Getting out of Bitcoin isn't a crazy idea if you want less volatility but I don't know why ETH is something you'd want to gamble on

ETH tuition fees 😅 Crypto teaches fast...

Gold had a 40+ year bear market. I’m not willing to wait decades for ETH to maybe become a real store of value. I’ve got diamond hands, but at some point you have to evaluate opportunity cost. In fiat terms we’re getting crushed - property taxes, food, insurance, energy, goods, even electronics are all up. ETH has to beat that, not just exist alongside it.
Let’s be honest: this has proven to be a high-risk asset. In 2022 ETH initially held up better than Bitcoin, then it completely unraveled. Since then we’ve had what feels like six local tops in two years. In trad markets, three or more failed tops is usually a massive red flag.
I’m still here, still staking, still believing in the tech. But price matters. If ETH is going to be a store of value, it has to start acting like one. Otherwise “diamond hands” just turns into paying everyone else’s inflation tax.

I think it’s time to discuss the ETH/LRC connection

I thought
> the end of the article.
was straight-forward. But ok, maybe I am the one missing something here. BR sees value in ETH. Why then wouldn't they buy a company that stakes ETH for them and may be additionally undervalued versus ETHUSD?

I stake and have made over 2 ETH through staking. I'm under right now, but most of the year I wasn't, and I'm also prepared to hold through cycle lows and cycle highs.
I believe in the programmable money aspect of Ethereum, and I think it's something retail is overlooking while institutions are investing. I'm guessing that this year people are going to sell their altcoins and all-in Bitcoin after being burned last cycle, except this cycle the elites rotate into Ethereum. This is my hopium at least.

Thank you! I can’t stand how that headline is like a math question with separate units for BTC and ETH. 4:1 sounds like a good exposure without scaling out too many bitcorns.

Put about everything at 2080 on ETH. Monthly candle stick chart says near the bottom good enough for me.
Upper region monthly candle stick~3800 looks good. Will see when it gets close. Estimated profit 80%. I'm satisfied with that.

I can’t wait until 2040 when ETH is at $1,800 and people are saying $5k end of month!

If you haven’t heard the honking yet, you’re missing the loudest alpha in the 2026 meme cycle. **Patos Meme Coin ($PATOS)** isn’t just another animal token on Solana; it is a clinical masterclass in how to launch a crypto asset. While other projects are begging for a single DEX listing, Patos has already secured **8 confirmed CEX listings** before the presale even concludes.
But the exchange count is only the tip of the iceberg. Here is why the smart money is "aping in" today.
# 🚀 Why Patos is the Alpha Presale
* **Catchy Brand & Exploding Value:** "Patos" (Spanish for Ducks) is more than a name; it’s a movement. The branding is infectious, and the value is backed by a roadmap that actually delivers.
* **The Power of 'The Flock':** The community is real. On Reddit and Twitter (X), you see a dedicated core, but for every one person posting, there are 50 silent "Flock" members liking, sharing, and holding. The engagement-to-holder ratio is massive.
* **Marketing Dominance:** You can’t scroll through crypto social media without seeing the yellow duck. Their marketing isn't just loud; it's everywhere, outperforming brands that have been around for years.
* **Viral Content Mastery:** Most memes are recycled. Patos is producing original, high-quality video and photo content that is designed for virality, not just "shilling."
* **Industry Deep-Roots:** After 55 days of presale, Patos is listed on more tracking and news sites than almost any other emerging brand. Their reach is unmatched.

# 🛠️ The "Developer Flex" is Coming
The team just teased something big. This week, Patos is set to release a "simple" product—not because they have to, but to **flex their developer skills** to investors.
Keep your eyes peeled. If this release creates the expected utility pump, it will likely push the project into **Round 2** immediately.
# ⚠️ The Cost of Waiting: Don't Lose the 200x
We are currently in Round 1. When we hit Round 2, the token price increases by **7.2%**.
* That means for every $100 you invest, you lose **$7.20** worth of coins by waiting.
* In a "Moon Shot" scenario where $PATOS hits a **200x ROI**, that $7.20 loss turns into a **$1,440 potential loss** in gains.
**Why pay more for fewer tokens later?**
# 🏦 Confirmed CEX Listings
Patos is leading the numbers game. No other presale on Solana, Ethereum, BNB, Sui, or Tron has this level of institutional confirmation. The following 8 exchanges are already locked in:
1. **Biconomy**
2. **AzBit**
3. **BiFinance**
4. **Dex-Trade**
5. **BitStorage**
6. **Cetoex**
7. **BitsPay**
8. **Trapix**
# 🏁 Bottom Line
This is a numbers game. Patos leads in news coverage, CEX confirmations, subreddit growth, and original content production. **Why would you invest in a project doing less?**
To the **Patos Flock**, let's fly high! You know the drill—hit the comments and show the world that the Brood is here in full force! 🦆

Yes, and those funds are not being used to buy BTC and ETH.
The endowment is buying BTC and ETH.

Well they say you need to do your own research ;) But I give you my opinion. BCH scales, BCH has all the requirements for money, like smart contracts, privacy. It has a recognizable name. The BTC/LN experiment failed, it doesn't scale. Dodge is not a serious contender and inflates like crazy. Which means the two PoW coins above it are already being down for the count. BCH has actual real world adoption, small. like every other coin, but it is always in the big 4: BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC.

So why can’t Harvard put the $87 million they just gambled on ETH into the research and then instead of getting $500 million from US taxpayers, they can settle for $413 million?

ETH performed pretty poorly the last bull run no?

ETH supercycle incoming

Yeah but for example if I buy a bitcoin on an exchange, it's not in my personal wallet, so the exchange can (and does) use that same bitcoin to lend to leverage traders. In this sense it can be called "paper" because there is essentially an IOU there.
This happens at a massive level with ETFs and other financial products, with derivatives and futures / perps trading and the like. Basically, all of the shenanigans you see in traditional financial markets (e.g., silver) have taken over BTC and ETH, even if the blockchain itself is locked to a fixed supply.
There's a reason why all those DATs were making huge purchases in 2025 and the price hardly moved much.

Very, very interesting. A decentralized exchange for the trading of assets with everything on a public ledger? Sounds exactly like what might solve a pervasive issue in the markets around naked short selling, if such a thing were to be happening 👀
And both RK and his brother have now posted clips that use the ETH and LRC logos…that’s an unmistakable hint as far as I’m concerned

No one knew the first time around in 2014, say what you will but by this time in 2026 it's clear that crypto is cyclical and that above all, long-term holders win if you time your exit during the cycle peak.
It's not over, it's merely a cycle low. I think regardless in that wall street cheat sheet we're in Depression now. A few more will be rinshed out selling the beginning of the bull when ETH breaks out again, thinking that it's another dead-cat.

Bulls will win in the end, and the pumps we get from institutional leverage from ETFs and establishment in wall street during the next cycle will drive the major L1s parabolic, and there's nothing you can do about it.
