He isn't the only one, there were several other posters on here that were arguing with me about this.
This was a reply I made to another poster more or less arguing with me about the same thing pertaining to buying ETH vs. ADA right now.
"Let's say we go into 2027; the market is starting to get into a bullish environment and BTC is trading at 90k+. Let's say ETH at this point is trading at 4k, so a little over a 50% move from here. What do you think would happen with the rest of the alts? In this environment, do you see ADA at best matching ETH's performance by only being at 30 cents?
Very short term price action is impossible to predict and pointless. For instance, in the fall of 2024 ADA was trading around 35 cents while ETH was at a similar price to where we are currently, about $2400. After the 2024 election hype ADA traded as high as $1.30 while ETH peaked at about 4k.
I'll use XLM as an example from that same time period. Right before the election it was trading around 10 cents and then climbed above 50 cents at it's peak, so a 5x.
A weak example would be LTC, it was around $65 and peaked at a little over $100 in this same time period. Another one is Bcash, both of these had very little price movement for years leading up to this, at least relative to the rest of the alts out there.
The whole point is that when we do get bullish phases with alts, ETH leads and many of the alts with smaller market caps will OUTPERFORM it. IF someone were looking to do this, they need to be able to identify the correct time to be buying.
I'm not saying people should do this, the point is that when ETH pops hard relative to BTC the broader alt coin market follows along even stronger. It has nothing to do with fundamentals of the coin lol.
If you aren't aware, virtually all alts, including ETH, are primarily driven by hype and speculation. Picking the horse that runs the fastest is honestly going to come down to luck. What is NOT luck is identifying when these alts are low and where they could be making large gains for profit.
What you are seeing now is NOT a bullish phase in the market, it's a bear market rally. This is not the same as the Q1 2024 ETF pump, the Q4 election pump or the spring 2021 alt season. When this occurs again, and it will, you will see what I'm describing here play out."

ETH ending the month at $4k yall bitches ain't fuckin with me fuck outta here with that lame shit

I don’t mind ETH price predictions. It’s the certainty that gets me.

🌍 Macro
Hotter-than-expected U.S. PPI and Brent crude above $107 have sharply revived rate-hike expectations ahead of next week’s FOMC. The U.S. 10Y yield approached 5%, while the 30Y climbed above 5.35%, putting broad pressure on risk assets. BTC broke below $77K and traded around $76.7K, while crypto-related equities underperformed sharply.

🧠 Market Take
BTC is undergoing a macro-driven deleveraging wave after hotter PPI, surging oil and rising Treasury yields pushed rate-hike expectations higher. Around $500M in crypto positions were liquidated over 24H, mostly longs, while 95 of the top 100 CoinDesk assets declined. BTC ETF flows also turned negative, but ETH and SOL ETFs continued to see net inflows.
The key distinction is that long-term holders have not shown significant selling pressure. Glassnode estimates BTC selling pressure during the recent rebound was less than half the August peak, suggesting the current move is more about leverage cleanup and capital rotation than broad-based long-term distribution.
Key levels:
* Resistance: $77.5K–$78K, then $79K–$80K
* Support: $75K–$76K
* Trend: Short-term bearish / defensive
Tonight’s CPI is the final major macro catalyst before next week’s FOMC. A softer CPI could trigger a relief rebound after the leverage reset, while another hot print could put $75K under pressure.

🔥 Hot Tokens
* BFC: +249% — New BFC/KRW and BFC/USDT trading pairs on Korean exchanges triggered a sharp liquidity inflow, with \~$130M in 24H volume.
* RAY: +17% 24H / +75% weekly — Solana Meme and Launchpad activity continues to drive volume into Raydium liquidity pools.
* ETHFI: +8% — [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) shifted cashback rewards across spending, trading and borrowing to ETHFI, adding direct utility demand.
* STONK: Remains relatively strong as Solana stock-linked Meme activity continues despite broader deleveraging.

* Kalshi received CFTC approval for gold and silver perpetual contracts.
* MoneyGram launched a stablecoin Visa card supporting USDC spending.
* EU regulators warned that prediction markets including Polymarket and Kalshi lack appropriate regulatory authorization.
* Brent crude moved above $107 as U.S.-Iran tensions continued to threaten regional energy and shipping infrastructure.

⚡ Quick Take
**BTC is now below $77K** as hot PPI, $100+ oil and Treasury yields near 5% trigger a broad deleveraging wave. The $75K–$76K zone is the key defense, while tonight’s CPI could determine whether the selloff extends or produces a relief rebound.

Always go for BTC and ETH.

Bitcoin ETH and Zcash are the safest and most stvale plays. Everyone was calling me crazy when I was screaming to buy zcash around $12….now its over a thousand and I believe it will be $50k eventually. In 2016 zcash was worth more than Bitcoin. Zcash is what Bitcoin was supposed to be its faster and has true privacy. Screenshot this post and come back in 2-5 years and say thank you.

The Big Three BTC SOL ETH - also HYPE

Nobody's asked the actual question: is that $100 a week money you can afford not to see for a few years? Coming out of the mines with irregular income that matters way more than which coin. A first timer who buys BTC with money they need in eight months still sells at the worst moment, and then the coin choice was irrelevant. If it's genuinely spare, weekly buys into BTC and ETH is the boring right answer and you can ignore most of this thread.

"Keep it basic" means putting it into VTI, not a shitcoin like BTC or ETH.

BTC AND ETH. nothing else

In this cycle now, ETH & LINK

BTC and ETH are the two to stick with. I would advise against 2 years, you’d likely want longer to get the real upside BUT if your aim is for a trade then you’ve timed it well and you ‘should’ do well on a 2 year horizon as you’re catching the tail end of the bear market. I say should as nobody can predict the future.
Re BTC mining - unless you’re hobby mining or have access to cheap electricity it’s probably not worth it.

**Jokes aside, when you look at how ETH is struggling to hold support, it’s hard not to feel the capitulation. The fatigue in this altcoin market is very real this time."**

I’d get some BTC or if you want to get active in DeFi get some ETH

For a 5 to 7 year hold I’d keep it pretty boring personally and lean much more toward BTC or ETH than trying to find some tiny coin that might 50x. The shorter-term stuff is a completely different question. I’ve had a few small Moon experiments running lately just to test different market scenarios but I wouldn’t mix that mindset with a long term portfolio. For something you want to forget about for years, simplicity probably wins.

$ORBS because they have a stake invested in Open Ai pre IPO ….. and, ETH hold, and… $122M in cash

I've mentioned this before and some have been annoyed by it. Is Ethereum's 2029 QDay date too late? I thought a target of 2027 would allow Ethereum to get ahead of the competition and score a marketing win. ETH is "Quantum Ready" Digital Gold.
Now Ripple's date has been forwarded to 2028.

Lots of stuff. I can't consolidate years of research into a Reddit comment, but I'll start with a couple things:
Liquid non-custodial staking. On Ethereum, for example, if you don't have 32 ETH to run your own validator and you want to earn a passive yield, you have to send your ETH to a third party like Lido. You then get rewards in a separate token which you have to convert if you want to exit your position. In addition, the tokens are locked up in the smart contract - you can't move your ETH around freely.
With Cardano, your ADA never leaves your wallet. You receive rewards in ADA, not a rewards or wrapped token. You don't have to trust that Lido or whoever is handling your tokens correctly. There is no slashing.
The eUTXO model. There is no variable gas fee. You know exactly what the fee will be before you submit the transaction. You know that the transaction will succeed. You don't need a smart contract to launch a token.
Cardano is big on trustless systems. You don't need to trust all these third parties to do things because the blockchain handles it natively.
Midnight is going to be even better. Selective disclosure (the bouncer at the bar doesn't need to see your whole ID with your address, birthday, and weight on it, he just needs to know you're of legal drinking age) - privacy where you want it. Holding NIGHT generates DUST which is used to pay for transaction fees. In other words, transactions are free unless you're exceeding your DUST generation.
There's a lot of really cool tech in Cardano that doesn't matter to people who are only looking for a quick buck.
