Put in only what you can afford to lose. Stick to the big guns, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB etc…
Use reputable exchange, crypto.com, binance, coinbase
Keep most of your investing in stocks and don’t weight it more crypto.
If you want a tasty gamble on some shit coin for x100 return - do it with fun money you can spare and expect to lose this. Sometimes it pays off - DOGE and PEPE for me but Ive also lost with bad timing and rug pulls such as Safemoon etc - but it was fun nonetheless.

It does not feel like a win to me at this point. Long-term ETH holders feel like veterans coming home from a war with missing limbs. Yeah, we survived, but the trauma inflicted by ETH’s scam-like price action over the past five years has been the stuff of nightmares.
I seriously did not hold ETH all these years just to swing trade it every time it touched $4K. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to celebrate right now. BTC is almost $10K above its 2021 ATH, BNB is knocking on its 2021 ATH, and ETH is barely clinging to $2.4K.
It’s a sick joke.

Donald Trump bought this fckn crypto dip, now the SEC is behind Donald Trump!!
Fkn legend!!!!

The current ETH price is garbage. BTC is almost $6K above its 2021 ATH, BNB is near its 2021 ATH, and TRX is more than 2× its 2021 ATH. At this point, ETH as an investment is still a failure.
Even if ETH went to $5K tomorrow, I still wouldn’t call it a win—not after all the stress this asset, and the behavior of its own investors, has inflicted on fellow ETH holders. We recently had an ETH investor capitulate at $1.9K. Sorry, but if ETH investors themselves don’t believe in the asset and are willing to sell out - or effectively rug everyone else - at these pathetic levels, how is ETH supposed to compete with BTC as a store of value?
I’m not getting all that stress-induced time back. At this point, ETH needs to go to $10–20K while BTC goes essentially nowhere for me to feel like the time, effort, and opportunity cost were actually worth it.

The top comment asks what happens if it dumps now. Worth knowing what the base rates say, and also what they do not say.

I pulled every daily candle across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) that closed +15% or more. 253 instances. The day after: 57.9% closed red, 30.3% worse than -5%. But the mean next-day return was +0.92% against a +0.21% baseline, and the median was -1.51%. Barbell, not a drift. About one in seven ripped another 10%+ and carried the average by itself.

Then I tried to get more specific, because that is exactly the setup we are in now: the pump day was followed by a green day. Across the same sample, the second day after that pattern was green only 41.1% of the time (n=107). Nine points below baseline. That looked like a real edge.

So I split the history in half and ran each half separately. First half 38.6%, second half 52.6%. The effect reversed. Sample sizes in the second half are small, but a result that flips sign when you cut the data is not a result, it is a coincidence with good marketing.

So I do not have a call for today, and that is the honest answer. What I do have is a note about the first number: after a vertical day, red is the modal outcome, but the tail that pays is fat enough to make the average positive. Anyone quoting only one of those two numbers at you is selling something.

Method: daily candles, Binance spot, close vs open on the same candle for the pump day, close to close after.

Idk, I see this photo as a warning.
Altcoins are altcoins.
Bitcoin is Bitcoin.
If you actually see a graph of ETH/BTC is not getting higher, rather seeking all time lows.
I think BNB can be something interesting...but...
BTC is a hard benchmark to beat.
Speaking of SP500...
We can't know what the real real impact of the AI will be, maybe this is an exponencial growth for the next 20 years or maybe we'll see a crash next year. AI is a revolution only comparable to industrial revolution and the development of internet.
Now, using this specific moment of human kind to bluff about how their lazy custodied indexed funda are Intrinsically better than BTC or LITERALLY ANY OTHER INVESMENT is...well... A low blow at least, and being stupidly tribalist (NPC²) at worst.

The first decision is whether you want cold storage or a wallet you will actively use. For long-term holdings, a hardware wallet is a different category. For everyday USDC, choose an interface whose transaction and network prompts you actually understand, then make a small receive/send test and back up the seed offline before moving more.
That beginner-UX problem is exactly why I'm building ARX, a fully local, open-source Windows self-custody wallet. Simple mode opens with BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL and BNB instead of dumping privacy plumbing on a new user; WalletConnect and swaps are there when needed, while Privacy mode stays separate.

It is a bit of older news, but I am not sure if it was shared here, if so I totally missed it:
Some things seem to be changing in the space. In 2025 Ondo, a stock and bond tokenizer announced that they will launch Ondo chain in the future. It would be an L1 specifically made for tokenized stocks and trading. Later in 2025 they then launched their tokenized products on Ethereum and then expanded to other chains, mostly on BNB, some on Stellar, some on Solana, some even on XRP. Nowadays the majority is on Ethereum, some individual stocks are larger on BNB and some bonds weirdly are the largest on XRP.
About a month ago Ondo announced their 'evolution' of their L1 plans and announced Ondo Network. This currently is pretty much a perp specific L2 on top of Ethereum. They realized strong settlement guarantees and fast trading cannot be solved together, improving one side makes the other one worse. So they came up with a new design, where Ethereum does the settlement and a small number (only 1?) of sequencers facilitate the trade. Trades are not public, but their validity is verified by attesters. I am not sure how they do the data availability, but pretty sure they are not using blobs. They probably have some inhouse solution. Their official announcement and blog post does not mention Ethereum (as usual...).
I played around in their UI and they definitely only accept USDC deposits from Ethereum. Some reports mention Ethereum as the settlement layer and some other also mention that they will expand this mechanism to other L1s. For perps it is pretty easy to accept stablecoins and settle to different chains, but with tokenized stocks it probably is a bit tougher to have enough liquidity on various chains to warrant an expansion. From the TVLs they have on various chains, it looks reasonable to expand to BNB for them, but on other chains they have really small TVLs and most often just a subset of their products available. BNB also already has their own perps venues, so not sure how Binance would look at this additional competition. So, I am not sure if it is worth it for them to expand, except obviously if they are getting paid to do it. All in all it is great to see that Ethereum is getting used for the properties it is strong at.

Since the top comment is asking whether this is a bull trap, here's what the base rates actually say. I pulled every day across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) where the coin closed up 15% or more on the day. 253 instances. Then I looked at the following day.

57.9% of those next days closed red. 30.3% closed more than 5% down. 13.8% closed more than 10% down.

But the average next-day return is +0.92%, comfortably above the +0.21% baseline for a random day.

Both of those are true at once, and that is the whole point. The median next day is -1.51% while the mean is positive, because 14.6% of the time the thing rips another 10%+ and drags the average up by itself. The distribution is barbell shaped, not centered.

So "is it a bull trap" is the wrong shape of question. Most days after a big pump are red, and the ones that aren't are occasionally enormous. If you size for the average you get run over by the median. If you size for the median you miss the tail that pays.

Method: daily candles, Binance spot, up day measured close vs open on the same candle. Happy to be told this breaks somewhere I didn't test.

Even LTC/BNB was delisted by Binance today 8/18. Paper reserves getting thinner. 😂

Geez, what happened to ETH? I am convinced it's pumping so hard because I don't have it anymore in my portfolio. Bought some SOL and BNB on the way down though.

You forgot BNB

This was the biggest hurdle I hit when running the cost-adjusted validation stage.
I modeled friction at 6–7 bps per side (12–14 bps round trip) to reflect taker crossing fees + spread on Binance perps. On strategies with gross edge of 8–10 bps you get completely destroyed!!
That’s why I had to discourage scalping 15 mins and under scalp bots, which are mathematically unviable at retail taker rates. I shifted emphasis to 4h–44h hold horizons lowering the break-even hurdle from 42 bps to \~24 bps**.**
I aso tried restricting counter trend positions, and aligned the router to align with macro regime direction... swung gross edge by +6.6 bps.
But you're right: without TWAP execution or maker rebates, thin-edge bots (<15 bps gross) simply cannot clear the friction hurdle in production. Even if the platform uses its own wallet and avails the BNB discount, thin edge bots might not be profitable, at least the ones I coded!

memecoin that's literally called The Bull Is Coming during a bear market?
That's either genius marketing or the most tragic irony I've ever seen.

The fact that it's holding $0.04 after a massive pump is actually impressive most of these things get dumped into oblivion, but it's still a BNB Chain meme coin and could run more buyers picks it up or fade into obscurity

Not worth the risk to start playing with the bank here with Binance. The simplest way is to trade to a low-fee crypto, and send it to your wallet. Leave BNB as the last one. Or for example to OKX, since that have a tasty 8% deposit bonus at the moment.
Not sure of how much are we talking about in here :)

Hi, I live in Finland. As I understood that we should really clear all our asset from Binance away soon since it will become more complicated. I now still have small amount of euros there, and a bit more includes BTC, ETH, Sol, BNB. I am planning to either 1. withdraw the euro back to my bank or 2. buy all BTC. The BTC and other coins I will move to trust wallet. But for the 3. BTC and ETH since the fee to draw to trust wallet is high. I was planning to swap to SOL on Binance then transfer to trust wallet and then swap SOL to BTC in trust wallet.
I am quite new to this and it has been changing so much and I am trying to catching up. I would like to ask, if you have any suggestions for my case or my plan is already good. I appreciate your help and please spare me if any of my questions doesn't make sense or stupid. Thank you!
