100%. This time I had ETH as 30% of my portfolio, next time it's BTC only. I did make money on it, but would have been much better off with just BTC.

I usually rotate between a few apps but OpenSea definitely cracks the list for me when it comes to buying and swapping crypto. It covers multiple blockchains like ETH and Base, and having wallet-based trading means I control my keys without handing them over to any platform.

Dusi99

Yeah, I know the struggle. I usually stick to self custody apps on my phone, Electrum for BTC, Phantom for SOL, Rainbow for ETH. Makes sending or swapping quick without digging around. For seed phrases, I keep one copy in a secure offline password manager and another physical backup somewhere safe😅 And if I just want to swap or earn a little without moving everything, Nexo is super convenient. Still, my main holdings always stay in my own wallets.

Don't mess with leverage. Just buy and hold Spot.... By "LOST" I am assuming you bought during the hype and excitement, and then sold in the fear at the lows? When things are way down is a terrible time to sell... Many of us have watched or folios drop significantly... Despite Crypto seeing Institutions buy in.... They were never going to buy the top.... If $1m buys you 7BTC or 300k XRP or 200 ETH, then they would much rather see their buying power rake in much more for their $$$$... now that $1m buys 15BTC, 800K XRP or 500 ETH... all while early investors lose hope and panic sell... New retail will buy back in on hype, while whales profits big

Going 40% short ETH with 27 FEB 26 futures at $2113.50 has been a great move so far. P&L well in the green, intraday margin ratio is a low 6.0%, and intraday liquidation is a ridiculous $4179.40.

This is exactly where the "Hype" meets the "Balance Sheet," and your observation about **Bitmine** (BMNR) is the perfect Case Study for the **SilkFilter** protocol. As of February 2026, Bitmine isn't just "buying a dip"—they are attempting to corner **3.5% of the total Ethereum supply** (about 4.3 million ETH). On paper, they are sitting on over **$6 billion in unrealized losses** because ETH dropped from its 2025 highs toward the $2,100 range. But look at their logic: they aren't "trading"; they are building an **Industrial Staking Engine**. This directly connects to the "Consolidation Phase" we are seeing right now. 100%. #

No, I have a strategy in mind. I'm delta 60 until 1236 for ETH, at which point I'd profit stop the P&L and use the proceeds to buy more ETH and go net long again.

Every cycle, there’s always a new narrative, new hype sectors, and a different set of coins people believe will outperform. But when you zoom out, a lot of the people who actually make it through multiple cycles seem to rely on simple strategies like consistently DCAing into projects they have real conviction in. So I’m curious how others here are approaching the next cycle. From now until the next bull run, which coins are you actually DCAing into? Not short-term flips or meme coins you hope will pump next week, but projects you genuinely believe will still be relevant, liquid, and actively used in the next cycle. Are you sticking mostly with BTC and ETH because of their track record and institutional adoption? Or are you allocating more into other majors like SOL, LINK, or newer ecosystems that you think have better upside? Also interested in how people are thinking about narratives. Each cycle seems to revolve around a dominant theme—DeFi, NFTs, L2s, AI, DePIN, RWA, and so on. Are you building your DCA strategy around specific narratives you believe will lead the next bull market, or are you focusing more on fundamentals regardless of the current hype? For context, I’m currently DCAing into BTC, BNB, and SOL as my core positions. On top of that, I keep a separate watchlist of projects I’m still observing before committing more capital. My current watchlist includes: HYPE / ASTER MONAD / MEGAETH CANTO Palsama / Stable-related plays Would be great to hear: Which coins you’re DCAing into Rough allocation or strategy (if you’re comfortable sharing) Your expected time horizon (next bull run, next halving) Any projects you’re watching but not yet buying Curious to see where the community’s conviction really sits going into the next cycle. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

You refer to it as an investment but it actual sounds like you gambled on Alts and lost. There are very few coins worthy of being called an investment BTC, ETH being the bigger ones imo. If you didnt buy those, you didnt invest anything. You played the crypto casino and the house won.

It really depends on what you hold. If you bought meme coins then, well, I wouldn’t want to tell anyone either. Keep your crypto bag, but start investing into Bitcoin or ETH. Over time you will make your losses back.

MongolianMango

Just buy Bitcoin or ETH, everything else is unreliable. Or buy gold or the S+P.

RadiantWarden

At a glance this looks diversified, but in practice it’s a very concentrated bet on one thing: continued risk-on crypto conditions. BTC, ETH, SOL, RNDR, and TIA are all highly correlated in drawdowns. In a real bear market, this isn’t five positions, it’s essentially one trade with different labels. BTC and ETH as a combined 60 percent is reasonable for a long-term horizon, but even those aren’t risk-free. Bitcoin still carries headline and trust risk in a way traditional assets don’t. Markets don’t wait for nuance if new information or investigations resurface, they react first. Ethereum has its own long-standing issues people tend to gloss over: governance concentration, validator centralization, repeated monetary policy changes, and regulatory uncertainty. None of that means either asset is doomed, but it does mean blind set-and-forget thinking is risky. The bigger red flag is SOL at 25 percent. That’s not a conservative allocation, that’s a high-beta conviction bet. If SOL underperforms or runs into another structural issue, a quarter of the portfolio takes the hit immediately. Render and Celestia are fine projects, but they’re narrative-driven. AI and modular chains do very well when liquidity is abundant and sentiment is strong, and they bleed hard when it isn’t. Those work better as satellite positions than core holdings. For a true long-term portfolio, structure matters more than the specific coin list. A healthier approach is to think in layers: A heavy BTC and ETH core One high-conviction L1 or infrastructure play capped around 10 to 15 percent Smaller narrative bets at 3 to 5 percent each And ideally some dry powder so you’re not forced to buy tops or sell into drawdowns Nothing wrong with liking these assets. The question isn’t whether they’re “good projects,” it’s what role each one plays when the cycle turns and things aren’t green anymore. If you can’t explain how the portfolio behaves in a 60 to 70 percent drawdown, it’s probably taking more risk than it looks.

> muh, fundamentals, stablecoins, RWA, fee revenue, undervalued, blah blah If people really believed this they would NOT be shilling ETH. Reminder that crypto is entirely speculative, none of this matters and everything pretty much follows BTC movements. - ETH marketcap is ~9X that of TRON - TRON's fee revenue is ~3X that of ETH - TRON's inflation rate is almost 1/2 of that of ETH

AInception

You never heard the elders say Doge is a memecoin? It was $0.0002 for most of its life.. It was NEVER supposed to have any value, value defeats its entire purpose for existing. It was basically the Buttcoin coin, invented to parody cryptocurrency. The only reason it blew up is because people became that jaded over everything. Plus years of market manipulation from Musk during an unprecedented stimulus/inflation led run up when everyone was mandated to stay in their homes. It was a one-off. I mean, you had a bunch of Gen X who can't figure out email to save their life buying it and calling it Dodge or Doggy coin lol. There are 1000 safer and easier ways to make a bag in these markets without gambling on dead memes. A 3X short on ETH or BTC with trailing stop-losses would've been pretty smart in this environment with far less risk. Ride the tide. I fully expect Doge to fall below 1c again in the next year or two. But I've been wrong lots in these markets so you do you man.

hoppeeness

I mean most of the commenters are comparing Hedera and BTC….that by itself shows ignorance in the use cases. At least ETH or something with utility.

PanicRadar007

The sentiment angle is worth watching here. Fear & Greed is sitting at 9 right now — deep extreme fear — and BTC is down about 24% over the last 30 days. Across crypto forums the bull/bear ratio in the last 24h is roughly 0.36, so bears outnumber bulls about 3:1. Historically that kind of extreme fear has been a better time to accumulate than sell, but that's more of a general market observation. The ETH-specific structural question is separate — ETH can be cheap on a sentiment basis while still losing ground to BTC long-term. I'd watch whether the ratio holds 0.027-0.028 through this fear cycle. If it doesn't bounce even when general sentiment recovers, that tells you something about the structural decline question.

GPThought

60% BTC/ETH is solid for a 5-year horizon - those are the only two with real Lindy effect working in their favor. The 25% SOL is aggressive but defensible if you believe in the high-throughput L1 thesis. My only caution on Render and Celestia: 7.5% each means you need them to 10x+ just to meaningfully impact returns. Consider whether that slot is worth the cognitive overhead of tracking them.

SteadyGridProfits

Honestly… I’ve been in crypto for over 12 years, and I’ll share some hard-earned wisdom. I truly wish I had known back then what I know now. Stick to BTC and ETH first. Once those are covered and you’re generating residual income, then you branch out. Anything else and you’re spreading yourself too thin, hoping something blows up. Anyone who has held BTC for longer than four years has made money. That’s step one. Not sexy, I get it—so let’s jazz it up a bit. Crypto roughly moves in four-year cycles. Bitcoin typically takes off about six months after a halving. When you buy BTC, you can stake it—but only when the asset is low. Staking locks your funds, so you don’t want to get stuck if price starts to drop. When timed correctly, you’re double-dipping: earning more BTC from yield and benefiting from price appreciation. When you sell, move into a stablecoin and stake that. As crypto drops 75%+, you can earn 4–7% on stables, which means you’re effectively building more buying power for the next BTC entry. Rinse and repeat every cycle. One step beyond that—let’s be honest, volatility is what makes crypto amazing. If you hold one BTC and it goes up $500 one day and down $500 the next, you’re in the same spot. No profit, no loss. A trading bot that harvests volatility and compounds gains has been a game changer for me. I use it across multiple coins and can outperform simple holding, meaning I’m effectively accumulating more BTC. It removes emotion, runs 24/7, works in both up and down markets, and when used correctly can be extremely safe. Happy to share the math behind it and show how it can be similar to spot exposure. Hope this helps—happy trading. Hit me up if you want to pick my brain. I’ve got a lot of advanced ideas on crypto and didn’t want to write a novel 👍 https://preview.redd.it/e6ogxph98oig1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46a7a54d36e31aab4cc624fbafe9d184b54dda52

jeremiahcp

Now you’ve joined the club of people who lost big on Dogecoin and are holding for years, hoping just to break even. The problem is that if your money is sitting there, it’s rotting, it isn’t growing, but if you pull out you have realized the losses. It is a fucking pickle. At 22k, I’m not going to give you a recommendation; you need to make that decision yourself. Going forward, don’t let the lesson fade. Don’t fuck with meme coins; they are not long-term investments. Stick to ETH and BTC, and plan to hold for the long term.

jeremiahcp

Clearly my intuition was correct. I sold my alts based on what I was seeing, and then everything crashed afterward. I held onto my BTC and ETH because those will recover when he leaves office. The long-term viability of alts is more questionable, especially their ability to bounce back.

SteadyGridProfits

If you’ve been through a few cycles, this setup should look very familiar. ETH/BTC always looks “dead” right before it isn’t. In 2019–2020, ETH/BTC bled for over a year, sentiment was awful, people called it broken… then it ran from ~0.016 to ~0.085 in the next cycle. Same story in 2016–2017. The ratio bottoms when conviction is gone, not when headlines are bullish. BTC leads first, dominance spikes, ETH gets written off—then rotation hits fast. This is historically the calm before the storm. When it feels like it can’t go any lower, that’s usually when accumulation quietly happens.

> The tokenomics of Ethereum beats that of every other chain. It's pretty much the only chain that has a sustainable security model Do you just make up stuff? If ETH Maxis really believed in "fundamentals", fee revenue, inflation rate, Price/Sales, you really would be invested in TRON instead of ETH because with the metrics ETH Maxis keep brining up, TRON is massively undervalued and ETH is massively overvalued. Crypto is entirely speculative following BTC movements. None of this matters.

ETH/BTC ratio at 3-year lows feels like a contrarian signal. Either ETH is a bargain relative to BTC or the market is telling us something about the shifting narrative toward Bitcoin as the only 'safe' crypto play. Time will tell which interpretation is correct.

whataboutbenson

The great mystery for me of crypto is ETH. Fundamentally it’s by far the strongest coin, yet BTC continually wreck its shit and has been doing for almost 9 years. Yet ETHBTC still isn’t a “dead” chart like most other Alt/BTC pairs. In theory it looks like one day it could break out, but when? And if not by now, can it really ever?

ObiWanKokobi

DCA bitcoin, spend like 10% of your stack every month/2 months buying bitcoin. Anything else, even ETH, is a very big gamble. Utility and how useful a coin is has rather small influence on the price, popularity and hype drive the price far more.

Sui probably has more upside, with that comes more risk. But your situation is similar to mine, mainly holding ETH, with Hedera on the side.

If facial recognition is a no-go for you, OpenSea's non-custodial wallet-based trading could be useful. Since you trade directly from your wallet, no KYC or biometric scans needed for swapping tokens across multiple chains like ETH, Base, and Solana. Anyone else avoid KYC with OpenSea?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
