ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Tether effectively collapsed in October 2018, which, if left to play out in the markets, may have ended up resolving the debate for the better currency.
Instead, management of stablecoins printing was consolidated in Chicago and BTC/ETH (Epsti*n/Thi*l) futures were tied off to US domestic energy futures. People legitimately printed tens of billions of dollar tokens against genuine US treasury notes and then used cucked PoW projects to cash out their otherwise upside down LNG leases.
They then bought into dev teams on Bitcoin Cash to direct BCH defi into a bunch of swaps where they could liquidate anyone left through leverage trading. RIP Rodger, RIP anyone bullish on BCH.

ETH is scarce digital gold. Bitcoin but with a sustainable security model.
Hopefully we’ll get a sustainable issuance model in the next couple years and ETH will again be deflationary

ETH getting the first wave makes sense if capital flows into on-chain apps. Smart workflows could help coordinate the activity across protocols and services as that ecosystem grows. The bigger opportunity may be the infrastructure around it.

I liked the low as possible inflation narrative, but scarcity for scarcities sake doesn't make value. vintage baseball cards are valuable because it's relatively scarce and in demand. Signed copies of doodles I make in the office are even more scarce and no one would pay me a penny for them.
The big value add for ETH the asset was always onboarding and pumping the demand side as much as possible.

The SEC and CFTC put out joint guidance back in March classifying a batch of assets, and Grayscale already runs ETPs on things like Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and Chainlink without CLARITY even being law yet. So a chunk of the "money flows to large cap alts on regulatory clarity" thesis might already be priced in through administrative action rather than waiting on Congress.
The part of the bill that actually looks undercooked right now is the DeFi framework, since that's been the murkiest area for institutions wanting exposure without SEC enforcement risk hanging over every protocol interaction. If that section survives the final text, DeFi governance tokens and the infra plays around compliant on-chain access (custody, KYC rails, oracles) feel like the bigger surprise winners compared to BTC or ETH, which already have their institutional pathway sorted through ETFs.
Also worth flagging the bill still hasn't cleared the Senate floor, there's a procedural vote scheduled for the 15th when they're back from recess, so this is still an if, not a when.

I slowly trade ETH over larger price swings and I miss the days of the DONUT.
Reddit Community Points was an exciting project, and I'm glad I was a part of it.

I need ETH. have Bnb

5 ETH in +/-0,5% range 50$ per day in regular days, 30$ in weekends

I always wanted ultrasound money to be the reason ETH would appreciate in price. It was easy for me to understand that the burn could make ETH deflationary and therefore more scarce. Now that fees are super cheap and it could be a long time before ETH becomes deflationary, or never, I’m thinking that the new narrative for ETH price has to be how much ETH secures on chain. There will eventually be a ratio everyone agrees on that if ETH secures X amount of money then its price should be Y. The question is, is it a 1:1 ratio, 1/5, 1/10? How much do we need to secure to get ETH to 10k and beyond?

Given the goal of building wealth while keeping money available for school, I’d look at a few options:
\* Roth IRA: Continue maxing it, with a broad ETF such as VOO/VTI as the core.
\* Growth stocks: MSFT, GOOGL, NVDA, and AMZN are worth researching for long-term AI/technology exposure.
\* Anthropic: Pre-IPO/private-market sales is ongoing, Anthropic is an interesting AI opportunity to research. Major investors have included Amazon and Google, alongside major institutional investors.
\* Crypto through RobinHood chain: You could allocate a smaller portion to BTC/ETH and selected altcoins. Strong token momentum can produce substantial percentage gains, and some speculative trades can potentially reach 200–300%+, but those are targets rather than guaranteed profits.
Feel free to send me a DM I’ll send you tutorial and strategies to follow.
Given your situation, I’d keep the $81k school fund separate and use only money beyond that for higher-growth investments.

Yes and everything will be paired with ETH

Yeah, kinda, that was the time I guess. ETH and DONUTs both were hyped and pumping.

Kinda disillusoined I assume. Been in ETH since 2016. I went all-inn on ETH in the bear of 22, sold at 3.3 this winter after a lame 2x. If I had bought BTC instead at the same time it would have been easily 5x.
The tech is always improving, but the price doesn't follow. It appears more traffic and hype moves towards Solana and Hyperliquid, and ETH (both network and price) lags behind.
Still firmly a believer in Ethereum, but it doesn't appear that the price of ETH follows the advancement of the chain.

Most of the ETH subreddits have slowly quietened due to hype fading, and people not getting rich quickly. When the market starts to pick up or do something it will get busier.

Just came back to this sub after a long time and damn… it feels so different now.
Where are all the OGs from 2020–2021? The days when everyone was hyping ETH, talking about DONUTs, waiting for distribution day, dropping random memes, and just having fun here.
Those times were honestly crazy. The sub felt like a small community where everyone knew each other. I still remember the excitement when ETH was pumping and the whole place was full of energy.
Kinda miss those days ngl.
Anyone from the old crew still here? What’s been happening in EthTrader lately?

i've been trying to use ETF flow data as a signal and honestly i'm about to give up lol.
week ending august 14: $390M net outflow from BTC ETFs. so i'm thinking ok institutions are pulling back, maybe reduce exposure. then the very next week: $1.9B net inflow, biggest of 2026. BlackRock IBIT alone did $1.33B. ETH ETFs added another $697M on top of that.
that's a $2.3B swing in sentiment in five trading days. five days! how is anyone supposed to position around that?
honestly i've just stopped trying to front-run the flows. sitting on my spot bags on bydfi and watching from the sidelines. every time i try to trade around ETF data i end up on the wrong side of the reversal.
for those of you who do track ETF flows — are you actually trading off them or just using them as confirmation after the move already happened?

I trade Forex, so I use ETH since there’s no defined “open” there

Run away from memecoins and put your money on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB and HYPE. Always remember to DCA. Please this is not a financial advise do your due diligence. DYOR

Is this and issuance discussion actually VBs concave/convex article? Fees and issuance do matter "to some degree", they make ETH a better SoV. Remember the \~50x multiplier on volume to MC. Absolutely they're not everything, but they help "to some extent", even if a little. I would rather adopt a SoV if it's inflation was lower. ETH is a mixture of things, make it better in every way even if that way isn't the most important.
