ETH

Plane-Salamander2580

If you want safe relative to crypto, there's really only BTC and ETH. Slightly more speculative you have Cardano.

Since then I started tracking everything (entries, DCA, total cost) and it completely changed how I manage my trades. Do you guys track your average buy or just go by price? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If moons are not redeemable for cash, then what's the point of moving to ETH mainnet? We can't do anything with them there.

Ok_Winter8503

For someone brand new I’d keep it boring on purpose. If it’s crypto only, BTC first and maybe ETH second, but I definitely wouldn’t start a family member off with a bunch of random alts and call that “investing” Most people think they’re diversifying when they’re really just adding more ways to be wrong

alexyong342

No, ETH fees would kill it. Have you considered the impact on tokenomics and whether holders would approve the migration?

lockedoutofmymainrdt

Id say no if it includes ETH fees

AdPrevious5886

Yes, you said it. If i held over that period. But i didnt because i was completely new, made my research, took my chances and it paid off, not as good as it could, but enough for a 22yo at the time. Now if i hold 50$ a month from now until ATH, return on BTC would be nothing compared to ETH.

chance_waters

Your return on BTC would be much higher than your return on ETH. With what you are describing just go throw your $50 down at the casino.

SuperbAssumption

ETH can be a solid long-term asset, but you don’t need to go all-in to benefit from it. A slower approach (like scaling in over time) reduces regret no matter what happens.

Long_Example_8428

Been there. The theory makes sense, but the catch is leverage and liquidation cascades. ETH looks like it's "just down" but that 3-4% drop can trigger a chain reaction where over-leveraged longs get force-sold, accelerating the dump further. The pros don't guess tops and bottoms,they watch where liquidity is stacked and where leverage is overheating. I pulled this from CoinLobster's free liquidation feed, shows exactly where retail gets wiped

AdPrevious5886

Well, nobody looked like wanting reassurance in any of these opinions, unlike you. ETH foundation sold like it did many other times, and they explained it every other single time, they sold to have liquidity and keep improving the ecosystem, not having to rely in outter investments, which looks pretty intelligent to me. They working on the project with their own money, not with other peoples money, but also for other peoples money. If you think a crypto asset is just reliable for having a Dex, wait until you learn more about Mt. Gox and FTX. Its worth it for you because you see a huge oportunity to get rich, not because you trust in the project. I really hope it works out good for you. If you're trying to get people convinced, you should change your speech. Also, saying to other people that you would invest better in HYPE than ETH and then saying you dont recommend any kind of investment, looks like pure hypocresy to me. And again, you are you, and me are me, and i dont mind about the risk at all if i know where and how im putting my money on, because if i wanted low risk, i would let inflation slowly eat my money in the bank like ive been doing last 5 years. But im definitely getting my money eaten by inflation than investing it on HYPE, thats for sure. But yeah im the one 🤡

unknowngloomth

Which financial advice I gave? You're regarded. You literally posting in a subreddit full of strangers looking for reassurance. And yes. To me, hyperliquid is better than ETH any day. Better moat. People actually using it. Team not selling like ETH foundation is. Low market cap. More room for high profits.its literally a Dex. Even tokenized assets such as oil are being traded on it If I wanted low risk. I'd not get in crypto. You 🤡

AdPrevious5886

Bro just stfu at this point🤣🤣 you literally told me you would invest it better in HYPE than in ETH like it is a blindly investment, and now you saying you didnt tell me to buy it lol even if you told me, i wouldnt buy it. I wouldnt even think for a second to buy it ever. You disclaim in your profile that you dont give financial advice, but you come un everywhere giving financial advices. Which one, in your opinion, is a safe investment? For me, any kind of market, not crypto, not the sp500, not even gold is a safe investment, not if you dont know what are you talking about. Only real state feels like a really safe investment, but i cant afford to buy a fucking house so i suppose i will stick to my plans, that leaded me to make money instead of losing it. Dont get me wrong, i lost too. But if i should do a percentage, i would say 70% wins 30% losses of what i invest. How's been yours?🫡

AdPrevious5886

I dont think we are talking about the same graphics, and also could not agree on anything. Tbf, ETH did break its 2021 ATH in 2025, the last bull cycle, thats why i call it slow and steady. It was harder for it than BTC to reach ATHs, but it did. Also, how much is BTC down this year? You just upholding based on facts that can lead the conversation into your favour. You compare BTC and ETH with XMR and BNB, but you dont want me to compare HYPE with DOGE. Nobody expected DOGE to reach his ATH, and it did. Also, didnt have any institutional backing, like almost any crypto does, but i remember you Elon Musk, one of the richest and market manipulation person on the world, backed it many times. Who is even behind HYPE? Who backups it to be that trustful to you? Just your illusions. Also, yes, it worked for me. But BTC worked for me too, and i dont think is a profitable investment for me anymore. Im going back wanting the memories, yes, but also while having many takes and paths to follow. Thats why i take my time to choose my investments. Thats why i like to know how people think. Because i like to analize every scenario possible, even if its not going to happen. And the only one talking about HYPE in a post that has nothing to do with HYPE, even when other people told you're wrong already, are you. Still trying to convince how good investment HYPE is, when its the third time im saying that im not taking you seriously. Delusional, gambler, greedy, and also obstinate.

unknowngloomth

Slow and steady? ETH is down 27% this year while you're calling it steady. BTC hit new ATHs. BNB hit new ATHs. HYPE up 61% in a confirmed bear market. ETH couldn't even break its 2021 ATH in a full bull cycle. That's not slow and steady. You compared HYPE to DOGE. DOGE has no revenue. No buybacks and burnz. No institutional backing. HYPE generated $14 million in fees last week alone. You said you don't need to strike it rich. Fine. But you're planning to put 90% of survival money into an asset that underperformed the S&P 500 over 4 years. That's not conservative. You said I'm a gambler, but you're about to bet 90% of everything you own on one asset because it worked for you once in 2020.The casino analogy is perfect actually. ETH is your favorite slot machine because it paid out once. You're going back because of memory not maths

AdPrevious5886

I told you, im not taking you seriously. ETH grows slow but steady, just cant compare it. Putting BTC and ETH in the same bag and comparing their growth to the BNB, SOL and XMR or even HYPE, tells me enough. And you also doesnt seem to know how to read. I dont need to strike it rich, i need some peace and some decent money to cover holes. Also, saying " risk big in low market cap" just confirm what i said, you're a gambler. And greedy. And as someone that was a greedy gambler on casinos, maybe idk what to do with my monet but i know perfectly what to not do. Greedy gambling NEVER ends good. So keep going balls deep on HYPE, maybe someday you strike it rich like some people did back in the day with DOGE. And you know what? If that ever happens, i will feel happy for you, because you got what you wanted. But also i would be happy if it never happens, because would mean i was right nowadays. So i have a 100% chance to be happy, while you have a slightly 50% less chance due to your expectations.

unknowngloomth

And you obviously can't math. If you wanna strike it rich. You have to risk big in low market cap. You absolute 🤡 Plus, take a look at hyperliquid moat. ETH barely hit a new ATH from its 2021 ATH. Worst investment ever. BTC, SOL and BNB blew ETH out of water. Even XMR did. Get out...

Kurosaki56843

Easy - you go to the store and pay with crypto just as easily you pay with your current bank card. And I do mean this in the terms of accepting directly BTC, ETH and stablecoins, not converting them to the dollar or euro amount..

AdPrevious5886

Im definitely not taking you seriously lol. Zoom out. How much higher you really think that HYPE you talking about will go? Or how much time will it stay? You cant compare ETH or BTC growing any of these coins nowadays, not even SOL, and if you do, one of two, youre a delusional or youre a gambler.

unknowngloomth

ETH only 32% in one year as HYPE is up 189%...

tedusam

ETH is good.

TheGreatCryptopo

Any investment decision should be made as holding long term, minimum 5 years. Ease your mind back into it buy a portion now, not more than 50%. Then DCA back in when you feel comfortable, ETH and BTC is the way to go. All other coins is a crap shoot.

unknowngloomth

ETH? Seriously? I'd rather risk in Hyperliquid.

Cool_Natural_145

I have 60% BTC and 40% ETH in my portfolio and will HODL

libretumente

The fact that ETH had a ~70% premine is such a joke when properly decentralized, fair launch coins exist.

Confident_Hunter7506

The DAT strategy is going to implode. All those companies bought at cycle highs and their financing was suspect. They may be up millions in staking revenue but they’re down billions from the cost basis. A couple are bound to fail which means a lot of ETH BTC and SOL are going to flood the market.

Acceptable_Staff3105

saying one thing and selling ETH, not a great look

Mountain-Bar-320

I don’t believe BTC has long term prospects unless the infrastructure layer integrates into society. I think the biggest upcoming issue for me is reasoning as to why people would use rails that are not their own, especially if AI can throw together equivalent networks that work just as well, if not better. ETH probably has a future

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The Ethereum Foundation said it would convert 5,000 ETH into stablecoins via CoWSwap to fund research, grants, and donations, reviving concerns about ongoing sell pressure. Although EF had moved treasury assets into DeFi, borrowed against ETH, and launched a 70,000 ETH staking program, its treasury policy still allowed ETH sales alongside staking and borrowing. The move undercuts the market view that staking had replaced treasury sales, showing EF still needs to sell ETH for operating cash. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

"I just wrote you a wall of text, again, as you say"  I didn't say that in a negative way. The main consensus that Sol is a "shit/scam" coin which obviously you don't like, is the fact that indeed BTC is and will always be no.1 no matter if you like it or not, I personally don't like it. Then by some miracle of God or whoever else is responsible, ETH just barely made it to no.2 and has some relevanve, and the rest is utter shit/nonsense/scam, this I don't like either. Trust me when I say this (as a die-hard ETH fan) ETH will go to shit as well in the next 5-10 years. And practically no matter how you cut it, BTC is king and the rest is and will be shit, it just is what it is.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Ethereum is holding near a key support around $2,168-$2,100 while facing heavy selling from three sources: the Ethereum Foundation, spot ETH ETF holders, and whales. The Foundation has already sold 3,750 ETH worth about $8.3 million and plans to convert 5,000 ETH total. ETF inflows quickly reversed to outflows, and whale holdings also declined. Technically, ETH remains trapped in a symmetrical triangle, with a possible golden cross at risk of failing if support breaks, opening downside toward $2,102 or lower. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

MadSL1m

The "never sell, always borrow" tactic you talked about is literally the "Buy, Borrow, Die" playbook played out by billionaires through real estate, only on Web3. It's not simply that you're making a dull decision; it's that you've advanced from the cryptocurrency gambling hall to serious wealth management. In 2050, the idea of trading in your BTC or ETH for fiat currency will be seen as absurd as trading Manhattan real estate for trinkets.

Bitcoin. I am not even thinking about ETH. Just main BTC. pair with a few ALt.

E_Bom

Looking at the comments, it seems like a lot of people still don't fully understand what Ethereum actually does or the key things it enables. That's fine, it's their perspective. But once you realize ETH is one of the few major tokens with real, ongoing purpose and utility (far beyond just scarcity), it's clear there's still plenty of room for it to run.

If you were my sibling, my honest advice is to slow down and focus on security first. Most beginners lose money not because of the market, but because they don't have a plan. ​I'd suggest a 'Low-Stress' split: ​70% Index Funds (ETFs): Like VOO. This is your long-term backbone. ​20% Bitcoin/ETH: Stick to the established giants; avoid the risky hype. ​10% Education: Knowing how to store your assets safely is the best investment you'll make. ​I actually put together a Crypto Beginner’s Guide that simplifies this entire roadmap. It’s designed to help people skip the confusion and avoid those expensive first-time mistakes.

Put headphones on to drown the noise and just buy BTC…….. with the occasional ETH

Dont use closed source bots. Just run prompts. Its just language and words so you can customize them. Here is a prompt you can use: ## STRATEGY OVERVIEW 🎯 Trade ETH/USD with a controlled mean-reversion grid on the 30m timeframe. Prioritize high-probability range trades and avoid forcing entries during strong trends or unstable volatility spikes. Use only the most recent 5 values for each indicator and market data series. ## LONG ENTRY 🟢 Enter long only when: - Price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band or materially below the mid-band mean. - RSI shows oversold exhaustion and begins turning up. - ADX is low to moderate, confirming the market is not strongly trending. - Current spread is acceptable and recent volatility is not expanding sharply. - Confidence is at or above the minimum threshold. Scale into the grid conservatively only if price continues to mean-revert lower without a strong trend shift. ## SHORT ENTRY 🔴 Enter short only when: - Price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band or materially above the mid-band mean. - RSI shows overbought exhaustion and begins turning down. - ADX is low to moderate, confirming the market is not strongly trending. - Current spread is acceptable and recent volatility is not expanding sharply. - Confidence is at or above the minimum threshold. Scale into the grid conservatively only if price continues to mean-revert higher without a strong trend shift. ## EXIT CONDITIONS ✅ - Take profits as price reverts toward the Bollinger mid-band. - Reduce or exit if price closes beyond the opposite band with rising ADX, suggesting a breakout. - Exit early if momentum remains strong against the position for multiple candles. - Do not keep adding exposure once the grid has achieved its mean-reversion target. ## RISK MANAGEMENT 🛡️ - Keep position size bounded and avoid aggressive stacking. - Reduce trade size or skip entries when ATR/volatility expands sharply. - Avoid trading when spread is wide or conditions are unstable. - If a position has been open too long without reverting, cut exposure rather than averaging indefinitely. - Stay flat when the market is unclear or clearly trending. Don't run it with Claude or GPT. Run it on prompt trading exchange like Everstrike.

Good-Book-6912

Why? Did you sell low during the crash? I assume some people were lucky and made a lot of money very fast by buying low. Some people probably even have it as a strategy to place very low unrealistic bids in the order book, just in case there is a flash crash. Imagine buying ETH for like 20 cents some years ago.

malacosa

I’m gonna say just DCA into BTC and ETH. Then, invest more into the one performing better base on your account’s balance. If over time if your account is now 70% BTC and 30% ETH, that’s how you should DCA into both at that time. Do not rebalance your account to 50/50 ever, all you are doing is selling the better performing one to buy the loser.

_-_Polaris_-_

Solana simply cause i think it has a big growth potential and won't disappear. If I adopted a crypto currency for an application I would want that to be something serious, established, reliable, fast with notably low transaction fees. So absolutely not ETH. Bitcoin probably will see growth but is in itself not very suitable for much more than savings. On a technical level SOLs struggles will probably become less significant. I heard it takes very beefy hardware to run a validator node. Tech is evolving. Fair there is alternates that have the same traits or are better at it but I feel like they yet have to establish themselves as big players. As an alternate I'm looking at ADA.

Extension_Ladder_135

ETH is outdated

krakensupport

Good ole BTC and ETH! SOL moving forward with quite some force in the tokenization realm as well. (None of this is financial advice cuz you know)

Redivivus

Can't complain about BTC but ETH is a flawed product that produces errors in its code. There is only one smart contract platform that will output 100% correct code based on specifications set by its users. That is Tau.Net.

AVoidling

The price has fallen to its 2023 average. ETH is also at its 2023 average. ADA is still 10x its last cycle average. The price action is no worse than any other coin...

Mostly swing trades on BTC and ETH, some altcoin momentum plays. My typical day: wake up at 6, check charts, trade London session, try to work my actual job, check charts during lunch, trade NY session, check charts before bed. It was unsustainable — my wife was about to kill me. So when I heard about AI trading agents, I figured it was worth a shot. Worst case, I lose some money and learn something. \*\*What I set up:\*\* I'm testing on 1024EX (closed beta). Described a simple strategy: momentum-based entries on BTC/USDT with a 2% stop-loss and 5% take-profit, only trading during high-volume windows. The agent generated it in maybe 30 seconds. \*\*Week 1 results:\*\* The agent made 6 trades. 4 winners, 2 losers. Net: +3.2% on the allocated capital. Not life-changing but better than I expected for a hands-off approach. The interesting part: one of the "losing" trades was actually good risk management. BTC dumped on some news, the agent triggered the stop-loss early (before my 2% threshold, it decided 1.3% was the right exit). Reading the decision log, it factored in unusual volume patterns. I would have held and taken the full 2% loss. \*\*Week 2:\*\* 4 trades. 2 winners, 1 loser, 1 breakeven. Net: +1.8%. Less exciting but consistent. \*\*The honest downsides:\*\* \- I still check the app 3-4 times a day. Old habits die hard. But at least I'm not making impulsive trades. \- The strategy I described was basic. I haven't tested anything complex yet. No idea how it handles multi-leg setups. \- It missed what I think was an obvious entry on Wednesday. Maybe the volume filter was too strict. I couldn't easily override it. \- Platform is rough around the edges. Loading times, weird UI choices. It's clearly early-stage. \*\*Bottom line:\*\* I'm getting my evenings back. That alone might be worth it. But I'm not putting serious capital in until I have more data. Will update at week 4 if people are interested. \--- *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

i believe with you, because in as much as crypto is concerned $BTC and $ETH are always the first coins to mention, but for me i will be hodling ASTER and Monad.

UpperHandLab

That’s not boring. That’s discipline. Most people lose because they confuse excitement with durability. Over decades the winners usually come from the assets with the strongest incentives, deepest trust, and hardest replacement value. BTC is monetary credibility. ETH is infrastructure gravity. Everything else has to prove it can survive.

I'm talking - if you had to pick something and not touch it for 24 years, what would it be? I've gone back and forth on this and I always end up back at BTC and ETH. I know, I know, boring answer. But the more time I spend in this space, the more I realize the boring answer is the right one when your time horizon is measured in decades. BTC is what it is at this point. Digital gold, hard-capped supply, every major institution is slowly getting exposure. I don't need it to reinvent itself. I just need it to keep doing exactly what it's been doing since 2009. ETH is a different kind of conviction - it's actually trying to be the infrastructure layer for like... everything. Tokenized assets, rollups, DeFi, whatever comes next that we haven't thought of yet. Every cycle, someone writes the ETH obituary, and every cycle, it absorbs more builders and more capital anyway. What flipped a switch for me was when I stopped selling altogether and started borrowing (at a platform like nехо, 1.9% is a good deal) whenever I need cash. That's my 2050 plan. Boring, but I'm at peace with it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I think about it this way. The way you have all sort of currencies it will be the same for crypto. For example, BTC will be the new "dollar", ETH the new "euro", ADA the new "japanese yen". So you will have the biggest and most known currency and then you will have the smaller ones not so "important"

Sea-Reference6800

If you were my family, I’d keep it really simple: * Majority in BTC (still the safest long-term bet in crypto) * Smaller portion in ETH * Only a tiny % for anything else (if you want to explore) biggest mistake I see beginners make is chasing hype coins instead of just holding solid ones over time. Also, don’t go all in at once. Just buy slowly (DCA) and think long-term (years, not months). Hope this helps!

Bitcoin and maybe small position on ETH, when you create your portfolio move most on a hardware wallet and put small amounts on Nexo for example to earn you interest over time.

If its just crypto investing them: BTC ETH Algorand But I'd tell you to consider bitcoin dominance and timing to make the most of your investing.

hewhosleepsnot

Diversification. I’m nearly all in stocks as, despite recent upturns due to oil, I am not a USD bull and hate holding cash. I have 1-2% in crypto (BTC ETH SOL primarily) 1-2% in physical items (Lego gold collectibles), rest stocks and ETFs with a half year of savings in a HYSA. Tech stocks beaten down right now so if not think AI going to replace them all then I like GOoG, msft, NVDA, meta. Bit late to try and get in on oil and tankers unless think Iran going to escalate or continue for longer and no TACO tonight. IAU for more exposure to gold tha you don’t have to hold and protect. Look for something with reasonable valuation and long term uptrends. ETFs are always great as can set and forget. VXUS, SPY, emerging market ETFs etc.

Ville_the_human

I would split the money between BTC, ETH & SOL. Keep it for at least a couple of years.

aihwao

I'd recommend ETH. That's it. Don't gamble. BTC will never be the global currentcy its supporters hope it will be. Avoid all shitcoins and alts. I'd also say that most crypto is gambling. Due to ETFs and financial instruments crypto is broadly now tied to financial markets, so don't expect it to be some sort of hedge against the markets.

NoDrama6103

Can’t forget ETH too

If it’s family money, I’d avoid hype completely. BTC/ETH, long-term, and focus on not losing value on fees, spreads, and bad execution that’s where most beginners get hit.

Here's what the data looks like on ETH right now and why it matters. Current readings: \- Market Bias: BEARISH — long liquidity below, downward sweep likely \- Target level: $2,067.75 (long liquidation cluster) \- Sweep probability: 16% \- Liquidity Pressure Index: −11 (Mild Bearish Bias) \- OI Trend: New longs entering — trend confirmation \- Regime: Liquidation Event — Cascade LOW \- Funding rate: +0.0008% (near zero, slightly positive) \- Open Interest: $1.67B — dropped sharply in the last few hours \- Fear & Greed: 43 — Neutral \- Long/Short ratio: 64% longs vs 35% shorts across Bybit, Binance, OKX \- Perp/Spot Basis: −0.0469% — converged, no premium What this means together OI dropped 7.5% in 24 hours — leveraged longs are being forcibly closed. That's not organic selling, that's a liquidation cascade unwinding. The regime is flagged as a Liquidation Event. Meanwhile 64% of positioning is still long. That means there's a large pool of leveraged longs sitting below current price around the $2,067 cluster. Price doesn't need a reason to go there — it gets pulled there because clearing those positions is profitable for the market. The playbook is currently in WATCHING mode — waiting for a cluster to come within sweep range before generating a full entry setup. The system says wait for regime change before doing anything. Signal performance on ETH (historical): \- Liq. Clusters: 9% win, +0.48% avg across 44 signals \- Funding Extremes: 20% win, +0.99% avg across 38 signals \- OI Divergence: 7% win, +0.37% avg across 349 signals Not cherry-picking — those numbers are in the screenshot. What I track to catch these setups I built a system that monitors liquidation cluster formation, OI trend velocity, funding rates across exchanges, and long/short crowding for 16 crypto symbols in real time. When these conditions align it flags the setup and fires a Telegram alert. Everything is outcome-tracked — every alert logged against what actually happened 1 hour later. Not financial advice. The sweep probability is 16% — this is a watch, not a trade. Posting because the data setup is clean and worth understanding regardless of direction. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Start with BTC or ETH. Long track record, deep liquidity, most infrastructure built around them. Size your position so a 30% dip doesn't make you panic sell, because it will dip. Once you're actually holding, you'll start discovering ways to use your crypto without selling it at platforms like nexo. That's where it gets interesting long term.

Bitcoin , ETH and Sol. Allocate a very small percentage for coins like sui, link which has potential.

If you want to make some money I would suggest you wait until later this year (Q2 - Q3) when probably the bottom will be in for crypto before the next bullrun. If you are a beginner try only spot, if you are confident and have an appetite for risk try futures but never go more than 5x. I am for some time in this field and I have lost thousands of euro. Also won but still I haven't covered my losses yet. Unless you are crazy lucky or have crazy patience, most likely you will lose otherwise. Stick only with BTC, ETH and SOL (debatable). Hope it helped.

ETH was relatively poor performing over the last cycle. We're looking at the precipice of a global recession, the likelihood is that in turbulent times, the price could fall even further as people remove risk from their portfolios or choose to invest less in riskier investments. This isn't financial advise, just some things I would perhaps consider before making any big investments. If you might need then money back then you could be looking at a big loss in 6 months. Of course the old argument is never invest what you're not prepared to lose in crypto...

60% stocks, 40% crypto. Of which is: 55% BTC, 15% ETH, 15% XRP 10% Chainlink and 5% SUI I bought quite a lot last year in the bullmarket so everything is in the red rn making the %;s a bit off. Especially chainlink I lost over 40% value.... Im hodling now for the next years and hope profits will come

Ambitious_Dog9343

guys i want to spend 5-10k in ETH over time, do you think it‘s a good entry point to buy some?

Wouldn't influencing increased activity benefit miners and those that get a % of transaction fees? Like the Trump-owned American Mining ($BTC), his 60% ownership of Wolf Liberty Financial ($WLFI), his % on transactions ($USD1 stablecoin), his holdings of $ETH, then $TRUMP and $MELANIA?

PuzzleheadedBell4057

20% of total portfolio. 5% ea. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. Planning on adding less than 1% ea KITE and TAO in May

Stats_DontCare0

That 35% number sounds scary, but a lot of “failed” ETH txs aren’t really system failures in the way people think. A huge chunk comes from MEV bots and arbitrage attempts that are designed to fail if conditions change mid-block. So it ends up inflating the stats, especially during volatile periods or when bots are competing hard. Layer 2 interactions and bad gas settings from newer users probably add to it too. Still not great optics though. Even if it’s mostly bot noise, seeing failure rates spike like that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for regular users.

This thread didn’t start good. 2 big red candles on BTC/ETH

Icy-Gold-596

Thanks. I was able to transfer the bitcoin but wouldn’t let me transfer Etherium in Coinbase. Getting an error saying ETH withdrawals are temporarily unavailable. Worried that I only have 55 mins before Gemini shut down in the UK. Wonder if I will still be able to withdraw it after today.

tldr; The Ethereum Foundation has staked nearly $100 million in ETH in 24 hours, depositing about 45,034 ETH into the Beacon Deposit Contract and bringing its total staked holdings to 69,500 ETH, worth roughly $143 million. The move marks a shift away from selling ETH to fund operations, reducing market sell pressure and turning its treasury into a yield-generating asset that could produce about $4 million annually. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; The Ethereum Foundation staked 45,034 ETH, worth about $93 million, bringing its total staked holdings to roughly 69,500 ETH and putting it near its 70,000 ETH target. The move reflects a shift from selling ETH to earning yield on treasury reserves. With staking yields of 2.7%–3.8% APY, the foundation could earn $3.9 million to $5.4 million annually, while still holding over 102,000 unstaked ETH. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; BitMine Immersion Technologies reportedly bought 40,000 ETH worth about $82 million from FalconX on April 4, 2026, according to Lookonchain and Arkham data. The purchase, though unconfirmed by BitMine, fits its prior OTC buying pattern. BitMine now holds an estimated 4.36M-4.70M ETH, making it the largest corporate Ethereum holder with roughly 3.86% of circulating supply, despite large unrealized losses on its position. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

US accepting it for 3 reasons: 1. Giving up fighting it and embracing US stablecoin to get money back connected to the treasury (Biden supposedly was fighting it) 2.

Welcome back! A lot has changed but the fundamentals of evaluating good projects haven't. The biggest mistake returning investors make is jumping in based on hype without doing proper research. A few things worth knowing: - BTC and ETH are still solid foundations - DeFi has matured a lot — protocols like Uniswap, AAVE and Curve have real revenue and years of track record - Always check TVL, tokenomics and team transparency before touching any altcoin I actually put together a complete token research framework covering exactly how to evaluate any crypto project before investing. Happy to share if useful..

Post is by: TheLazy_Owl and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1se2jr1/no_one_talks_about_hidden_spread_and_i_lowkey/ So I went down a rabbit hole last week because I was tired of feeling like I was hemorrhaging money on every swap without knowing why. We all obsess over gas fees right? Like "$0.21 vs $0.18, I'm a genius." Meanwhile a 1.6% spread just quietly ate $16 on your $1000 swap and you didn't even blink. I ran the same trades across Bungee, 1inch, Houdini, and RocketX and just... wow. Bungee: -1.7% Houdini: -1.0% 1inch: -2.5% RocketX: -0.5% Houdini was the worst experience tbh. Marketed as THE privacy swap. Tried it once for a $42 ETH → USDT swap. Waited 45 minutes. Got less money. Their private cap is $100K. The only thing they made disappear was my money and my patience. 1inch isn't the hero you think it is either. DEX only. No CEX comparison. No privacy. -1.65% on their "best" route. That's not a route, that's a donation. Bungee: Sent 10 USDT, got 9.80 back. Paying fees to receive less of the same token. Bold strategy. What actually got me about RocketX is that you can SEE everything — every route, every fee, spread included. Other platforms are literally designed so you never compare. RocketX just... shows you. DEX + CEX + Bridge liquidity in one engine, MEV-aware routing, no KYC, 200+ chains. its crazy bro Once you start comparing outputs instead of just fees, you can't go back. Anyone else actually sat down and compared swap rates side by side? Feels like most people never do. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

How many TPS?’ isn’t really an answer to ‘why are 35% of ETH transactions failing.’

Choice_Potato_6279

Regretfully I've watched one video of his 5 months ago because reddit keeps shilling him, this clown then said that ETH will reach ATH because it's following Tesla chart (the fuck? lmao), obviously since it was around 5 months ago we know that nothing happened except for relentless dumping.

Comfortable-Half5165

Keeping it simple and consistent: * DCA (monthly buys) into BTC/ETH—no timing stress * Hold majority long-term, don’t overtrade * Small portion for higher-risk plays (strict limits) * Take profits along the way, not just at the top * Use simple tools/wallets (like LIFE Wallet) for easy management Nothing fancy—just discipline, risk control, and consistency.

defeater33

Buy ETH and or BTC only. With ETH big swings you can make 80-100% in six months to two years. Be patient.

admin_default

Lol. Tom Lee is remarkably dumb. He poured $ billions into ETH at the peak and now he’s buying again right before the worst energy crisis the world has ever seen. I love ETH but sometimes you gotta know when to stay on the sidelines

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

What timeframe are you actually looking at, and are you factoring in fees each time you trade? What you’re describing sounds simple on the surface, but the hard part is you never know if “down” is actually the bottom or just the start of a bigger drop. ETH can dip, keep dipping, then sit lower for days or weeks, so if you buy too early you’re stuck or forced to sell at a loss. Also, small up and down moves get eaten by fees and spread, so even if you’re right directionally, you don’t always come out ahead. A practical step is to track a few hypothetical trades with real entry and exit points, including fees, just on paper. You’ll probably notice pretty quickly where it stops being as easy as it looks.
