Why does it not work like that with BTC? Or stocks? Gold? Your thinking holds back ETH.

Anything under 70k I'm a heavy buyer, but I kept this cash I have in reserve for later this fall if the 4 year cycle plays out and we have another slightly lower low. If this doesn't happen, I have no issue buying around these prices, but it would be awesome to buy at the mid 50k range and below.
Your thoughts pertaining to Solana are something I've kept on the back of my mind. I'm aware of the shutdowns with that chain, and as the other poster on here mentioned that is a bit of a red flag. What attracted to me to it is that it mirrors ETH very closely but has slightly more potential to the upside while offering pretty generous staking yields.
I'm just not really that excited about ETH and when it comes to buying that or BTC I am way more interested in buying the BTC. I had a solid stack going into 2021 that I held onto for a while but I ended up converting that over to BTC way back in early 2024. I spent months thinking about it, but with it trading close to .06 to BTC and with the possibility of it crashing hard it was a no brainer. Fast forward to spring of 2025, just over a year later, it was trading at under .02 to BTC at under $1400. I ended up making a lump sum purchase there that I'm still holding, but at current valuation I'm just not that interested.
I really am leaning towards throwing these funds I have 100% into BTC. This was my strategy way back in 2022 when I was buying at 20k and under at around the 200 week moving average, which are right at now. My biggest mistake with 2018-2020 was being too heavily invested into alts, I got away with it at the time though because everything was so cheap AND we had that very impressive 2021 alt season. We basically had no alt season in 2024-2025, but there's a part of me that thinks because everyone has given up on them we actually see this play out in 2027 or 2028, as big money has been scooping them up while retail panic sells. This is a big reason why I want to just hold what I currently have instead of flipping stuff around.
I'm way ahead of the curve and honestly kind of forget about this at times. The reality is that I have more than enough and won't miss a damn thing.

>The Genesis Block — Block #0, mined on January 3, 2009.
The Genesis block wasn't mined, it was created. That's the reason why Satoshi made the **50 BTC reward of that block non spendable**. The block could be created only by himself and it would be unfair to the rest of the, at that time nonexistent, network.
Vitalik for example, created 72,009,995 ETH in the Genesis block of his shitcoin. **All spendable**.
Do you see the difference between a genius and a scammer?

I'm with ya. Was a cardano maxi, sorta still bullish but theyve got a massive branding problem even if the tech is good. It's probably a 3rd world governance + rwa platform eventually.
BTC is all brand. 99% of use cases will be ETH + LINK + Google/Apple running private wallets on your phone

To me, a Bitcoin hard fork proposal "going through" means that all exchanges, ETFs, and regulatory bodies recognize the new fork as "Bitcoin (BTC)".
I think the chances that these entities recognized "eCash" as "Bitcoin (BTC)" and renamed the old Bitcoin chain to e.g. "Bitcoin Legacy (BTL)" were effectively exactly 0%.
That's in contrast to Ethereum, where it hard forks once or twice per year for updates. The new chain fork inherits the name "Ethereum (ETH)" and (with the exception of Ethereum Classic) the old chain fork is universally discarded/unmarketed/unnamed.

**Russia just exposed Bitcoin’s most dangerous feature.**
Not scarcity. Not volatility. Not mining.
**Exit.**
Moscow is opening the door to Bitcoin, ETH, and USDT.
But ordinary Russians will face limits on how much crypto they can buy through regulated intermediaries.
Why?
Because Russia wants crypto’s power… without fully accepting crypto’s freedom.
Bitcoin is useful when sanctions threaten Russian trade.
Stablecoins are useful when traditional payment rails fail.
**Crypto is useful when Moscow wants financial sovereignty from Washington.**
**But when citizens want monetary sovereignty from Moscow?**
Suddenly, limits appear.
That is the paradox.
Governments love Bitcoin when it weakens **someone else’s** financial control.
They become much less comfortable when it weakens **their own**.
And Bitcoin doesn’t care.
No nationality. No investor classification. No central bank. No annual purchase limit written into the protocol.
Russia can regulate the gateways.
It cannot rewrite Bitcoin.
**Russia wants Bitcoin’s power without Bitcoin’s freedom.**
That contradiction tells us where the real battle over money is heading.

Probably not.
However, now, two things are clear:
- Staked ETH is constantly increasing. In fact, after more than a year of stability at 30%, it is increasing at the fastest rate allowed by the network and is already at 35%.
- The network is perfectly decentralized, with many people willing to take the risk of staking for the current APY.
Imo, this is enough data to propose a better model.

That's literally just this thread. I'm around crypto a long time without ever getting too into it and I wouldn't be 100% on a lot of that. There is literally no hope of mass adoption while it looks like this and while there's no safety net. You may understand it because you're deeply into it, but it's a mess.
Again - I'm pro crypto.

*I have no idea what the price will do next, but I know this:*
*The first breakout move will be a fakeout. The real move will be on the other direction within a day.*
*So, let's hope ETH moves a bit down before it moves up.*

If I would swap to ETH with my ada I would just put it into Bitcoin, eth isn't going to make massive gains. Asking about Solana here, not Link.

The sad thing is … I can’t even sell my BTC and ETH to buy good stocks … everything is either expensive or pure crap

With the exception of ETH and USDT, there is no such thing as a quality alt.

I have some rETH on zkSync and I'm surprised of the price difference between rETH on zkSync VS rETH on Ethereum.
Why is that?
When I try to swap rETH to USDC, ETH or even bridging to rETH on Ethereum, the DEX warns me of a huge price impact (about 10-15%).
Is it just because of low liquidity on of rETH on zkSync?

So if BTC becomes less volatile and more mature, more institutions buy in and more whales prefer it because it's more stable and with long term returns. So more liquidity comes in for BTC, less liquidity for memecoins, and other useless altcoins, and then liquidity might move towards the quality altcoins that these institutions and whales might see an opportunity in.
So maybe in the near future in the next bull run no more altseason but more like BTC, ETH and 10-50 quality alts that have real usage.
What do you think?
Identifying the possible winners by researching more might be worth it.

BTC is the only one worth owning tbh. I have ETH as well but it doesn’t perform.

Hoping to get some clarity on this process? I recently withdrew my Kiln position in my Ledger Wallet on 8/10/26. Assuming this entire process would take like 3-5 days to complete & I thought I would see the funds back in my wallet after a week. Apparently that's not at all how this process works, after reading a little bit more it's quite an involved backend process that in volves an NFT being minted and I guess you can convert that back to your ETH along with its rewards? My concern lies in what I've been reading online some comments mention the process takes a week, while others say "The queue is busy & could take 40 DAYS"? If someone could explain to me the process here & maybe somewhere I can figure out how much longer I'd appreciate it.

Me too... I'd be done, would unstake and sell around 3/4 of it immediately. I've already lost so much trust and confidence in ETH because of this. It's extremely bizarre that this is even being proposed as a serious option.

XMR is the only true crypto. Look at it's performance compared to BTC in the last year. SOL, ADA, ETH, all joke.

Right, criticize the person who was buying ETH at $100 and Bitcoin below 10k lol.
