And BTC isn't even falling yet, it's just ETH.

I have also that feeling (backed by nothing) that crypto especially ETH will take off between February and March.

Firstly focus on stablecoin pools offering double digit APYs across AMMs like Curve, Aerodrome or Uniswap
then focus on the projects issuing that stablecoin if they are alright
then focus on ETH LP pools but use either Perps/Options for hedging your ETH exposure

ETH’s been quietly doing the work. Upgrades like this plus steady L2 growth are exactly what institutions care about. I’m not BTC-only anymore, watching ETH closely and looking to add on clean pullbacks while momentum and sentiment stay strong.

It seems that every day I wake up, ETH decreases with another 100 USD.

I hope that the ratio doesn't continue to go down. We have not seen 0.31 since August last year. Just hope we don't revisit <0.3 for a while again: [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=6M](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=6M)

The QIE ecosystem has entered a multichain liquidity expansion phase, and with it comes one of the most attractive opportunities in DeFi today: persistent arbitrage spreads exceeding 10% across chains and DEXs.
With Wrapped QIE (wQIE), wrapped stablecoins, and native QIE trading across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and QIE mainnet, traders and liquidity providers can capitalize on inefficiencies before markets converge.
This is not just volatility — this is structural price fragmentation across chains.
Why Arbitrage Spreads Are So High Right Now
QIE is in the early multichain liquidity phase, meaning:
Liquidity pools are still forming
Market makers have not fully equalized prices
Different trader populations exist per chain
Routing bots are still onboarding
This is historically when double-digit arbitrage profits exist (similar to early AVAX, SOL, and Polygon launches).
Additional Arbitrage Pairs Live on
QIEDex
WETH
Wrapped BNB
QIE native pairs vs wrapped assets
This creates cross-chain triangular arbitrage opportunities:
QIE → wQIE → ETH/BNB → Stablecoin → QIE
What’s Coming Next: Solana & Cosmos Liquidity
The QIE team plans to bridge to:
Raydium (Solana)
Osmosis (Cosmos IBC)
Within \~2 months, unlocking:
Cross-ecosystem arbitrage
Cosmos-native DeFi routing
Solana HFT trader inflows
This will create global multi-chain arbitrage corridors, similar to BTC and ETH multi-venue trading.
Why Wrapped QIE Matters Long-Term
Wrapped QIE is fully collateralized:
Native QIE locked on QIE chain
1:1 wQIE minted on Ethereum/BNB
Burn on unwrap, release native QIE
This does not inflate supply — it locks QIE and reduces circulating liquidity, strengthening scarcity.

I'm really tired and a bit depressed. ETH has been so brutal these last years. I'm slightly giving up mentally. I really want to sell but so afraid of missing out. Maybe that makes me an eternal bagholder. Never ending pain... Everything nowadays feels so rigged and manipulated. Sick sick world. End of rant

Interesting on-chain signal from Santiment: the latest developer activity data shows which [Ethereum ecosystem projects](https://coinmarketcap.com/view/ethereum-ecosystem/) have seen the most coding and repository engagement over the past 30 days.
According to the ranking:
1. MetaMask USD (mUSD)
2. Starknet (STRK)
3. Chainlink (LINK)
4. Radworks (RAD)
5. Safe (SAFE)
6. Ethereum (ETH)
7. Decentraland (MANA)
8. Worldcoin (WLD – on Ethereum)
9. Status (SNT)
10. Cartesi (CTSI)
This list highlights that a lot of work in the ecosystem is happening at the infrastructure and tooling layers, not just narrative tokens. Wallet primitives, scaling tech, security tooling, and core protocol development are all showing serious activity even when markets aren’t moving much.
Full breakdown here if you want to dig deeper:

Curious how people here interpret this — is developer activity a leading signal for long-term growth, or does it tell us more about where teams are allocating effort right now?

I don't get the ADA hate at all... it seems Cardano is the only project with real use cases while keeping the crypto spirit: store of value (finite supply), focus on decentralization (unlike SOL), identity management, supply chain management, focus on integration into corporate structure, and a visionary CEO... seems like a very solid tech startup to me... best pick after BTC and ETH, imo

Have to say I've been having real existential doubts over the last 18 months or so. Not about whether SOL is going to kill ETH or ETH is going to flippen BTC or whatever other inter-coin narrative is the flavor of the month but what if the whole damn space just kind of peters out.

yea but i dont have everything. i have ETH lol. tell the manager that i need price to go up. i want to sell

took like 12 hours but yea it eventually went from 'processing' to 'completed' and landed in my wallet.
But of course the amount of coins they sent me was for the lower ETH value 12 hours later, not what they displayed i would be getting when i initiated the transaction - super nice business model 👍👍👍

Unfortunately, everything is at downside, not only ETH. I think prices will keep swinging wildly until the uncertainty around the macro and geopolitical situation not get resolved.

if it's automated CL management, I've done comparisons and acryptos strategies have been performing the best so far, at least specifically for stablecoins and ETH. You can get around 10% for most of the major stables as well as ETH and liquid-staked ETHs. Yields are real ones tracked over more than a year.

My average is good below $3k. The only real mistake, now I’d say, was not taking profits wen ETH hit its ATH. I guess sometimes the hype of prices going higher just freezes your hands wen you should actually suppose to hit the sell button.
Anyway, no regrets if I see my some other cryptos blunders 🫠

Your DCA can still keep dipping. I wonder what your average would be if you DCA'd into ETH for the last 4/5 years. 
Probably not great.

Litecoin being overshadowed by Bitcoin because it cannot offer much more other than faster transaction and smaller gas fees. Now that LitVM is underway, it can compete with Bitcoin and other blockchains like ETH and SOL. So yeah Litcoin has now even the playing field and now can attract more investors and users.
