ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I thought when ETH dipped like this they honoured the trades but that was years ago.

tldr; Nearly $2.3 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options are expiring, creating a critical moment for crypto markets. Bitcoin options account for $1.94 billion, with a max pain level at $92,000, while Ethereum options total $347.7 million, with a max pain level at $3,200. Traders are showing cautious bullish bias, but dense strike clustering is keeping volatility high. Post-expiry hedging flows could lead to sharp market moves as risk is repriced. Macro risks and technical levels will influence the next market direction for BTC and ETH.

About a year ago I started buying a little. I put aside about $200/month and bought Morgan’s and not enough ASEs. I also lost track and kept buying more ETH. I just sold about $50 Face value for double my investment but regret buying more

ETH contract deployments reach record high thanks to transactions fees all time-lows

Gold to 5k ahead of ETH!

I believe in it enough to still hold some ETH. I've definitely downsized my ETH stack this year but I'd be pretty emotionally torn if I had no ETH and it even went on a moderate run. No sense selling now just to buy with fomo during a run so I'm sitting on the rest.

I stick to ETH/USDC pools, with a range of about 25%. You still get a very nice APY, without having to really touch it most of the time.
When a pool goes out of range, wait a day or two to see what the market does. And then re-evaluate whether you want to re-balance your pool, or just wait it out for a while.
I wouldn't worry about downside protection. Yes, you can open a short, and try and hedge, but that requires more capital, and might not always work when the market goes back up.
I opened a small 5x short a few days ago, but it wasn't necessary to protect my LP, it was just to put some more money into my pools.

Just buy BTC+ETH and hold. Don't trade.

Best ETH can do is a Wendy’s coupon

ETH > buttcorn
or so the eth bol thought before dumping to molten core

SOL and ETH staking in Robinhood

And you are still asking if altcoins are still the way to quick gains. Yes, if you think winning the lottery is quicker method to retirement, by all means, put 100% in memecoins. If you wanted to participate in altcoins, ETH should have been the only altcoin for you to consider. Now, if you really wanted to "trade" dogecoin/shiba/etc., that should have been a very small % of your portfolio, maybe 1-2% only.

Gold is basically at $5,000 now - sitting around $4,972.90. And somehow ETH still hasn’t broken $5K in 2026 after nearly doing it four years ago. Let that sink in.
What’s even more ridiculous is watching crypto KOLs constantly screaming doom about the very market they claim to represent. These people are supposed to be advocates, yet all they do is talk it down like they’re rooting for failure. And then they wonder why retail has zero confidence.
Why would any sane investor want to get involved when influencers are begging for crashes and celebrating lower prices - while traditional markets are ripping? Just look at the Russell 2000. Stocks, gold, everything else moving higher… and crypto Twitter is cheering for pain.
The industry seriously needs to wake up. You don’t build an asset class by hoping for liquidation events and scaring off newcomers. That’s not “smart money,” that’s self-sabotage. Long-term success comes from conviction and holding - not nonstop FUD so someone can reload cheaper.

Shitcoins are called shitcoins because... well they're shit.
I learned my lesson too (thank god only with a loss of +/- 100 USD) but I got burned once and stay with 80% BTC 20% ETH atm.

Gold 5k, Silver 100, Bitcoin 100K, ETH 5k
Let’s see some nice round numbers.

You're only right if you talk about one of the rare POW coins that respect the Nakamoto consensus like Bitcoin or Kaspa.
For POS cryptocompanies like ETH, SOL or XRP... It's more similar to the banking system with distribution being more advantageous for insiders or distributing more supply to the rich simply for being rich with staking.
But stablecoins are another story, they are not censorship resistant no matter the protocol (Tether and Circle can still block your fund manually.) and they are still affected by inflation from the money printing of the central bank.

Bruh, crypto IS NOT Digital Gold.
Most of the current holders of BTC treat it as Store of Value which is why BTC is likened as Digital Gold. It is not even the original intention AFAIK since it was created for digital payment.
Crypto is not just BTC.
Stablecoins like USDT and USDC on the other hand are being used as digital currency. For what it is worth, the US’ Genius Act already has some form of regulation on this. While surveillance won’t be as closely monitored as a CBDC like Digital Yuan, amendments in future regulations could make it feel like there are more Government overreach.
ETH is more likened to Digital Oil. ETH along with other crypto tokens can help facilitate smart contracts. Like oil, it can help something get going.
LINK is more likened to Digital Rail. Linking both TradFi and the blockchain technology. Tokenization is the future of finance and Chainlink is going to help bridge the gap.
Meme coins are more likened to penny stocks because both are dependent on hype.

Not DeFi, but SBET is trading at .79 of its NAV with fully staked ETH in its treasury. Assuming their ETH is yielding 2.5%, by buying their stock at a discount your ETH yield in terms of your share of their earnings would be 3.2%

I'm hoping someone can offer me some doom and gloom regarding my ETH investment such that I may sell everything and never look back. Thanks!
