BTC/ETH only, unless you want to lose money

Fusaka may be quiet, but it’s bullish long-term. ETH holding above $3K and outperforming BTC says a lot. With L2s scaling and institutions eyeing smart contracts, I’m leaning ETH accumulation over BTC-only.

This issue also contains a wild story about a defi exploit:
Apparently a hacker made an attempt to manipulate the oracle for the DUSD/USDC pool of defi protocol Makina, but was frontrun by an MEV bot that snatched the 1299 ETH prize, passing 276 ETH as MEV reward to a lucky rocketpool validator.
The MEV builder returned 90% of the ETH to the protocol, keeping 10% as a whitehat bounty, but they are still trying to contact the rocketpool validator for their share of the loot:

A friend told me to buy it. Says he knew the creator who’s a very successful real estate investor with a portfolio of around 400 million. I bought 3k worth two days ago and now it’s worth 40k. Trying to figure out what to do now. Friend told me the creator has plans to hold forever. I don’t know much about crypto and am looking for advice on what to do next.
Guess I have three real options
Option A) Hold until this thing reaches an amount that moves the needle for me. Something close to one million
Option B) Cash out a little every day as to not crazy the coin and cause any harm to the community that is supporting it
Option C) Cash it all out and move it into something I believe in like BTC, ETH or AMP
Which option do you guys think I should exercise?
Thx in advance for any feedback.

Nice to see more ETH being staked. Higher stake % usually means more skin in the game and less selling pressure

borrowing against staked ETH is kinda genius ngl. keeps your upside exposure while getting liquidity. interest rates gonna be brutal tho i bet

Your graph ignores the last deposits that are still in the queue which will draw a big spike in the graph in the next couple of months if the exit queue doesn't fill. 3 million ETH there is something quite extraordinary from any point of view.

I am getting old, everything hurts.
Please ETH, we aren't getting any younger...
We need some gains before we are fucked by old age.

Hi!
I am in the same boat, I try to make a crypto bot. My initial tests is very promising (let's say over 1000% / year), but I hesitate. What would you do? Do you know an investment firm to fund my bot? What can I do to scale it?
I do micro trading, and on the BTC // ETH tokens. My RR is 3 to 7. Thanks!

just wake me up when ETH can hold 3k.

I got this popup that revolut need verify something regarding my crypto account, previous pages contained informations about income, assets, etc and this is the last page of the forms. Can someone please explain this to me like I'm 5 years old? I really don't get it.
The first sentence makes no sense to me at all.
The second sentence, does this mean that when I'm staking ETH on Revolut X, I'm giving away my rights to stake rewards?

pretty new to crypto and just kicked off a small sip in ethereum. ETH is trading around **2.68L** right now and not near its all-time highs anymore. it’s weird, feels like you’re buying when everyone’s either panicking or unsure. not looking for sky-high gains, just accumulating slowly and seeing what happens. for people doing eth sips: how do you handle the dips? hold and add, or average down aggressively?

Good if you want to borrow against your ETH. Irrelevant if you don't.

Usage growing quietly while costs drop is a strong long-term signal for ETH.

What happened to you with Changelly is pretty common once XMR and larger amounts are involved — you’re definitely not alone.
For something like 110 XMR, I’d personally avoid custodial “instant swap” services if your main goal is to avoid funds getting stuck again.
Safer (but less convenient) options:
• CEXs with XMR pairs (Kraken, Binance if available in your region): more steps, but real support and less risk of indefinite limbo.
• Two-step approach: XMR → BTC on a solid exchange, then BTC → ETH. This often reduces compliance friction.
• Splitting the swap into smaller chunks if you do use smaller services.
In general, the more “instant and no-KYC” a service claims to be with XMR, the higher the risk of delays if anything trips their filters.
For that size, I’d rather accept slower but predictable execution than fast and opaque swaps.

Now take that gold and put it into a real asset like BTC or ETH

Alternatives to Changelly for ETH Exchange?

Because there are more than enough big ETH holders that are happy to sell. The fact that BMNR can easily find so much ETH to buy OTC means that there are enough OGs that are selling at 2.9k.
Also, I think the staking cue and "institutions buying" part is overstated. The staking cue is mainly full because of BMNR rushing in with billions. They were not going to sell anyway, so it's not like there is less selling pressure now.
Also, I haven't seen that many institutions are coming in and buying. Yes, BMNR and ETH ETFs have big financial institutions that own a piece, but if you look closely it's very often the Asset Management arms of financial institutions, which buy on behalf of clients (which could very well just be retail clients that want to buy BMNR or ETFs through their 401k/retirement system as they can't buy ETH directly). The sudden change from inflow to outflow on a daily basis also tells me that this is rather retail buying and selling, given that institutions often buy for longer periods of time. Outside of a small handful, I haven't seen institutions coming in and buying ETH.
This leads me to believe that there are not really any new buyers (imo it's still retail buying but through different ways), which explains why the price hasn't gone up.

Quiet upgrades are usually the most important ones. If ETH keeps stacking efficiency gains while L2s mature, the BTC + ETH institutional thesis makes a lot of sense. Personally, I like holding both BTC as the macro hedge, ETH as the infra bet.
