ETH

b1mm3rl1f3

It's a game of balance. The market gave you the largest liquidation event ever not too long ago, with extreme bearish sentiment all around. A reversion is needed, huge iHS on ETH

SerpentRoyalty

Crypto was a promise never realized. ETH is lagging because DeFi is dead. Why hold ETH when you can hold BTC? And DeFi is dead because of scammers.

itsybitsyspida

The next ETH is QRL once quantum computers come online.

ETH isn't supposed to be an investment; it's supposed to be a payment processor.

Savik519

1. The only half-logical use case for decentralized public blockchain is a currency. ETH can’t compete with BTC for that narrative (no other crypto can either so don’t feel bad). 2. Yes, I have lost confidence. No self respecting company is going to put anything of value on a smart contract platform they don’t control. What benefit does ETH provide a public company that they can’t make themselves with either a private blockchain or internal database. 3. ETH won’t go to zero, but it will continue to severely lag BTC. Look at all the other alts and how their price eventually flatlines. 10yrs from now ETH will probably still be in the $2-3k range.

Kind-Attention-8997

Been holding since 2017 and honestly the gas fees killed a lot of the hype this cycle. Everyone moved to Solana and other L1s while ETH was still charging $50+ for swaps Still bullish long term but maybe 8-10k by 2030 instead of the moon mission we all thought was coming. The tech is solid but retail doesn't care about decentralization when they're getting rekt by fees

ETH is fucking stupid buy BTC

flyingpanda678

I was not a fan of ETH up until this year. Seems like most have it backwards. Big banks and brokers are building products and tools on the Ethereum blockchain. Tokenized assets, cheaper and quicker international payment settlement systems and smart contracts to validate orders or in the future directions given to AI based machines. If you’re not bullish on ETH that is okay it has some concerns as well but if you’ve been bullish on ETH it’s odd to give up on it at the forefront of large scale institutional adoption.

Thoughtful_Tortoise

What is an ETH?

crunchsoop

With tokenization mass adoption on ETH I see a high chance that this guy's eth conviction fucks.

No_Complex_2603

Because ETH is proof of stake in a closed ecosystem. It’s a ponzi schema. If you don’t understand that you’re paying people (the people who actually make money) through dilution everyday then idk how to help you. Go into BTC if you want crypto. ETHs ecosystem has to out produce its dilution. I haven’t seen something resonate on blockchain outside of scam (meme coins and NFTs) the past 6 years. A company looking to start a business on ETH is paying IRL dollars to run the business, but getting paid in ETH. Then getting dumped on and diluted by stakers. Unsustainable and all hype. There is no blockchain business.

legible_print

ETH’s fees are too high and it’s too costly to move. That’s why it stalled out in the last run. It just holds value but people cant generate upward momentum through liquidity flow.

BananasGorilla_

ETH in 5 years: $1k ETH in 10 years: $0

Known-Presentation49

There is only so much money in the market. The rich are getting richer and the middle class is shrinking so the dumb money pool is shrinking. Why would be people buy ETH when they could just hold BTC.

bigbluedog2040

Buy ETH FIGR BTC and VCLT. Low inflation low growth assets

StrikePrestigious391

hmm, i never read the rules here, we can't talk about other crypto but BTC and ETH. and the rule of no BS ? Lol

CEO-of-SOXL

My wife and 3 kids have been a better investment that ETH, and that’s saying a lot.

ElmoLovesGrover

NUAI is a good swing trade if you can time it and if you aren't holding when the announce the inevitable dilution. A much better datacenter play is DGXX, baby. No long-term debt, they are installing one of their data centers in Alabama and it will be on-line *this* quarter. They offer modular datacenters. They select a site, negotiate power with the local utility, negotiate a hydrogen supplier, then ship the modules to the selected site and assemble them into a datacenter them there. Takes weeks, not months to assemble the data center. They are already in negotiations for clients for multiple sites including the Alabama site. Also own $15 million in BTC and ETH (I don't think that affects their share price much, but I know people on this sub get a woody about it. It up 71% past year, but down from its 52 week high of $6.78. **Elmo likes!** https://preview.redd.it/ln22atq1vybg1.png?width=210&format=png&auto=webp&s=666bc9fcee987b22648ce89d57de26eadc3daec8

Holding ETH is stone cold r word

Appropriate-Past-537

My top 3 holdings (BTC spot, ETH spot, NVDA) are \~60% of my total portfolio, pretty concentrated, but intentional (high conviction in crypto long-term + AI growth). The winner (BTC) ran hard and I let it ride without trimming much.

If you bought ETH or BTC last year you are down

and then the only survivor (Fat cuck Tom Lee) explains why he is bullish on ETH and SPY...to a raccoon.

respect the DD honestly, ETH trades always get spicy here. i’m not a full degen but i do keep some eth ready in best wallet so i can react fast without juggling exchanges. gas still hurts tho not gonna lie

cheekytikiroom

2026 is the year of widespread tokenization, and the bank-race for 24 hr equities trading. COIN and ETH, and to a lesser extent CRCL.

bigbluedog2040

Love BTC more. Better yet ETH

Game3k

Why’s everyone talking about ETH all of the sudden

Heyhayheigh

If you’re going to crypto, do the ETF’s in a broker like Fidelity. Set an auto weekly amount. Only sell when you have an urgent expense to pay for. Reality is that the blue chips crypto work similar to SP500 and Nasdaq, but the volatility is such that the penalty for panic selling is much more severe. You panic sel sp500 you might blow out 5-10%, 40% could be a Tuesday for BTC/ETH, people don’t understand the differences. I like crypto, but I don’t flinch at volatility. The plan is the same for me. Set to auto. Sell only when something urgent to pay for.

infinitetekk

I’m in $ETH $CCJ $QQQI and $PLBY is my only penny for now

Current-Run-2750

Do some research on how much stablecoins have grown in the last year, then look up what % are built on ETH. I'm not even a huge crypto guy, but it's right in front of our faces.

CDulst

No more cup noodles for me ETH?

Current-Run-2750

ETH is going to 10,000 this year. Heard it here first.

Alwaysfavoriteasian

BTC ain't even ripping like ETH

Bluebird-9641

I kind of did the same thing but at the other end of the spectrum: during a manic phase I sold my whole port for huge gains to dump all the profits into ETH around the top, then bought a new port heavy in BITO at the top and others (that I owned before, some at very low cost average) at ATHs swearing it's 'time in the market' not timing the market that matters. Down probably 20-25% rn. I don't care who reads this I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Alwaysfavoriteasian

He also said we're gonna blow past 7000, BTC to 200 and ETH at 10. Pick a side.

Only thing positive out of this is that the players what we have signed are not rubbish like the ones signed under ETH. A decent manager would get more points with this squad. Don’t be surprised if they sell Bruno as well now.

CDulst

I'm still down 18% on my ETH 👍

daners101

Margin requirements maybe contributed. But gold was going down regardless. Profit taking and algo trading would have pushed it down no matter what IMO. Technically it was overbought AF. It still is. I think it will make new ATHs in the summer. But BTC will make them first. I think BTC is gearing up for a face-ripper rally. Same with ETH.

CEO-of-SOXL

ETH will still be under 3k

Crazy_Donkies

I do.  I was an early adopter.  Went big in like 2018 or 2019.  Have owned XRP, SOL, ETH, and BTC.   After a lot of thought I've decided none of them are right for me.  

CDulst

Is that fat cuck gambling on ETH gonna hit the jackpot or not.

Separate_Salary_2197

just look at ETH

Goodoldhold

Just increased my leverage on ETH long. All in tits up. 100x leverage. Bought the dip 3121. Pray for me haha

Fun-Choices

It’s not money that I’m relying on, and it’s only $10k. It’s my first bitcoin purchase and that jump is what I’m hoping for. I plan on holding though because I do believe it’s gonna double at some point next year. If it does that, I’m selling my profits and putting it into another crypto. I bought about $5k in ETH as well so I’m gonna monitor both a bit more closely over the coming year. Happy to hear input as I’m pretty new to this.

Dazzling_Marzipan474

Alts didn't even do anything after Bitcoin hit all time high. Alts are just dead. They're WAY too diluted with other alts. BTC has had over 50% market cap dominance since October 2023. Even ETH is slowly going down in dominance too. https://preview.redd.it/58sr18gxiabg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e567d36188cf4033c5b04a82ce3df18b67366cdc

Dazzling_Marzipan474

Holy shit. Seriously sell all that crypto and just buy Bitcoin if you want crypto. Maybe a tiny bit of ETH too. I guarantee in 5 years Bitcoin will outperform the cumulative total of that shit box of crypto. I did the same shit years ago buying tons of alts and I did decent on lots of them but just buying Bitcoin would've completely outperformed. Because for every 2x or 3x you get you'll have 4 or 5 -90% coins. Others already said how bad the stocks are.

Dazzling-Match-4746

Looks like we need more kidnappings for BTC/ETH to reach tom lees price targets

Dazzling-Match-4746

$117k in UNH and UNHG and $9k in TMF, $14k in ETH, and $68k in CNC. And some calls mixed in too

tallerdetecnologia

Hello everyone. I am currently working on the development of a new cryptocurrency project completely independently and with a lot of motivation, but I want to be honest and transparent: I do not have the financial resources needed to cover the initial technical and operational costs required to get this project off the ground. For this reason, I am reaching out to the community with humility to ask for voluntary support. Any contribution, even a very small fraction of ETH, can make a meaningful difference and help me continue moving forward. My goal is to raise the equivalent of $50 USD in ETH, which will be used solely to take the first concrete steps of the project on the network. I sincerely appreciate anyone who can contribute or help by sharing this message. Wallet address: 0xE451Cb1FA187680c3C8a8E122f6FA00b1dEf1172 Network: BASE Thank you for your time, your support, and for believing in decentralized innovation. 🙏

FartingOnAMetalChair

my eli5 bit mine immersion tech is a thing you can invest in that is like the micro strategy of ETH. extremely bullish on ETH. OP is investing in a 2x leveraged long etf that tracks the price of bmnr. so op hoping ETH goes up bigly (and in the short term) bc 2x leverage etf things eat away at profits if things stay stagnant/flat

weiloong2

Its a DAT. Treasury firm for ETH.

dirty_F0x

Brother what you on? You want to recover losses and you buy OTM options on ETH based on some Fib level..?? My poor brother, you are in for a rude awakening in 2026. Cut them losses, but the remaining money in SPY/QQQ/GLD/TLT/IBIT/EFA and pray for another couple of great years in the stock market. And keep adding in those every month when you receive your pay check. And do not touch an option until you have banned technical analysis from your vocabulary and understand the importance of realized and implied volatility.

BTC and ETH ETFs

EvolvingDior

I can buy a lot more stuff with BTC or ETH than I can with gold.

My crypto might actually recover, thankfully I decided to double down on my robin hood gifts; and started hedging with BTC and ETH. Hoping to see new heights in 2026.

NVDAismyg0d

You’re never getting ETH below 3k again 

An_Unusual_Mind

If you are smart you would liquidate all your US stocks and go all in Pepe(ETH) coin. Just saying......

Cute-Satisfaction398

I’d park it in high-volatility crypto either short-term trades on ETH or BTC with leverage around major catalysts, or small-cap altcoins with strong volume + hype. That’s realistically where 10x can happen fast… and also where it can go to zero just as fast. Definitely not a “sleep well” play, more like active trading and strict exits.

Comprehensive_Tea388

If you're ever feeling like a giant retard, just remember Tom Lee said ETH would be $15k by now.

fintech-fire

I’m heavily in: AMZN. My wife bought SOL, ETH.

Various-Art-3190

Thank you for this detailed advice I really appreciate it. So my story is thay I immediately understood that options are not the way to go, at least for me. So first 1. I only took leaps with over 2 years time. Anything could happen within 2 years and youre absolutely right it can downtrend for 2 years before popping up right after 2028 and I lose everything. 2. I have a plan although very vague it might work. From 50k onwards id only have 20k in options while 30k is invested in these assets for life in spot & stocks. 3. For example if ETH recovers by say March 2026 to mid 3k, it would already be enough to sell at least half options. My goal is to get out of options as ironic as it sounds. I know this sounds foolish and vague.. but I think there's a higher chance say eth is higher and I can sell on a least a mini spike then staying under this price for 2 years. But again I understand that time cruelly proved these type of gambles to be completely wrong so I dont know lol

markaction

Dollars, but a lot of people do buy with crypto. Some people would borrow against their ETH and pay with stable-coins.

Hipsthrough100

I lost about .3ETH in options and learned it’s a mindfuck of being right at the wrong time or wrong at the right time, never right at the right time.

IntrepidAnxiety1160

i missed all but day 2. im in for the no 6. got 2.56 of ETH day 2. not expecting much tonight. hope somebody here gets the good stuff.

Significant_Yak_1108

Investing. Banks are backing BTC and ETH now.

ScrewChaseBank

Tom Lee going on CNBC giving absolutely retarded price targets on CORN and ETH should have been the signal to get the fuck out of this market. What a horrible Q4 individual stocks. It’s almost shocking how wrecked we got on almost everything.

Arlenter

All these companies got initial investors by saying "We're going to be the next MSTR for 'ETH'" Tough sell, LMAO Either buy ETH, or an ETH backed ETF. This is pure speculative ponzi.

SoloOutdoor

Same reason Tom "fat cuck" Lee said spx 7000 and ETH 2k

Emotional_Ad3951

I'm up 6 figures on BTC alone. Call it what you want. I don't do shit coins. I have some into ETH and a small amount into SOL. Nothing else. Paid my taxes. Taken my profits and put it the profits into VTI and my retirement. May rejoin if BTC hits $50k. I think it remains in a transition period and we are still finding the intrinsic value with the ongoing adoption. Calling it gambling or a sure fire thing are both dangerous and foolish. Not being able to accept changes is also equally dangerous.

cinJESUS

BMNR’s average ETH cost basis is $3,900 😂😂😂

bill_txs

It is a high risk investment. The crypto market continues to gain market value and BTC and ETH in particular have captured high percentages of that market. The investment thesis is that over time, BTC will gain traction as a digital alternative to gold as a monetary asset. The fact that it's unclear whether this adoption will happen or how deeply is the reason why BTC is valued only at 10% of gold. Gold is also a speculative asset in that it is widely believed to store value which is why central banks hold it in reserves. You might find there are differences between how old someone is and whether they consider gold or BTC a superior store of value. What does this mean in 20 years as the generations shift? Investors under 40 are 3x more likely to view BTC as a superior store of value compared to gold. When/if BTC matures, is it likely a store of value asset will outperform a productive asset (like the S&P). Judging by gold, the answer is no. But gold has outperformed more conservative investments such as treasuries. So I would say it is a higher risk investment similar to an individual small cap tech stock. It may perform well but there is some risk of a large loss as well. This is why it's not recommended to allocate more than 1-10% to this.

markaction

Yes, USD is required for that (although you can also pay your taxes with crypto, without using USD). Also, ETH is required to make a transaction on Ethereum. You are just talking about use-cases. That is not intrinsic value.

Weary_Strawberry2679

Who's trying to convince you to do anything? You can continue sleeping for as far as I'm concerned. :) I'll continue holding small portions of 5-10% the size of my portfolio in BTC and ETH, and, let's see what happens. Cheers mate.

gentryb_1

i mean there's gambling and then there's gambling. DCAing into ETH over 5 years is way different than aping into a token that launched yesterday tbh

SpyStocks1

I don’t think it’s automatically gambling, but it can turn into gambling fast. I see it like this: BTC/ETH as a small, long-term allocation = investing. Chasing memes = gambling.

WaronBuffetMunger

Why is investing less than 1% of your portfolio in BTC and ETH fun as hell?

youreaditfirst

Tell me why bro? Just buy ETH. This crypto stocks are not going to be popping in 2026

PalpitationSmooth992

they have been spamming me with texts about this vote coming up literally 5 times a day no matter how many times i block the number the vote is for dilution so they can buy more ETH and exec bonuses ive been waiting to get out of this trash you are better of just buying ETHA

lupindub

On RH they only let you stake ETH and SOL for now. Just click on the coin and scroll down to where it says manage staking

Electronic-Air-2444

Lol I got the same thing. Lol when it popped up it said I won 2.56 ETH. I initially thought, Holy shit! Lol then I realized it was 2.56 dollars worth of eth. Hahaha letdown!

Glittering-Praline59

In general the best time to buy is when there is blood on the streets. Now is a good time to invest in crypto, especially BTC and ETH and also bet on some small caps like DOGE and SHIB.

RED-DOT-MAN

So far it's just been crypto: BTC, ETH, SOL and DOGE

magoojc

Update since this morning: ETH - I was awarded $2.56 on Sunday, and today at 6:15pm EST it's worth $2.57 BOOM!!! SOL - I was awarded $2.74 on Monday, it's now still worth $2.74 In summary, I'm a penny richer than yesterday. Umm, well actually, with all the end-of-year sell-off going on, I'll just say the things in my portfolio that dropped today were made 1 penny less bad thanks to the gains of my RH gift of $2.56 in Etherium lol.

lupindub

Just for shits and giggles I just staked both the ETH and SOL so now I’m getting 2%-4% APY on my crumbs

zerofrakhere

I got $2.5 in ETH

Jstsonline

They exist and work. Certainly if you are waiting until the last minute to login, you’ll be competing with every other user that’s doing the same time. I’ve logged in 5min before each time and just left it on the screen - zero issues. Here’s what I saw: 1 was 1.19 of Doge 2 was 2.80 of BTC 3 was 2.56 of ETH 4 was 2.74 of SOL

Upstairs-Highlight-3

Point taken...thanks. Yeah, I was also thinking would be nice to get chunk of premium up-front now that I can invest into something else (BTC or ETH?).  I intend to hold PLTR for another 5 years at least.

GrossFleshSack

It means the market cap of SBET is valued at 75% of what their ETH holdings are currently worth. This has been hovering in the 80-90% range for awhile but recently dropped. The last time it was so low they bought their own shares with cash holdings.

GrossFleshSack

SBET mnav is in the juicy range, I wouldn't be surprised to see a share buyback soon. ETH at 75% discount, earning from staking.

HardGayMan

Yup. I know this. Still sucks. It's not like I got out with nothing. I still sold some of my original ETH close to $1000. I made out with a decent amount of money, but absolutely nothing like what it would have been. Oh well! I am definitely done with moon shots though haha. I am into boring stocks now that I never check but once a year or so. Much better for my sanity.

dimsum_eater

Currently: \~85% equities (93% of those equities in VTI equivalents; 7% of those equities in QQQM). \~15% in cash equivalents (high-yields savings account, treasury bills/notes, money market accounts, etc.). Holding <1% in cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH). Contributing same for 2026 and letting market do its thing (no plans on intervening/rebalancing).

Fr1ked

It's easy to look back now and think what could've happened. Who knows, maybe in a different timeline you would be talking about how you wish you did invest in that one coin or a company that would make you rich but you held your stake in ETH... There're not many people that buy near all time lows and sell at all time highs. Enjoy the ride, we're not done yet.

skinpanther

I got like somewhere between 2.50 and 3.00 in DOGE, then in BTC, then ETH, and today in SOL. That’s the only crypto I have—without knowing much, I kind of like the SOL the best and will probably try to move all those other coins into just SOL when this thing is over. 🤷‍♂️

Boston-Bets

Anyone here looking at ETHZ? Small ($100M) Cap, but they have like $200M in ETH on the books. Think a mini-BMNR. Price has dropped significantly this past month, but Capybara Stock's (of BYND) has gotten involved now, with a semi-public buyout offer.

Econmajorhere

Bro I got $5 total in BTC/ETH/DOGE. If I move to Nigeria I could buy a sandwich.
