ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
cryptoComposite

I bought bitcoin in 2012. And I bought ETH when it was just a few dollars. But I'm still broke af today. I didn't hold. I kept panic selling at different points in time.

The part of defi that is only there because of useless issuance is itself useless, and thinking that this useless part of defi adds value to Ethereum is misguided imo. Staking yield should not be seen as the "risk free rate", but i agree some probably see it like that which is itself a problem. The most important thing is ensuring that Ethereum remains secure forever, and that we don't onboard a ton of centralized third parties just because of a broken issuance model. We should not punish people for holding vanilla ETH as that is in fact the best version of ETH! We should not push people into giving their ETH to these staking companies!

ETH inflation is much too high. Recommending a trusted staked ETH is just not nice. We need to fix the rampant issuance of ETH, fixing issuance could single handedly return Ethereum to being ultrasound and actually accruing the benefits of the energy efficient PoS directly to the price of ETH.

Why does ZEC get a free pass on its inflation and not have to earn its place by the same metric as ETH? Does Solana actually return more real yield after accounting for inflation? It seems like ETH is uniquely judged by more adult standards than anything else in the industry.

Snapshot from Bybit perps this morning (\~07:50 UTC). Long % is by account (L/S ratio): \- MNT: 83% long \- HBAR: 80% long \- XRP: 79% long (L/S 3.81), funding +0.0021% \- JTO: 74% long \- ETH: 71% long (L/S 2.50), funding +0.0004% \- BTC: 63% long (L/S 1.70), funding -0.0011% What stands out to me: BTC bounced from \~80.4k to \~82.7k, but BTC funding is still slightly negative. So the crowd is long by headcount, but the money isn't paying up to hold it. On alts, positioning is much more one-sided than on BTC. Historically, when retail is this lopsided on alts while BTC funding stays flat, I've seen it resolve with a flush before continuation more often than not, but that's my experience, not a rule. Is anyone else seeing the same skew on other exchanges? Do you treat high long % as a contrarian signal or ignore it?

The guy earns staking rewards on that ETH..

don't shoot the messenger: ETH is not part of the crypto allocation proposed by Citrini Research, and this is probably what most investor think when they dig into ETH: (their thesis is confirmed by the full retrace of the ratio pump, narrative needs to change for us.) "- ETH fees continue to drop (real yield was at its lowest ever in Q3) \- Inflation is rising as a result (more issuance relative to user fees compensating validators) \---- This is happening despite the success of the L2 roadmap (in terms of adoption, not value accrual to ETH) So, the natural questions for an investor: \- If BTC is viewed as digital gold, occupying the mindshare of investors looking for a digital SOV, what is ETH? \- If ZEC is increasingly viewed as high beta to BTC (more upside) as an alternative private SOV, what is ETH? \- If apps built on top of ETH have strong product-market fit and are returning value to token holders via buybacks (yet trade at a fraction of the L1), what is ETH? \- If Solana has higher velocity and real yield to tokenholders, what is ETH? \---- The reality is that ETH needs a narrative. It's stuck in no mans land right now, in my opinion (cannot compete with BTC on SOV, and other projects return more value to tokens, with far greater upside) I thought one potential catalyst might be institutions building on Ethereum and acquiring ETH for their balance sheet. But just this week Robinhood decided to buy BTC instead. \---- We can argue about whether fees matter or not. I agree with the framing of Ethereum as an economy. But if the narrative for investors is that "it creates lots of value for others but receives very little value in return" and "it has lots of TVL and stablecoins" Well. Then there might be an opportunity cost to holding it this cycle compared with other assets in the market."

Are We Underestimating How Much ETH Is Changing?

Apart from Bitcoin, ETH and one or 2 others crypto has definitely lost its steam compared to the COVID frenzy. I don’t see any real use case and even if it does get adopted doesn’t mean the price will go parabolic. Plenty of useless items in this world that hold value and Bitcoin in my opinion is one of them

I just stopped trying to predict the "future" of the market and started focusing on the current regime instead. That’s also why I made the current BTC/ETH/BNB regime from my own rule-based system public. It gives me something objective to react to instead of guessing.

Unfortunately, I had most of my money in ETH since 2023, which barely went anywhere for years. The recent drop was the final straw for me

It’s the classic gas trap where the fee isn’t just ETH, it’s gotta be in the right flavor. WETH is wrapped and the network won’t touch it to push a batch transfer through, so your wallet sees a balance but the chain just shrugs. You need a little raw ETH sitting there to cover the actual computation, and five Mooniez at once can spike the estimate higher than you’d think. Check the gas tracker before you try again, late night or early morning usually drops it enough to squeeze by. I’ve sat there refreshing for twenty minutes just to save a few bucks on a move that should’ve been instant. Annoying as hell but it’s the toll booth you can’t sweet-talk.

Simply want to transfer nfts but how much do you need in order to do so??? $30 ETH n WETH, not sure what the issue could be but its annoying to say the least.

I like Litecoin and it would probably be one of the cryptos I would invest in after ETH, XMR and BTC. But I'm currently not buying into any projects, just more safer and easier money to be made in stocks. So saying this, it wouldn't suprirse me in the slightest if LTC suddenly melted faces with a pump. It's extremely overlooked while being one of the most stable, oldest coins that actually achieves what it set out to do. It has all the hallmarks of something that could 20x. Still not buying into crypto though, not in this economy.

Btc is slow, public, expensive, nobody works on it, it can't scale and has a mystery dev hoarding 5% of the float. The moat for btc is wall st, who's chasing the next thing already. Tom with ETH, Winks with ZEC, Lee with LTC DATS and grayscale converting the ALT trusts to ETF. If it's alt season then ltc is in the right spot imho.

I made no predictions, but you obviously know absolutely nothing about crypto if you think SOL can't 5x from here. I didnt say it will, I said it CAN. And it CAN go much higher than that. The likelihood of better than not that the new ATH this cycle will quite easily eclipse $500 this cycle. Its not nostradamus, it's just math. Most quality crypto projects such as solana show yes diminishing returns each cycle that it matures, but eth went from 60x to 6x. Sol 260x 36x so by that math Sol could easily do 6-9x which would put us in that $500 price range pretty easy. I get being frustrated by moonboy math, I get irritated with idiots saying XRP to $10k. The amount of money it would take that high of a supply to 10k is quadrillions. Solana to $500 is not a stretch, it takes roughly $200-250B marketcap that ETH in the bear market lol. And i dont know if you have used both blockchains or not, but Solana is superior to ETH in nearly every metric except decentralization which is getting better and better every day.

TLDR: PwC Germany cut EOS Group's securitization settlement from 30 days to 1 day on Stellar. Ultra Token launched bridged BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP, Blend V2.1 restored its backstop, and Zenex went live as Stellar's first on-chain perps exchange.

Been like this since I failed to secure my 5k or 10k ETH bag in 2015. My fault entirely. I had my chance and blew it basically. Today I'd be rich. Life sucks and I have a myriad of health problems and I'm sure that things would be very different today both finances and health wise had I done that. Life sucks and then we die. Move on. Accept it. You can't turn back the clock and you can't change the past.

I think so, fees and control. But we will see, I hope ETH will thrive and wish the best luck to all investors, of course 😉

ETH does what BTC does but more violently (goes up harder and goes down harder). However, ETH is also stuck between 1k and 5k while BTC overall goes up. To me ETH is just a buy low sell high kind of investment.

Start by asking whether ETH is weakening on its own or whether BTC and the broader market are shifting regime too. That distinction is exactly why I built my own rule-based tracker around market regimes rather than looking at ETH in isolation.

Huh? The entire tech market receded. ETH always dumps hardest.Another case of narrative following price.
