ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

My blind dachshund did better than Solana. But according to some it did out perform ETH “every. single. day.”

Losing 40% is a tough lesson but your pivot to DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) and focus on BTC/ETH is the most sustainable way to survive a drawdown. Many people make the mistake of 'revenge trading' in micro-caps to win it all back but that usually leads to zero.
​As someone building in this space I've seen that 'dry powder' (USDC) is your biggest asset during high fear (Index at 18). It allows you to buy when others are frozen. Also keeping an eye on institutional moves like JPMorgan and Harvard is smart they play the long game, and so should we.
​Stay disciplined with your bi weekly buys. The market rewards those who can automate their logic and remove their emotions.

Man, it's tough to say if any one coin will be the *next* BTC or ETH. Honestly, I've stopped looking for that exact thing. Instead, I focus on identifying smaller projects that have real tech or a strong community behind them, especially in the meme coin and micro-cap space. It's a totally different game than trying to catch the next blue chip. I've found that keeping tabs on a few select wallets that consistently find these gems has been super helpful for me. It's less about finding the 'next big thing' and more about finding the *current* thing that's about to blow up.

Use one that stakes if you've got it in ETH. It's a no brainer to have a staking ETN to avoid CGT on the additional earnt from staking as well

Sold 80% Nov 24 thru Jan 25.
Kept 10% of those profits in USDC as dry powder to buy in bear.
Currently staking remaining ETH, BTC in vault.
Delta 60% spot long, 40% short via monthly 27 MAR futures.

Held through October feeling pretty good about myself. Then watched everything slowly fall apart and did absolutely nothing useful for like six weeks. Just refreshed prices and hoped.
$2 trillion out of the crypto market. My altcoin bag is a joke right now. Fear index at 18. So last week I finally stopped moping and actually sat down to figure out what I should be doing instead of just vibing with the red candles.
Here's where I landed. Tear it apart if you think I'm wrong, genuinely want the pushback.
Moved 25% to USDC. Not rage quitting, just want dry powder. If this drops another 20% I want to be the guy buying, not the guy frozen watching it happen again.
Staking the ETH I refuse to sell. Throwing it on Lido for now. 3-4% APY isn't going to save me but it beats just letting it sit there bleeding. At least it's doing something.
Stopped trying to pick the bottom. I was wrong three times. THREE. So now I'm just doing fixed buys every two weeks and not thinking about it. Way less stressful honestly.
Dumped most of the micro-caps. Kept it heavy on BTC and ETH. If things get uglier, I'd rather be holding stuff that has actually come back from the dead before.
The thing that keeps me from full panic mode is looking at 2018 and 2022. Both times felt like it was genuinely over. Both times it wasn't. And now JPMorgan just flipped bullish on crypto for 2026. Harvard sat through a 35% ETH drawdown and didn't blink. These aren't retail degenerates, they have actual risk teams making these calls.
Not telling anyone to buy. Not telling anyone to sell. Just sharing what I'm doing because I figure some of you are sitting in the same spot I was two weeks ago, frozen and not sure what move to make.
So what's everyone actually doing right now? Sitting in stables? Still accumulating? Completely checked out? Would genuinely love to know.
Also used AI to help me structure some of this, so if it sounds slightly too coherent for a Monday morning that's why lol

ETH and BTC are both always a good buy idea

Crude oil surging, stock futures down, foreign markets down... ETH up? huh, that's new

In my trading account im short s&p futures, and long puts, long wheat futures calls on this geo conflict trade and long copper futures puts. I also have a small position in PATH calls.
Retirement account is mostly cash, small PATH position, ETH on this selloff, TLT, SQQQ, and QQQ puts. The sqqq shares and qqq puts are trades that will be taken off and put back on as often as necessary. Every bounce we get i put the trade on and after the selloff taken off. 

ETH is a shitcoin. The sooner people realize this, the better.

Planning to Buy ETH

I was about to take my 12k in ETH and sell it for shorting money. But nevermind ! 📈
Higher oil prices = higher inflation = rotate out of the dollar

~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap.

BTC and ETH for the long term. But I think ecosystems like Solana still have huge growth potential because of the speed and developer activity.

I guess i'm not being clear here. I fully understand i am short 100 shares, hence the -100 position. I also understand that the broker (on my behalf) goes and purchases those shares as the current market value and sells them to the contract buyer at the strike price and I eat the difference. What my question was, was it mere coincidence that the value of the shares I bought (IBKR on my behalf w/ MY money if I must be technical) happened to be the split second that the shares got to their ETH high or is there some other mechanism in place that gets them the high during ETH when manually exercising.

To reiterate, i understand why the price went up, I am trying to grasp the timing and the price at which seller exercising occurred. I've still not seen an option w/ that much extrinsic value at 4:59ET that was 5% away from strike still.

If the package is lost, I will deal with USPS on the insurance and you will be reimbursed the full amount of your purchase plus up to $300 in market losses if spot is higher than spot listed in this ad, once received from the post office.

thorchain is the best option for native BTC to ETH swap, no wrapping, no custodian.
if you're okay with wrapped BTC, any major DEX on ethereum like uniswap works fine after bridging.
for simplicity [sideshift.ai](http://sideshift.ai) or changenow are clean non-custodial options that handle it in one step.
