ETH sucks

Exceptionally poorly. Investing in ETH is either the best or worst financial decision of my life. Maybe worst.

If you’re starting with 100 CAD, a safe approach is to diversify a bit rather than going all-in on one coin. You could consider RYO for its practical use and strong infrastructure, plus established coins like ETH or SOL for stability and adoption. That way you get a mix of long-term potential and real-world utility.

Was Q4/2025 actually “alt season”? ETH was ATH for a moment.

That’s useful context, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard similar things about acryptos, especially for longer-running stablecoin and ETH strategies where consistency matters more than fine-tuning.
Most of what I’ve been looking at recently is slightly different, focusing more on actively traded pairs like USDC/WETH or WETH/VELO rather than pure stable or LST setups, where range behavior and timing seem to play a bigger role. It’s been interesting seeing how performance changes once you move away from those more straightforward strategies.
Out of curiosity, have you mostly stuck with stablecoins and ETH/LSTs on acryptos, or have you tried any more directional pairs as well?

BTC, ETH, if Binance than BNB if Kraken get BGB.

I once sent ETH to an ETC address. Luckily the Exodus support team managed to retrieve it and it was returned to me. Back just after the fork.
A.bit easier scenario, though. And it wasn't really worth much (at the time).

We’re working on FOSS infra for here https://github.com/asyncswap/eth-libs. Willl we be able to qualify for funding. Currently building type safe all ETH rpc endpoints, down the line could be used for wallets etc.

Yeah, ETH and XRP barely made a new ATH and BTC could not even 2x its previous ATH.
If this trend continues next bull cycle will be even worse.
Crypto is slowly dying

Can someone explain me something about leveraged staking?
I've tried leveraged staking few months ago for the first time. I'm trying to learn about it just because I'm curious about how DeFi products work.
So I've tried to put some ETH on a Morpho wstETH position, via [ETH Saver](https://ethsaver.com). What I understand is it works like that:
1. I send my ETH to the contract (on ETH Saver)
2. The ETH is swapped for wstETH.
3. The wstETH is then put as collateral to borrow some ETH. On other words, I "borrow ETH against my wstETH"
4. Then the ETH is staked again. And the loop continues, depending on the leverage I use.
1/ Is my understanding correct? If not, can you describe the actual flow?
2/ I just saw that my position has now a negative APY. How is that possible? I know there is a risk of being liquidated if the ETH/wstETH pair is depegged, but that's not what's happening right now.
Thanks for your helping me understand!
Please be nice, I know I shouldn't play with DeFi and leverage if I don't understand it. But I want to learn and was OK to lose this amount of money. I've read a lot about it but I need to practice to understand.
Thanks again!

Validator count isn't a huge problem either. Not with DPOS. This design allows chains like Solana to stay secure even at SUI numbers (target should remain above SUI).
Real separate entities running major L1s aren't going to look all that different. Count went down after incentives ended. Count will rise again after Alpenglow reduces cost to operate.
Minimum number of entities required to attack Solana still on high end of spectrum for L1s. Does this without issues such as an Entity like Lido holding a quarter of all staked ETH.

Bouncing around same levels as previous manias at peak despair is progress. We are at prices once seemed impossible 5-6 years ago. In the end it’s about real use cases and adoption, and those metrics are looking strong rn. Price usually lags, so hopefully after this end of cycle shakeout ends we are positioned for more progress. ETH is still largely misunderstood by retail and that can only improve as geopolitical realities force people to take a closer look.

There was a bull market, and there was an alt season. You said it yourself: Nov 2024. That's when it started, and it ended with the October crash.
BTC reached several new all time highs. ETH got near its old all time high. Countless alt coins that were struggling were making comebacks or broke new records.
The difference compared to most alt seasons is how everything happened at the same time instead of in phases.

Unfortunately, ETH faced significant headwinds before the cycle began. I even talked about them here in 2023, before the full run happened. But things should get better over time. Never mind the shaky narratives like ultrasound money.
It had other headwinds, like everyone expecting the "BTC-> ETH ->alts->NFT" rotation. This headwind seems to be weakening.
The funny thing about this expectation was that nearly everyone expected ETH to outperform BTC, so in that mindset, "allocating towards BTC was pointless". So the play was to wait for BTC whales rotate into ETH, then sell ETH to pump alts. So, ETH selling was heavily baked in.
What was even worse, some jumped the gun and didn't buy ETH; instead, they bet on ETH "betas" directly, such as L2 tokens. Some VCs even publicly gloat about investing in L2s as a beta on ETH, so they don't need to buy ETH.
Hence, you faced significant selling pressure from rotation expectations and weaker buying pressure from the presence of "blue-chip ETH betas," e.g., blue-chip DeFi, L2s, blue-chip NFTs, restaking, etc. BTC didn't have the same problem because a large cohort of its buyers is uninterested in "crypto", and frankly, Bitcoiners don't seem to give a fuck about their BTCfi or whatever BTC ecosystem - interesting lesson here. A lot of them just lump their BTC "product" in with the rest and call it a "crypto scam".
Crypto traders' barbell seem skew towards BTC & SOL/HYPE combo. Everyone seems to celebrate shorting ETH as a sure win. Over time, this change in the barbell should significantly reduce ETH selling pressure.

What are you talking about? BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and BNB all reached a new ATH last year. That was a bull market.

Tom Lee suggested 150k BTC and 7k ETH by EOY 25. He's no better than any other analyst.

The man has staked his entire reputation on the ETH fund. Even the bonus is ETH-demominated. So he is heavily invested in ETH, and his fortunes are tied to it.

Wasn’t there a way with ETH addresses you could make your own I forgot it was a long time ago where you could seed it or something
