ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Only Bitcoin. Everything else is is just gambling and trash. Even ETH or Sol wont outperform Bitcoin long term.

Instant promissionless settlement. If you own assets you know why it's important. Try to move 500k from brokage to brokage for arbitrage. Try to balance large offshore accounts. Try to buy a realstate for cash. Try to live in a third world country and own some equity in Europe/USA.
All these things take days if not weeks, require large 3rd party fees and usually is extremely complicated due to various regulations, sometimes impossible.
I am from Europe, I can't own QQQ or JEPI, I don't have access to a lot of various instruments and ETFs. With perpetual futures on let's say ETH I actually can.

Not financial advice, but let me share my data. I built a 30-factor scoring system (on-chain activity, tokenomics, liquidity, whale flows, etc.) that grades 1,000 coins — here's how your list reads on it right now:
Your current holds all score in the top tier: BTC 76, ETH 78, SOL 81, LINK 77. Solid and defensible — which is a compliment.
On your two candidates: ZCash grades 78 — same tier as your majors — and it's been one of the strongest upward movers in my data for weeks (score climbed from \~61 while the price ran; privacy sector's been quietly leading). Hyperliquid grades 68 — good, not elite; strong on liquidity and usage, weaker on tokenomics-type factors.

If you’re completely new, I’d keep the setup simple:
\* Brokerage: Wealthsimple or Questrade are worth comparing for a beginner; both give you access to Canadian stocks and ETFs.
\* Account: If you’re now a Canadian tax resident, look at a TFSA first, provided you actually have contribution room. As a new resident, TFSA room generally starts accumulating only from the year you become a Canadian resident—not from 2009.
\* Starting investments: A broad ETF such as XEQT, VEQT, or VFV can provide a simple foundation. You can later add individual stocks such as MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, or AMZN if you want more growth exposure.
\* Crypto: If you want a separate speculative allocation, BTC/ETH and selected altcoins can be considered through a regulated Canadian platform.
If you tell me approximately how much you want to invest initially (e.g., $500, $5,000, $20,000), I can suggest a percentage split between ETFs, individual stocks, and crypto.
Feel free to send a direct message I’ll send you full details and guidelines as I’m a financial advisor.

I used to think crypto was an investable asset (bought $2k of ETH @ $40). For the past 6 years I've moved to trading. Other then BTC or ETH, I don't think that any crypto is worth a long term investment.
Step back and take a 10,000 foot view. If there was a legit use case for it, would it not already be in place by now? Aside from "some obscure bank is doing a test run"?
Crypto's been around long enough to go through a few bull/bear cycles. It still isn't being used as an everyday asset or tool outside of the crypto industry. It's like financial navel gazing.
That's why I've switched to leveraged trading. As long as it's volatile I can make money long or short. I don't care about any narrative or the technology. Other than BTC or ETH, I don't have any idea what any of the crypto that I trade in does.

Mostly hold BTC long term, then small bags of ETH and SOL. Then 5% on coins like HYPER, SUI, TAO, etc. that i hold for 1 cycle at the time.

Looks like strong resistance here for ETH. Not sure this price will hold

If Trump falls, will cryptocurrency and the tokens I hold face a crisis? #USDC#BTC#ETH

70% BTC, 15% ETH, 5% Hype, 5% zcash, 5% the new meta for the cycle (hint: it doesn’t exist yet).

I'm BTC only now.
However, I do not regret my history of experimenting with various other crypto in the past (e.g. XMR, IOTA, XLM, ETH, ETC, ADA, AVAX, CRO, ATOM, GODS, UNV, etc.); I learned a lot, had fun, and even made some profits to go with my losses. My BTC-maximalism is to some extent a result of my open-mindedness and willingness to experiment, and seeing how things worked out over time.

BTC or ETH only.

ETH network is being used for RWT which (also) strictly benefits financial use cases. Only other use is, as you said, global money transfer prior to inevitably convert to fiat for real world spending

Getting ETH exposure to millions of more people and having a majority of markets paired with ETH greatly overweighs any difference them holding their ETH fees would make.

BTC maybe a little ETH if feeling adventurous

Hey! I would separate the asset from what you do with it. Holding ETH, putting ETH into an LP, and looping ETH as collateral may start with the same coin, but they create completely different workloads and failure points.
CoinRabbit is a straightforward example of that distinction: someone can simply hold BTC, or use the same BTC as collateral for liquidity. The second choice adds LTV and loan terms to manage even though the underlying asset has not changed.
So yes, taxes and tracking matter, but I would also count how many contracts, bridges, reward tokens, and liquidation conditions each strategy adds.

BTC ETH and Zcash

Well, it happened a few years ago. Lost 6 figures when $LUNA crashed.
The exchanges all halted trading. All I could do was watch it get flushed like the turd it really was, spinning in circles as it went down the drain.
If I have any crypto bags it's only BTC or ETH. I don't fuck around with anything else anymore.

People also underestimate how cyclical this market is.
If BTC makes a new ATH, ETH starts running, gas stays cheap, and liquidity comes back into crypto, NFT activity can turn around very quickly.
That doesn’t mean 2021-style JPEG mania comes back exactly the same way. But saying NFTs are permanently dead feels premature when so much of their activity has always followed broader crypto liquidity and speculation.
The next cycle may just look different.

[SERIOUS 2] Results of reproducing the MK3 weak-RNG search: 1157 weak wallet roots reconstructed and evidence the hack extended to ETH.

5x sounds tame until ETH has one ugly week lol. Moon caps the loss at your wager but holding time still matters there too because longer bets pick up holding fees
