ETH is an indirect play, but all stablecoins boost Ethereum network activity and liquidity, and ultimately trickles down to ETH price. Essentially, if stablecoin volume and liquidity remains largely on Ethereum or Ethereum L2s, and continues to grow as it has been, then the ETH staking yield becomes very much like a bond to offset onchain capital risk for trading firms and institutions. So a lot of DeFi players will hold and stake ETH to generate that yield which they can convert to stablecoins to manage positions. For example, stock trading is now happening on Robinhood's L2 through Uniswap. So the DeFi circular economy is slowly integrating into the real world, and as it does, it starts being less circular, and ETH yield starts looking very attractive to large players and financial institutions to manage real financial asset positions onchain.

That's a heck a jump in. My total crypto exposure is still less than 1 percent of investments. I just use my play money and my lady at Edward Jones handles the rest. Should be accumulating a bit using DCA, but as fast as other investments are growing, it'll always be a fraction unless BTC, ETH, XRP or XLM blow up (preferably all of them). At least you are getting in at a good time.

Bitcoin and maybe ETH and a couple of others if they are lucky. It could turn around and I see all the hope and how it was in 22 but I have been doing it since 2013 , Etrade acted like I was buying a pyramid scheme and wouldn’t get them when they were $50-200. My uncle, PHD economist couldn’t or wouldn’t wrap his head around it I saw the opportunity from the chart alone. And also I heard somewhere that bitcoin will be a million dollars someday . Whst I loved about bitcoin was the low float , 22 million that brilliant guy who started it all…. But yea I sit here and I don’t fret about it much but I do curse Etrade for not getting me 20 coins for $1000. The only other 1000 x investment I know of is NVDA PS I should have tried much harder to get those coins but they were taboo back then. I SHOULD have worked harder for 20 coins but no one had any Edith . I saw the chart and the low float but here I am with 0.0

I can see QNT - Quant gain much more value in some 10 years time. Not only is it an overledger technology that is ISO compliant, it has also a great ex-HSBC guy behind it as well as the number of tokens is lower than BTC. But from the more known ones, my money is on HBAR, SOL, ETH, maybe XRP and of course BTC.

Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1umk2g7/are_cbdcs_quietly_becoming_the_biggest_macro/ The most underpriced macro story in crypto right now is that 146 countries representing over 98% of global GDP are actively exploring CBDCs, per the Atlantic Council’s May 2026 tracker. What’s changed in the last year is pace and intent. We’ve moved from “research papers” to pilots and early infrastructure. China is clearly furthest along with the digital yuan already live in dozens of cities and integrated into major apps. The ECB is in the “preparation phase” of a digital euro, with legislative groundwork underway. The Fed is slower and more cautious, emphasizing that any US CBDC would require Congressional authorization, but it’s also quietly building the rails via FedNow and publishing detailed CBDC research updates. Emerging markets are where the real experimentation is happening: the Bahamas, Nigeria (despite adoption issues), Jamaica, and several Caribbean nations already have live CBDCs, and large EMs are testing cross‑border CBDC corridors to reduce dollar reliance in trade and settlements. For crypto, I see two key implications. First, CBDCs formalize the “digital panopticon” version of money: programmable, traceable, and potentially subject to granular controls (eligibility, spending categories, expirations). Central banks and the IMF openly discuss using CBDCs for more efficient capital controls, real-time tax collection, and negative-rate transmission. That doesn’t mean instant dystopia, but it does mean the direction of travel is toward more state control over payment rails at the same time fiscal pressures (aging, deficits, deglobalization) push governments toward stealthier forms of financial repression. Second, this accelerates the need for a neutral, bearer-style asset outside the system. If cross‑border CBDCs plus sanctions fatigue keep eroding the dollar’s dominance at the margin, I expect more institutions to treat Bitcoin as a parallel reserve/hedge – the ETF flows this year already show that behavior starting. Because of that, my own response has been boring and consistent: stay long quality (BTC, some ETH), assume CBDCs will coexist with crypto, and focus on exit ramps. With CBDCs accelerating, 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 and I still use Coinbase as the cleanest, most compliant US on/off-ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is thinking about CBDC risk and surveillance in their allocation. Are you actually sizing positions differently, or treating this as background noise? Ledger and Coinbase links are affiliate links. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ETH -> WBTC via. Uniswap -> Redeem WBTC via. BitGo is likely cheapest, but will require dox on the BitGo offramp and not decentralized that way. Have you tried feathering smaller amounts through Thorswap? Been a while since I've used it. Might also be worth to find a local OTC counterparty and do the transaction in person if you can find somebody who wants your ETH. Following to see if others have some other creative options, good luck.

tw_wombat

Some of their early "investments" were not stable. It's not clear how much they made or lost. And what's the implications on tax or fines they have to pay (And to who?). Right now the only thing for sure is they can withstand larger bankrun than any 5 banks combined you name it. And no one bother/able testing this theory because what's the benefit? In a sense a 100% bankrun might actually be great for them. So they can retire not telling anyone about the profits. But I am sure it will trigger massive crypto devaluation and bankruptcy for more entities like MSTR or even banks and Treasury. Not only BTC and ETH will dip, bonds too given they are "THE" largest holder.

BioRobotTch

ETH is planning for the post-quantum era, it likely survives. BTC with current blockspace limits would take close to a year to 'rekey' all 50k accounts to post-quantum cryptographic schemes for signatures, If every block was full of users migrating their accounts to new keys. It isn't too late for BTC but it will be in a couple of years. Worrying about Satoshi's coins is the least of BTC's worries.

Cryptomuscom

BTC and ETH are the easy answers here, everything else is a gamble for that timeframe

zorakpwns

Bitcoin is “store of vibes” value. ETH and Solana are actual tech stacks with utility other than “store value move money”. Most organizations don’t seem comfortable building on blockchain infrastructure and prefer traditional cloud stacks like Azure/AWS for apps.

Nonsense, the Solana team is doing everything it can to scale it to for quick, reliable, cheap transactions. That is all I have witnessed. While ETH is getting cheaper, it is still slower and more expensive then SOL

CyberCrud

You can try it but you're likely to be disappointed.  Mining used to make actual money back in the day.  I made like $8k in ETH over a summer.  But those days are gone.  You're mining for dust now.  If your electricity is free you might make a buck.  If it's not, your electricity bill will put you into debt like you're in your 6th year of college.  🤣

Alatarlhun

I accept that was your experience. You should accept that Solana doesn't scale and would cost more than ETH with the same amount of use.

Alatarlhun

Hi Account Hiding Your Post History indicating you are a bot: Solana doesn't scale, is more expensive than ETH ($10 during Trumpcoin launch), drops transactions when overloaded, and the vast bulk of developer attention and TVL is on Ethereum.

not like ETH has performed much better since the NFT-craze is over. No current use-case for tokens imho.

BigPlayCrypto

Lmao it’s going to be a huge rug pull. Remember that when ETH runs up to $5,500 or more they will take profits. Honestly with big money all you need is a 30% gain and you can exit.

To reach a price of $95,000 per token based on your parameters, Ethereum's market capitalization would need to grow to **$11.34 trillion** (assuming its current circulating supply remains completely unchanged). **The Breakdown** **Current Implied Supply:** $191 billion ÷ $1,600 = **119,375,000 ETH** **Target Market Cap Calculation:** 119,375,000 ETH × $95,000 = **$11,340,625,000,000** ($11.34 Trillion) **Today's Bitcoin Market Cap** Today, Bitcoin (BTC) holds a live market capitalization of approximately **$1.19 trillion**,

RegularSwiss

Lol how is this like one of the only downvoted comments on this page. Elon Musk basically owns the world and probably soon the solar system. I swear looking back on 3 years of this subreddit, it's all aged terribly too. Like 3 years ago everyone saying to buy ETH and other shitty coins and talking about their use cases (16 years in crypto and I still have no idea what any actual use case for ETH is haha. Any supposed list of them just seems like ai nonsense or something. As far as I can tell, any major company that actually uses Ethereum is just a company who has something to gain from selling it to you as well.) and not mentioning actual cool ones once like Solana even tho at that point Solana was already known for going up like crazy. People talking about how an IPO that net them 20% in a day is a lot when they are into crypto. Makes no sense haha. If you are into Crypto your best day probably should have been something like +10,000% because the rest of your days probably aren't very good, this stuff is great at just going up really fast at once but then grinding down slowly haha. No idea why this sub started getting recommended to me haha.

Mariahausfrau

ETH is alt like it or not. BTC is BTC and everything else is alts and they follow BTC. Just hold it many years enough and you realize BTC is the only choice.

viberama977

ETH too tied to BTC price. BTC is a shitshow right now, so ETH will suffer because of BTC.

Jave3636

Some would lump ETH into it, but basically yes. 

JohnnyStrides

Bag holding? My ACB in ETH is $450 and on BTC is under $1K ;) I've been in this a very long time. There could be a total crypto collapse and I'd still be in the green. You sure aren't that bright eh

JohnnyStrides

Why would I sell my BTC? It's the only coin that's actually doing anything meaningful. I have a few ETH I should probably unload but my ACB is so low I might as well ride it out. I certainly won't be stupid enough to buy any alts, that ship sailed long ago.

JohnnyStrides

Crypto has been around for how long now and has revolutionized exactly... nothing? Still waiting on XRP and ETH and the 10 billion shitcoins to do anything worth a damn. Any day now... any day.

BigMeatyProlapse

Congrats man, this exactly mirrors my timeline with BTC and ETH. Bought around 35K and 1.575K average prices per coin, respectively, and sold in November around 120K and 3.8K. Seven figure profit. Nobody wants to here it but I am out for good and expect a BTC low of 45K. Don't even care about ETH at this point, nothing but BTC matters for speculation or usefulness (ie money laundering).

No, clearly. > AI bubble will eventually come and take down markets. And then the stock market will slowly recover, and fortunes will be made. If you believe in the bubble, and I really don’t, but if you do, be ready to buy the pop. Tech stocks will always recover, ETH who knows, it’s suppose to be a tool with utility, not a speculative instrument.

Any_South_6437

this is the game the rich "really" play. first, they buy a big bag of silver, bitcoin, gold or ETH. next, they advertise to the world that they had bought, making speculative investors feel like they also need to buy. and lastly, he dumps on all the new investors and exits his positions on a +50% profit or more, because they all position themselves with leverage before the marketing starts. this is why you never buy anything based on news. it's all a scam and a game they play, so fuck kiyosaki and anyone else who plays these dumb games.

GranzJ473

for a one-off OTC settlement I usually just run the counterparty wallet through a couple of on-chain explorers before sending. Etherscan for ETH/USDC, mempool.space for BTC. the flags I look for are recent interaction with known mixer addresses, very young wallet age, or a transaction graph that's a one-hop from a flagged exchange withdrawal. paranoia is reasonable for large OTC amounts.

Solid-Individual-913

Large unrealized gains on ETH. Yes. You are right but Im a dumb gambler. I cant deny that.

RWA_Maxi_1

The dominance of ETH is really getting challenges with new incumbents and all Layer 2 have basically not lived up to standard.

Backrus

They can't coexist because no compliance team will allow random validators to handle big institutions business. Good example in smaller scale is ETH L2s which was and still is a disaster, but even here you got ONE clear winner (Arbitrum and HyperEVM). You have no idea how financial institutions and their world work.

No-Tackle-8652

To everyone who has been part of our journey: It is with a heavy heart that we write this letter. Loopring was born from a pure cypherpunk vision – we were coders who believed that zero‑knowledge proofs could scale Ethereum. We poured countless late nights into building the very first zkRollup on the market. That achievement still fills us with pride. But today, we must face reality and announce, with deep regret, that Loopring DEX will cease all trading services effective immediately. The relayer goes offline right now. This is not a decision we made lightly. We tried, we fought, but eventually we have to accept that it is time to say goodbye. Why we are closing To be honest, Loopring never gained meaningful adoption. As the first zkRollup, we lacked a virtual machine – no composability, no real‑world payment use cases. That limitation kept our ecosystem from growing. We are engineers at heart, not business operators. We excel at writing code, but we never developed the passion or skills for business development. External pressures – including major exchange delistings of LRC in 2026 – only accelerated the inevitable. Most painfully, the technology we pioneered has been outpaced. Modern zkEVM solutions are fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts, while our specialised architecture now feels obsolete. Rather than running a hollow service, we choose to end it gracefully. Your assets are safe – we will send them to you directly We designed Loopring with user protection in mind, and we have decided to take a more direct, user‑friendly route to return all assets. Instead of asking you to generate and submit Merkle proofs yourself – which can be technically challenging – we will handle everything on our side. We acknowledge that this approach is more centralised than the original self‑custody exit mechanism. However, we believe it is the fairest and most hassle‑free way for our users: you will receive your full funds without needing to perform any on‑chain operations, pay gas fees, or worry about proof formats. We will cover all transaction costs. The process – simple and clear 1. We publish final balances – In the coming days, we will calculate and publish a complete list of every user’s final balance on Loopring L2. The downloadable list will be made available via a link shared on X (formerly Twitter). The list includes: - All spot balances (ETH and ERC‑20 tokens). - All liquidity pool (AMM) positions, which we will automatically convert to their underlying token equivalents at the time of shutdown. You do not need to redeem your LP tokens yourself – we will handle that conversion and include the resulting assets in your final balance. 2. Contract upgrade for centralised distribution – We will upgrade the Loopring DEX smart contract to a version that only allows whitelisted addresses (controlled by us) to transfer assets out of the L2 system. This upgrade is necessary to enable batch distributions and prevent any interference. 3. Two‑week review period – The final balance list will remain publicly accessible for two weeks. During this time, you can review your balance and contact us if you spot any discrepancy. 4. Batch distribution begins – After the two‑week review period ends, we will start sending assets in batches directly to your L1 wallet address (the Ethereum address associated with your Loopring L2 account). Only accounts with a total final balance valued at **$10 USD or more** will be included in the distribution; smaller balances will be excluded to keep the process efficient. You do not need to take any action. We expect the entire distribution process to be completed within a few weeks after it starts. We will provide status updates on X/Twitter. Help and support If you have questions about your balance or the distribution process, you can email us at help@loopring.org. This email will become active once the final balance list is published. We will do our best to respond promptly. A final word We are truly sorry that this journey ends here. We remain grateful to every user who trusted us, even for a moment. We hope that the zero‑knowledge technology we helped pioneer will live on in other projects, even as our own chapter closes. It is time to say goodbye. With sincere regret and gratitude, The Loopring Team 28 June 2026

Post is by: SatoshiCryptoI and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ui7f93/we_got_tired_of_paid_crypto_signal_groups_so_we/ A few months ago, my friend and I finally got tired of the usual nonsense crypto traders have to deal with. We were fed up with Telegram groups where bots vanish after making a few bad predictions, monthly subscriptions that keep taking your money even when the signals are useless, and websites that hide everything helpful behind a paywall. Instead of looking for another service to join, we decided to build our own. For the past few months, we have been working on a Windows desktop app that analyzes the market and sends signals to your personal Telegram bot. There is no cloud storage or data collection involved; once you install it, the software is entirely yours. The beta is available now and includes real-time market analysis for popular coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, and several others. It uses AI to generate signals and provides the Fear and Greed Index, a confidence indicator for each signal, and recommended entry zones. It sends automatic notifications directly to your Telegram bot. We are still updating it almost every day. Our next steps include adding support for more coins, improving the filters for false signals, and adding risk management tools. We also plan to add exchange API integration and backtesting statistics. Right now, the app is completely free to use with no subscriptions. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Clear_Hawk_6187

Let me guess - 95% BTC and 5% ETH? Judging by the style of your comments I doubt you ever had a conversation with financial advisor or anyone who sat near him in the queue. Am I wrong?

Serenaded

BTC has peaked, everyone is out, ticking timebomb because of quantum computing. AFAIK, ETH is the only other asset in crypto that institutions are aggressively purchasing under classic Wyckoff (BMNR, VanEck, SBET, etc). Last cycle was different in that only BTC pumped, I think this time it's going to be Ethereum.

Bilatsibagya

That seller was a scammer. Maybe they offered you a very good price for ETH, which is why you rushed to pay. You've been dealing with P2P for a long time, you should know better.

neofort

Partially agree. While a lot of crypto assets will probably never recover, many were already dead/shitcoins, so culling the herd is a healthy development. I see a shift of focus toward projects that have real-world use cases, think tokenization, stablecoins, and compliant privacy layers. Also, the chains that will eventually power our financial system will survive, such as ETH and SOL. Just my two cents.

Plus-Tangerine2186

The painful part is that Binance closing the dispute is actually correct, and understanding why is the real lesson here. P2P escrow only covers what happens inside the platform. The moment the seller moved you to Payeer with "my bank is blocked," the trade left escrow entirely, so there was nothing for Binance to release or claw back. The ETH was never the thing in dispute, your euros just walked out of the system on their own. That "bank blocked, pay via [other rail] instead" line isn't a one-off. It's the standard P2P script precisely because it breaks escrow. The one rule that prevents all of it: if a counterparty ever asks you to pay or move the chat off the platform, the trade is dead, no exceptions. Anything off-escrow has zero recourse by design, not by Binance being unfair. Sorry it cost 40k to learn. Reporting the Payeer account and the seller's Binance ID to both platforms is still worth doing even if recovery is unlikely, it builds the paper trail.

Timely-Fig2030

ETH is the goat, sir ✌️

UnreliablePotato

Gangaman666

BTC will survive and thrive as usual. XMR will thrive as we lose our privacy more and more and people realise moneros benefits. I'm not so sure about 90% of the random shit coins though, perhaps ETH will survive too as it has institutional backing. So I partially agree.

Aanetz

ETH, TON because telegram isn't going away. Hyperliquid because defi trading is still big. XMR is definitely getting bigger in the future because the surveillance state is upon us all.

Post is by: Educational_Cable405 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1uhvrih/my_month_end_pnl_never_matches_because_i_trade/ Every end of month I try to work out if I actually made money and it turns into a mess. I trade out of a few different wallets, kind of evolved that way, one I started on, one I moved to when I wanted some trades kept separate from my longer holds, plus a cold one I only send profit to. None of the trackers I tried add it up the way I think about it, so I end up in a spreadsheet pulling fills by hand and I always miss something, a transfer in or some funding I paid. Last month I was sure my ETH long was green, then I added up the funding I'd bled holding it across two wallets and it was actually a small loss. Felt great until the math. Curious how people with more than one trading wallet actually track this. Do you eyeball it per wallet, run a tracker that handles it, or did you give up and lump it all into one? And if you keep them split, what made you split in the first place. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Who would want the global financial system running on bitcoin? Not bitcoiners, that's for sure. If you're curious, "smart contract" platforms (such as ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, ADA, etc...) could (And are starting to) handle that.

Aoi_Haru

Years in crypto have teached me it’s all bullshit. The “cycle” isn’t different from all the other economic ones and the halving seems almost irrelevant. Also, it’s not “crypto” but Bitcoin. And even Bitcoin’s performance is laughable. Like, 2023/24 are green years that can be commented with a “we’re so back”? Lol. Lmao, even. What has Bitcoin done? A 2X? And now it’s back to the price point it reached 4 years ago? What have stocks done in the meantime? Good industries/companies (because yes, we’re talking about real entities which offer a real product) have never been down in the meantime. Sure, everything could fall down with a major economic event (Bitcoin included) but eventually they’ll start going up again. I’ve stocks that went 200% up in price in 4 months. And the cool thing about them it’s their predictable, to an extent, because it’s linked to utility and demand. Crypto? Bleah. Why am I keeping ETH or Solana? It’s just pure faith and their price being linked to daddy Bitcoin’s price. Which is based solely on scarcity.

scottemick

I had the same problem with Changelly and never got my money back. I had DAI from SImpleSwap, Changelly kept it over 2 years ago. I showed them proof from SimpleSwap that I obtained it by swapping out ETH. Can't trust CEX's. At least coinbase is in the USA you can complain to their supervising authority as an MSB and also CPFB, though I am pretty sure Trump Republicans took away CPFB's power to do anything. You may have to sue them.

Solid-Individual-913

I gave up on ETH but the problem is Im afraid to face the IRS with the large gains from buying in the 2017-2018 period

Glass_Ad_2518

I lost like $3K on XRP, SOL, and ETH, and I just watched SYRUP do like +30% in a week after I said it was too risky. I'm the Jim Cramer of crypto. 

LTP-N

Doesn't matter what you think either. All crypto is useless and we're all out here gambling, get off your high horse, you don't know any more or less than the rest of us. Before you cry and reply saying I'm salty because I obviously hold alt coins, correct, but my gamblings are 50% BTC, 30% ETH, 10% XTZ and 10% ZEC.

Historical_Blood_408

the "taking profit vs needing liquidity" split is a good distinction — people conflate those and they're genuinely different decisions. borrowing against the position has a tax logic to it, but it adds liquidation risk right when alts are most volatile, which is the opposite of what i want near a top. how do you think about that liq risk — only borrow against BTC/ETH, or against alts too?

Educational_Cable405

It's not useless, it's underspecified. Dominance going up can mean BTC is pumping or it can mean alts are bleeding out faster than BTC, two totally opposite tapes, and the single line won't tell you which one is happening. I never read it alone, I put it next to total2 or just an ETH/BTC chart so I know which leg is actually moving. By itself it's noise, paired up it's a decent filter for whether I should be holding alts at all that week.

Mundane-Context-3979

BTC and ETH from now easily 4x and 6x, but neither will 2x in a week like an alt might. I believe alts are pure gambles and I am happy with my 3 year 4x+ these days

-Rhymenocerous-

My City & Guilds qualification is verified via ETH Block chain. I sold all my crpyto at the height of the last huge bull run in the pandemic. Sat a course (WH004) recently and when the cert came through and it said it was verified via xxx block with a key ID I was actually pretty happy to see some real world adoption and use.

coindigest

Honest take: the four-year cycle was never magic, it was three things stacking, the halving supply shock, retail FOMO, and leverage blowing up on a rough timer. The reason it might genuinely be breaking is that the halving matters less every single time. The block reward is now tiny next to the coins already in circulation, so the "supply shock" is mathematically weaker each cycle while ETF and institutional flows have become the thing actually moving price. Those flows don't run on a four-year clock, they run on macro liquidity and allocation decisions. So I'd push back gently on the framing: "cycle is dead" doesn't automatically mean "up only with alts pumping." It more likely means longer, choppier, macro-driven moves instead of the clean parabola-then-crash we got used to. Which lines up with what a lot of people are feeling, that this stretch doesn't rhyme with the old ones. On the alt pump specifically, I'd temper that. Liquidity is now spread across thousands of tokens and ETFs are funnelling flow into BTC and ETH, so a broad 2021-style alt season is structurally harder to pull off than it used to be. Could still happen in pockets, but "everything pumps" is a tougher ask now. Nobody actually knows, including me. But if the old clock is breaking, the move is to stop watching the calendar and start watching liquidity and flows. That's the signal that's actually driving this thing now.

I run a small monthly DCA into BTC and a bit of ETH . Trying to work out the least painful place to land. Kraken Pro keeps coming up for low fees, Trade Republic for handling the tax side automatically, and a few EU brokers for staying inside the regulated bracket. Each seems to trade off something, fees versus tax handling versus how much actually stays under EU rules. For anyone in the EU who already jumped, what did you pick and why, and did the transfer itself cost much? Mostly want something regulated here that I can set. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

There are. ETH is useful for smart contracts. ZEC and XMR provide privacy on transactions. HYPE is kinda like a stock, like binance and coinbase stock. Just to name a few. But true for the average coin, there is none…yet people throw money at it. When a 5 min google search would tell you that, the thing you are paying for is worthless.

There are good alts, ETH, TAO, HYPE are good. ZEC kinda is too. But I agree. Most are trash, if people researched a bit before throwing money at it, they would so much better!

BTC right now it’s basically a high beta tech stock. When people want risk assets with great return they pile in…else they sell or don’t care about it. Honestly most crypto it’s based on hoping for a greater fool to buy off you at a better price. That’s why meme coins are a thing. Meanwhile stuff like HYPE, ETH, TAO doesn’t get as much love as I think they deserve. They bring interesting stuff to the table!

All the main blockchains be good picks: SUI, ICP, Algo, VET, XLM, ETH, ADA, etc. Opened yesterday a post on CryptoCurrencies about it: 4.3k views, 0 likes These idiots still think blockchains are dead and want to gamble memecoins. Little do they know, that there are no memecoins without blockchains. The space has become so dumb and uneuphoric that now might be the best time to enter goat blockchains. Btw, fuck memecoins!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
