ETH

> The whole thing is also just quite a bit lazier and more transparent (for idiots) than it used to be. To speak to this point... I was big into crypto for a couple years doing Ethereum mining. I never actually bought crypto directly, it felt like there was a nation wide network being built to decentralize finance and the cool thing about it was anyone could get in on it. I started with my gaming PC mining, and added GPU's slowly over time until I had a full blown mining rig in my basement with like 18 GPU's. I literally was at the capacity of what I could safely put in my house. But it felt like I was participating in it, like I was helping build it, and I felt ownership of it because of that. Ethereum then went to proof of stake, basically cutting all of the miners out, so in order to participate in validation you had to lock tens of thousands of dollars worth of ETH into a validation server. I sold all my crypto, sold all my GPU's, and walked away with like $1000 in profit total because I didn't sell at the peak. > Even BTC itself has been totally reduced to a "line goes up because it goes up" Exactly. There's no more rationale at all behind any of it... it's just "of course it will keep going up" and there's no real reason why. There's no way to be more involved than to just throw money in and hope for the best. Instead of being something you can participate in, crypto is now just another speculative asset, no better than Kalshi.

ETH, BTC and DOGE (don’t ask)

Maybe ETH. Why XRP

10k in grindr 2 years ago is $13400 now. 10k in ETH 2 years ago is $5400 now lol.

_Nuke_the_Whales_

Bought a few hundred ETH between $8 and $12, along with about 5 BTC around $500, in 2016. Owned Nvidia pre 10-1 split at what would be $12.50 per share today’s equivalent Owned MU for a few years Bought Palantir around $15 per share I still own all of the above except Palantir, however, I’ve sold off 50-90% of the position and prices much lower than their current or peak (for crypto) prices. That’s just risk management. Take some money off the table on the way up

I saw Tom "Fat Cuck" Lee today at my local co-op grocer today. He was pondering over the sushi selection and also typing into a calculator. Since i wanted tuna rolls i walked up and reached past him to grab one. As my hand got closer he started typing faster and harder. The moment i grazed the plastic all i could feel was a rush of wind behind me, and he was in a dead sprint heading out the door. The automated sliding doors delayed him and he bounced up and down like he really had to take a piss. "ETH!" he coughed as his body's momentum pulled his head back in a display of delayed force. Weird dude.

HelloTheirCruleWorld

I might buy ETH

WallStreetThreats_

I bought ETH when it was still in the hundreds so I just let it chill Probably should have sold when it hit 5K per, but whatever

Ahamadrayasbaboon

Prolly depends on what kind of crypto we’re talking about. The fact OP omits that info implies that it isn’t BTC or ETH, because discussion of those is allowed here. 

Forward_Ant_9074

Yeah, I was mining (& spending) ETH back when it was $5. I couldn’t save much back then because had to spend money on education of myself & siblings, etc.

Bonghead13

Fuck. Story of my life. Bought 70,000 ETH at under $0.10, sold at $10 feeling like a straight G. Took my girlfriend at the time to the bahamas and banged like rabbit. She's ancient history and so are my gainz

SomewhereBusiness503

If you see crypto as a gamble, then cutting it is a fair and clean decision. No need to force exposure you don’t believe in. The people who stick with it long term usually don’t treat it like a “buy when I feel like it” asset. They set a fixed allocation, keep contributions consistent, and avoid changing the plan based on price action. Where things usually break down is drift. Even if you start disciplined, crypto can quietly grow or shrink as a % of your portfolio, and that leads to either overexposure or abandoning the plan emotionally. That’s why some investors automate it with rebalancing tools instead of manually adjusting allocations or reacting to dips. It keeps crypto as a controlled slice of the portfolio rather than something that slowly takes over decision making. If you don’t have conviction in BTC/ETH long term, then reallocating everything to ETFs/stocks is the simpler path.

Did you short an ETH? Or individual tickers?

In 2021, I sold 10K in ETH to buy my wife an engagement ring and it would have been worth $8K today. Great move by me

I sold 600$ ETH for phone which later became 9000$. I enjoyed the phone. ETH could have tanked for all we know.

velamind

Not stocks but crypto. BTC and ETH, multiple times throughout the years. Could’ve had millions.

wrtChase

The issue is that it's not enough to simply swap out the signing/encryption and call it a day PQ signatures are significantly larger alone and when aggregated, significant engineering work needs to accompany that if you still want to maintain network characteristics and with a chain like ETH allow home validators

alami9

Everything else is traceable and police will be at your house, and will be easily upgradable when Cloudflare, Google and other infrastructure players upgrade. Cloudflare and Google have committed to 100% upgrade by 2029. Meanwhile, you can’t get people to get to a consensus for BTC, and the ETH smart contract stack coordination are with non-related third parties. A bank doesn’t need to talk to anyone about upgrading their system.

alami9

Not so sir. Cloudflare, Google, and other infrastructure players will upgrade (they committed by 2029), banks and companies will be fine. But BTC will still be working on a consensus; ETH will still be figuring out coordinating the app stacks.

alami9

QC with Shor’s solves BTC, ETH and most crypto private key - that point is no longer controversial.

20M ETFs Are My Foundation, But What Else Should I Start Investing In? I’m 20 years old with roughly a \~$22k net worth currently. I am in university with a full time job. I have around \~$14k cash, \~$7.5k invested in ETFs inside my TFSA, and a smaller crypto position. I started investing in April 2024 and my TFSA is currently up about 17% all time. I also help my parents out every now and then with 3000$ payments because they help me a lot as well of course. Right now I invest 15% of every paycheck automatically: \-10% into ETFs \-5% into crypto ETF allocation is mainly: \-VFV (55%) \-XEF (25%) \-XIU (20%) Crypto is mostly: BTC; ETH; SOL I make roughly \~$3k/month currently and get paid twice per month. I’m definitely continuing the ETF strategy long term, but I also want to start putting another \~5–10% of my income + an initial \~$500 into something more aggressive/high-upside while I’m still young and living at home. Lately I’ve been researching things like: AI industry (ETFs perhaps) Single stocks (companies I believe in) \-Real estate / REITs \-Private equity \-Bond trading \-Inflation indexed funds \-Venture capital \-US treasuries Etc 1. Which of these actually make sense for someone my age and capital level? 2. What would you personally prioritize? 3. What’s the smartest way to start getting exposure without doing something stupid? Thanks! Edit: I have a debit/credit cards however will look into HISA accounts too.

BallsOfStonk

There’s a tweet, not a deal. BTC and ETH already responded to the tweet, and the movement was minimal. Also PCE this week is going to send the 10y to 4.75%, so everyone hold onto your crayons.

Son_of_Alice_and_Bob

I sold all my ETH at $200 for the 20% down payment on our house. Life happens.

mrlongus

The one time i had to sell my eth because my shit ex had me by balls. good thing i kept 0,00000084 ETH and she didnt know

potato111a

Anddd my ETH short stop loss hit now watch ETH drill LMAO 🤌

smelbemag

bought ETH around $180 back when everyone was calling it vaporware and saying bitcoin would just absorb the whole market. my thesis was simple: developer commits were consistently higher than any other chain at the, time, and metrics like active addresses and transaction volume kept climbing even when price didn't. held through it dumping to around $90 and just reminded myself none of those underlying numbers had actually broken down.

alami9

Not really. Google and Cloudflare are upgrading. 401k upgrade relatively easily. No massive coordination with unknown third parties like BTC and ETH.

ChillerID

I’m personally taking a quantum hedge with Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL). If ETH and BTC don’t migrate in time, at least I have some exposure to post-quantum infrastructure.

potato111a

ETH short

alami9

No, Cloudflare and Google will upgrade their system, they commit to 100% migration by 2029, banks and individuals become safe when using their infrastructure. Not so with BTC and ETH. Research your quantum safe crypto bro. QRL is my pick. I plan to jump in 100%. Wondering if others have the same plan.

alami9

Centralized systems seem to be much easier to manage. Cloudflare and Google upgrade their system and Banks just sign up. Not so with ETH and BTC. QRL is the only hope I think.

hell yea brother. And me too - I've lost a metric fuck ton of money in Crypto when I couldve just bought BTC or ETH in 2017 when I started dabbling. I remember mining 80 ETH and I sold them all for like 50-100 each. Oh the joy! ❤️

VibrantHeat7

BTBT (Bit Digital) They own ETH and are staking it, earning revanue from it. BTBT also owns 71% of WYFI (WhiteFiber Inc) which has a deal to host datacenter for Cerebras as they have the critical infrastructure and cooling for their AI chips. They also have a signed 10 year contract with Nscale to host their data center. Currently, the BTBT share price is undervalued. As it's reveanue ftom WYFI alone is worth more than it's current market cap. Meaning you get their ETH staking reveanure for free currently. Cerebras is a huge IPO, Perhsps Nvidia competitor. Had the best AI chips and are building up data centers to hos 'em. Some of these and other data centers are owned and run by Whitefiber, getting triple million dollar contracts. 71% of Whitefiber is owned by this small company named Bit Digital. Once people realize, they will flock to BTBT. Since none of this is currently priced in. Cerebras stock is around 350$ Whitefiber is around 25$ Bit Digital is only 2$ Im on my phone, will update this post to be more precise with numbers later :)

Upstairs_System_6257

What's the point of silly internet coins? Both BTC and ETH tumbling together with futures.

Pale-Silver-8178

For the love of God dont buy that shit. ETH is so ass

Spirited-Tear-8735

I am not saying that MIT is crap. I am literally saying they are similar on an educational level which is backed by statistics and international ranking. The point I am making is that you could get the same level of education and reputation for 1/40 of the price. Now if you are willing to pay unnecessarily then it’s up to you but you can’t argue that MIT makes more sense from an educational and financial point of view in comparison to the ETH. Time to get a reality check.

Jaded-Ad-4675

ETH is good but even top European institutions look like kindergarten compared to the ivys. I get it, you have the best chocolate and you are proud, good for you. But saying crap about US ivys is moronic.

Spirited-Tear-8735

I always find funny how irrational people get because of pride. No it’s not the same. Taking your example and making the analogy a bit more precise. Imagine playing at the NBA level and you get paid 200’000 a year or you can play at the euro league and receive 80’000’000 a year. Your answer would still be NBA? The ROI at ETH is just 40 times better and yet you still want to go to MIT… You just need to stay humble for once and swallow your pride.

Spirited-Tear-8735

Yeah right all things considered ETH is just better. Having the best education literally the same level of international academic professor for 1/20 of the price. We end up paying 9600.- for Bachelor while you pay 200’000.- Good luck coping with that !

HalfInside3167

I did micro investments in cripto and unlike other investments I was diamond hands there... Guess what happened? Only worked in BTC, ETH and BNB the rest is only pump and dump schemes.

Spirited-Tear-8735

In Switzerland it costs 1266.- a year to be at ETH, which is the equivalent of MIT or Harward.

RunesDubloons

investing in ETH feels like buying actual real estate in Diablo Immortal and attempting to live there and do normal shit.

Riyzah_

Exactly. I guess we should ignore all these institutions, states, and other various entities (some government agencies) that are in fact not using / investing in Bitcoin but others. XRP, ETH, ZBCN, Link, Sol, HBAR to only name a few. Unfortunately people think we’re still in 2015 in the crypto space.

A10cc

Imagine thinking you could time ETH price action based on the timing of the Clarity Act and using TA. Fucking clowns. I'm a fucking clown.

Tremulant1

as far as crypto goes - just bitcoin. 100% bitcoin. No ETH, no SOL, no XRP etc. They will all eventually go to $0 against bitcoin.

its okay maybe during the call tomorrow they'll drop some AI buzzwords lmaoo. I mean it was pretty clear they were gonna miss earnings with the state ETH is in

Upstairs_Whole_580

Eh, not really. A lot of people are just trying to get by. My Sister on the other hand can't even pay her fucking bills despite getting the same inheritance as me which... didn't set either up for life, but would have if she just hadn't been so stupid. She just had to "travel for a year to find herself," and then came back and spent 899 on a house...a 120K truck to haul a camper, then called me a loser because I lived at home after Law School investing every penny. 15 years later... who do you think her and her slack jawed husband come to when they "just need 10K to get by." And I give the sigh, but...it's a good feeling handing it to her and telling her to not worry about it. Not because she's such a lovely person, but so they both know it's just charity for a couple of morons. Meanwhile, I've told her Husband what to invest in. Google at 160. Instead, he bought ETH. AMD or NVDA under 80 or 90... he bought RIVN(not even sure how it's done).

Tough-Try8620

ETH. Not an information tho.

Magicdonvito

It’s trading at a discount because the market doesn’t like $BTBT nor the CEOs strategy. They haven’t bought any $ETH during the post crash nor doing anything of relevance. They also didn’t spin off any $WYFI to shareholders. $BTBT was once the top $ETH holder until others left it in the dust - now it’s way too far behind to be relevant. That said, $WYFI alone looks interesting as hyperscalers are cheaper and offer more scale currently in this dearth of data centers

AccountOfMyAncestors

Serious answer: ETH No where near ATHs so you can actually get a good entry right now. Ask yourself this: does the EU, latin america, and Asia want to diversify from the US's monetary system (SWIFT) to hedge against US geopolitical volatility and control? If you think that makes sense, it makes sense to hold a position in ETH as a call option on ETH getting selected for financial infrastructure that is nation-less and un-sanctionable. Institutions are already warming to ETH as it is thanks to the clarity act's impending passage.

Ambitious-Agency6079

How did you make out? I am in the exact same shitty boat....scam fake tokens on ETH network...i do not think i will ever see my initial investment of $7900 cad warning to all reading this

Han-ChewieSexyFanfic

Cool ride? What are you on about, the banks were not invested in it. If anything they’re responding to consumer demand to hold them via an institution they trust instead of an unregulated exchange or learning to handle their own keys. > why don't they have added BTC/ETH Cards to what they offer as services Mine has, you can pay with your crypto balance at any terminal that accepts their Visa card.

Market_Foreign

So you're saying, big banks got a cool ride, and now it's getting less of a cool ride, so they're passing the risk onto main street by pushing it to consumers without any real use behind it ? If banks truly are adopting it, why don't they have added BTC/ETH Cards to what they offer as services ? Why have they not updated their pos terminals ?

Holiday-Bid8464

I have already covered this on separate chat boards. I am bullish on BTBT. Clearly the market is speaking on BTC mining. It ain't profitable. Most major miners have moved to HPC/AI. Personally, I own a moderate amount of BTBT and adding more. The equitable position in WYFI and current ETH treasury amount to about 1 billion which exceeds BTBTs cap by 40%. My estimate is that BTBT is currently trading at a 35-40% discount. GLTA.

AlfalfaSea6638

Yeah I get you. I've been fortunate to have played ETH, BTC, TSLA, and PLTR so I have learned experience of those crazy moves, the emotions that come with them, and my exit strategy definitely is different than others. I usually position myself for at least a 3-5x doubling, I sell covered calls on 5% of the position to create income, and once the asset doubles 3-5x I sell 50% outside retirement accounts (depending on how much I want to be taxed) and 75% inside my retirement account that I prioritize for safer plays and can take more position off without paying taxes. But I also keep myself informed with fundamentals and prioritize that over technicals, both together are helpful though.

UnitedAcanthaceae118

Yes. There are a couple of crypto DEX's that support them. Biggest is Everstrike. There is also Deri. Paradex used to support them but no longer do. Liquidity is not big but you can get filled on limit orders if you are patient. Especially if you trade around the ATM strikes on BTC/ETH on Everstrike.

UnitedAcanthaceae118

Perpetual options are unique to crypto atm. They may be introduced in TradFi but I wouldn't hold my breath since perpetual futures have been around for a decade and are still crypto-only. So it will be on major cryptos like BTC and ETH.

cheshire__kat

So many questions. Not sure where to start. I need someone to hold my hand and talk me through this. I hope this is the right place. Apologies in advance for the long post. Info: 38yo/USA, un/under-employed for a few years and expecting to remain unemployed for at least a few months (studying for the bar exam). Living off savings for the last few years, but currently withdrawing from investments to cover living expenses (typically \~$3-4k/mo). Current situation: \~$570k in Edward Jones accounts (\~$500k in investment accounts, \~$50k in roth/trad IRA accounts, \~$15k in a separate, low-risk investment account that I am currently using for living expenses), all with the same dedicated financial advisor. (whom I inherited along with the money that I inherited from my grandmother and father. I like him. He helped me set up my accounts after my father passed in 2021 - prior to this I had zero investments and knew nothing whatsoever about investing) \~$157k in a Merrill Jones "guided investing" account. No dedicated advisor. \~$220k in Aflac stock. \~$13k in crypto (primarily BTC and ETH) (-)\~$105k in debts (mortgage at 2.5%interest + car payment at 5.5% interest) 3-yr cumulative time weighted return on my Merrill acct is 63%. Edward Jones is 11.95%. Questions: 1. how TF is my Merrill account performing at 63% (which seems outrageous) vs EJ at 11.95% (which still seems above average)? Is there something I may be misunderstanding? 1a. Considering the performance, I am thinking of transferring a chunk of EJ funds to Merrill, with the expectation of not touching the Merrill account for the foreseeable future. I feel like this seems like the obvious smart move, but am I missing something? Are there things I should consider that maybe I am unaware of? 2. I'm considering withdrawing \~$15k for a full kitchen remodel in the next few months. Would it make sense to do this now, while I am unemployed...perhaps for tax purposes? 3. I have a potential opportunity to purchase an online retail business for \~$100k (price has not yet been negotiated, but that was a spitball offer at the time it was mentioned). The business is profitable, AFAIK (I have not seen the actual numbers). The owner just wants to retire and pass it along to someone else. I have a partner who has many years of experience in this industry, and is friends with the current owner. He would take care of the majority of the management of the company, I would be the primary financial backer, with the hope that this would ultimately become my primary source of income. Am I completely delusional for even considering this??

AccountOfMyAncestors

ETH 10 year price target is $250,000 per token. It’s a better form of money than bitcoin and gold AND a better store of value than both because it is yield bearing and is more secure. And it is nationless. Tokens that try to compete with ETH will never get consideration by institutions like European central banks because those other chains are either controlled by US companies, or they have no where near the liquidity and developer network effects to compete.

MaximumGenie

I keep crypto under 10% of my overall portfolio and focus on ETH rather than speculative altcoins at this point. for the ETH portion I use liquid restaking, specifically Lido or EtherFi, to earn yield rather than letting it sit idle, which makes the allocation more productive while staying relatively close to the base ETH risk profile.
