invested, not huge amount also but for me it was fair amount, about $40k at peak

biba8163

jawni

1. They've exclusively been poor investments. I know past performance doesn't dictate future performance but I don't think anyone is jumping to invest in them. 2. Token largely not needed, mostly serves for governance and most people don't care about governance, or they don't have enough tokens to really influence governance. 3. The popular L2s aren't very differentiated from each other and they don't have much of a moat. 4. ETH's L2-centric roadmap hasn't worked out that well. It fragments liquidity, introduces more centralization, introduces more instability, and economically isn't sustainable as L2s essentially are pocketing money that probably should be paid to the L1. Even Vitalik has now made a statement on this, validating what a lot of us have been saying for years now. Some of this can be fixed, but the fact that it is still an issue now, means that fixing it is easier said than done. 5. Even if they were L1s, they just wouldn't be that appealing from a fundamentals perspective.

I also think ETH will outperform BTC next cycle

Yeah I thought I read yesterday he had 240,000 ETH. $33 million being 80% of his holdings didn’t make any sense.

oopssomething

This could be just a weird start of alt season. We will see ETH, SOL, XRP do +5% in a day soon.

confusedguy1212

A reminder to everybody that Ethereum is still working on trying to make crypto a real usage rails. When the tide of money comes back in, put it into ETH this time.

MaconBacon01

Selling 13,220 out of 237,324 ETH does not "reduce his ETH holdings by 80%". What a garbage article.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's co-founder, has sold approximately 13,220 ETH worth $33 million, reducing his ETH holdings by 80%. He clarified that the sale aligns with his plan to support Ethereum's ecosystem during a period of 'mild austerity.' The funds, totaling around $45 million, will be used to develop privacy-preserving technologies, open hardware, and secure software over several years. This move reflects Buterin's commitment to Ethereum's long-term growth rather than a lack of confidence in the cryptocurrency. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

ThrowRA-hamburger

this might sound harsh but daily trading to pay rent is a terrible idea, especially when you're stressed. you'll make emotional decisions and get liquidated. sell 2-3 ETH to buy yourself time to find work, stake the rest on something stable or just hold

NatBitty

Need to see ETH, XRP, SOL down another 90% before anything is worth buying. The only future crypto has is 100% BTC.D, or $0.

Fr3d_St4r

Like Bitcoin isn't the crypto index, it makes up 70% of the entire market, excluding stablecoins. ETH makes up another 15% all the other altos together are only 15%

AnusMistakus

except there are 1000s of other coins released every day. BTC, ETH, DOGE, SOL .... the list keeps getting larger and the same money jumps between projects.

sporty_outlook

What are the chances ETH gets back to ath? 

thechadledger

I agree. I believe we will see BTC around that mark and SOL between $70-$75. Honestly I don’t like the fees on ETH so I don’t hold any.

Glittering_Pick_9738

I see you are ETH bag holder. You'd better worry about Vitalik selling. He really did that lately (again!).

RaskyBukowski

Yeah. I sold the last of my bitcoin today, my guess is 2 years from now I'll buy it and maybe ETH again. I'm totally out of crypto. I used to be in about 10 of them.

Willing_Gas7868

Fair take. Crypto is just a higher-beta part of the same macro sell-off. When rates, tariffs, and global uncertainty spike, risk assets dump together and crypto gets hit the hardest. Your framing makes sense: if you need the money, de-risk; if not, don’t panic trade. BTC for relative stability in crypto, ETH for balanced exposure, SOL if you’re comfortable with extreme risk. The key issue isn’t “crypto is dead,” it’s that we’re in a messy macro regime with no clear floor yet.

Loose_Development_24

moonRekt

I get why Bitcoin is dropping but why is Ethereum dropping harder? Seems to me ETH and XRP should be low key outperforming as we drop

b1mm3rl1f3

$69k-$74k, a former resistance turned support zone. The sell off is intensifying, down 46% from ATH's, but the volatility feels oddly comforting. It’s what BTC used to do before the stagnancy. People were fleeing in Dec 2018, people were fleeing in 2021 and people are fleeing now. But every dip eventually becomes unrecognizable. The last time ETH was this oversold it went on to rally 300% in 2 months. BTC hit an ATH in April 2021 and fell 55% by July, only to short squeeze and rally 140%+ over the next 6 months. If it isn't in 2026, it'll be 2027

CM19901

How far will ETH fall? 🤔

dmadmin

BTC Bottom at 48k to 54k ETH at 1500 to 1800 even if we go up now, we are still in bear cycle until those numbers start to appear.

Absolutely do not day trade with your last bits of money if you do not have a job. Sell the ETH if you need it to live.

jlwapple

True. I'm paying attention to BTC, XMR, AAVE & ETH. What about you?

shaneween

I guess you’re almost right since its got to $86 right now. I just don’t know how much SOL/BTC/ETH will go lower before we hit the bottom. I’m interested in SOL and ETH and its at $86 and $2000. Should I take the dive now?

longtestgame

in leaked emails, tom lee was telling his customers ETH will drop sub 2000

Knerris

ETH almost REKT.

Legal-Net-4909

ETH falling to 1,200 would probably require a wider risk off move, like macro stress, equities selling off hard, or a major crypto specific shock. We’ve seen ETH drop 70 to 80 percent in past cycles, so the math checks out.

jawni

Well if I was starting from scratch I'd buy SOL (50%), ETH (25%), BTC (25%). But since I own those already, now I'm looking at: ENA, HYPE, PUMP. If I go for small caps: CARDS, AVICI, AIXBT

jawni

>SOL is bleeding pretty damn bad. yeah, that's the point behind this thread, everything is cheap, meaning unless the corresponding fundamentals dropped as much as the price, then it should be a more attractive asset. Solana is far and away the most competitive chain to ETH, it took the opposite approach to scaling which now looks even smarter as Vitalik is questioning the execution ETH's L2-centric roadmap, onchain metrics are already top of the industry but even then they've been improving, tradfi inflows are steady, RWA adoption continues to increase, Solana is still the preferred chain for most project launches and is generally the first place where emerging narratives and use cases proliferate(AI agents, DePIN, etc). Not to mention we're now 2 years away from the last outage, and since then 10+ other chains have had downtime(mostly ETH L2s and Sui), yet no one cares. New L1s have popped up, but none of them have really gained any traction. You had Plasma launched by Tether, Monad super hyped up, Tempo, Keeta, none of these are really doing anything, so it seems clear that the networks effects of Ethereum and Solana have given them a strong moat. I can't see any new L1s challenging them if the recent launches are trending this way and I doubt any old L1s will catch up. Outside of Solana lacking a more competitive perps protocol, there isn't really much specific weakness in the ecosystem. Solana has been steadily progressing towards the original North star of "decentralized NASDAQ", teams from other networks understand how important Solana is and now even L1 coins like MON, ZEC are getting put on Solana. Coinbase/Base has upped their Solana support, devs from Near(who are very respected) made SolSwap. Even if you kind of bearish on crypto in general, you should be extremely bullish on Solana relative to the industry IMO.

hodler1992

It can go sideways for years. Look at ETH between 2021 and 2025 or BTC from 2022 to 2024

Necessary-Nature-380

I wouldn't worry about that too much and remember he sold around $2million couple years back. And ETH peaked close to it's ATH since then. Even he knows there's nothing that can be done when large institutions are FUDing the system, so it's actually better for him to protect his assets... We all know this is a bear market, buying now like Saylor only encourages the selling pressure (and even he has stopped buying for now)...

brianed

1200-1500 is a certainty at this point. People who think otherwise are just maxis or new here. During bear markets ETH gets absolutely destroyed, usually it drops 1.5x-2x what BTC drops. So, for a 1200 ETH you need BTC at about $48k which is just below the 200W average. 

longonbtc

Not that it really matters, but ETH is much lower than 2022 if you price it against BTC: https://i.redd.it/6ohd4f45wfhg1.png P.S. - Altcoins are off topic in this subreddit. Hopefully you get your coins for 30k a pop and you don't miss out on loading up :)
