Honestly for long term holders the juice isn’t always worth the squeeze on yield strategies. The platform risk, smart contract risk, and tax complexity can outweigh the 3-5% you might earn annually. I just hold in cold storage and accept that my yield is whatever BTC and ETH appreciate. Not sexy but it’s simple and secure.

If you’re going to do anything, native ETH staking is probably the lowest risk yield option for long term holders. You’re supporting the network, the yield is predictable, and if you use a reputable staking service the risk is pretty manageable. Everything else - lending platforms, liquidity pools, wrapped tokens - introduces additional layers of risk that you need to be really honest with yourself about.

Hi I need urgent advice!!! Gemini is ceasing operations in my area and I have tried over the last couple of weeks to transfer my crypto into other wallets and unstake ETH but it’s not working!!!
I have used their customer service form multiple times with no answer and their apparent office phone number doesn’t work!
Does anyone know what I can do to save my crypto amounts? I have until March 6th until it ceases operations in Australia and then it’s gone forever.

For BTC there’s not really traditional staking obviously but you can wrap it to WBTC and use it in DeFi yield strategies. I don’t personally do this because the smart contract risk makes me nervous but some people are comfortable with it. For ETH just native staking is the safest bet if you have 32 ETH or use a liquid staking protocol like Lido or Rocket Pool if you don’t.

Actually ETH Bitcoin Gold Shib etc are all perfectly valued. Unless you know some arbitrage play that you are not telling us in your post?

Other than the obvious $BTC and $ETH, there is $SOL, $RENDER, $TAO and $DOGE

In previous cycles, Bitcoin dominance fell by 52% and 30% over roughly one year. The current BTC.D chart is showing a similar tapering pattern. If this continues, BTC.D could drop around 28% in 2026, from about 58% to roughly 30%. That scenario would likely come with a rise in ETH dominance. This cycle could always diverge from the past, but the setup on the chart is hard to ignore.

If you believe in ETH buy it. If you don’t believe in ETH don’t buy it

Over the long-term the easiest thing to do is buy an ETF of US stocks (SPY, VOO), growth stocks (QQQ), emerging markets (VWO, IEMG), real estate etfs (VNQ, IYR), oil (XLE, USO), and any individual stocks of companies you feel you have a good understanding of
I would also consider IGV due to how much software stocks have dropped recently
I also recommend a small allocation (5% or less) towards Ethereum and Bitcoin (BTC, ETH, MSTR) if you can stomach the risk
Consider an allocation of:
25% SPY
20% QQQ
20-25% VWO
0-10% IGV
5% VNQ
5% XLE
0-5% BTC, ETH, MSTR

if you're moving funds into Solana from other chains to start LPing, check out [flake.exchange](http://flake.exchange) . Super clean for ETH or BTC to Solana low fees, fast, and no KYC. Makes onboarding way smoother.

It also secures the network via staking.
If ethereum becomes a main settlement layer for the world, some stake needs to secure all the transactions. And stake depends on ETH price

No mentioning of ETH

stablecoin LPs on curve or velodrome, boring but safe.
if you want more yield, pendle lets you lock in fixed rates on ETH staking rewards which is underrated in a bear.
avoid anything above 50% APY rn. that's just inflation tokens waiting to dump on you.

Yeah but let’s keep shittin on ETH and buy Sol or so

it is a cool project, I'm not sure how to consider its outlook now that the L2-centric roadmap is taking a back seat to ETH L1 development.

I was in Ethereum since it was created. I get it more than you. Yes it does great things and I love using it, and it made a lot of sense when the burn rate was more then the issuance rate, but now, I don’t see why ETH should be worth more then any arbitrary amount because I only need a couple cents of it to do what I want to do. It’s not money.

It's a mix of culture and technical limitations, but the landscape is changing rapidly.
The dominant Bitcoin narrative remains "digital gold." Most holders prefer to hold their BTC in cold storage (HODL) for security, rather than risking it on DeFi protocols for returns, which is the norm on ETH.
Unlike Ethereum or Solana, Bitcoin doesn't natively support complex smart contracts. To do DeFi on Bitcoin, you rely on Layer 2 (L2) infrastructure. But as L2 infrastructure matures and allows BTC to be used as collateral with less risk, the narrative will shift.

Gambling … come out of it … put in SPY OR ETH now and watch it come up in next few months. Do not chase the losses … will loose further. Gone is gone. Try to save what you got now else be called a loser forever. It’s difficult to recover from it … most of us have got similar experience after trading losses. So accept it as it is and move on. Else be got stuck there.
