ETH at $2.7k. Consolidation or pullback?

Lol ETH and SOL are the chains that people actually use

I have a minority take. $12-$20k by August 2027, then bear market until mid-to-late 2028. ETH bottom will be around $4k at end of next bear. So if we are anywhere near $12-20k by august 2027, I'd probably sell your stack.

Trust story and a lot are already moving to turn everything digital deeds to just about anything you can think of. The overall market is set to 4-5X by 2030. What that does for tokens like ETH, NEAR, FLARE, and SOL should be something to see and that’s just on the smaller scale at $5-8T coming on chain. But when the world of $500T+ in assets comes on chain… People will wonder wtf they were thinking in selling things so low.

The price stability is the easy part. The liquidation path is where these break.
Three questions worth asking before you post one as collateral:
**Can a liquidator actually hold it?** If transfers are whitelist-gated, your liquidator set shrinks to whoever cleared the issuer's KYC. A thin liquidator set means liquidations fire late and fill worse, and the protocol eats the gap.
**What does the oracle price?** Most of these mark to NAV. NAV reads 1.00 on a Saturday while the secondary bid is 0.985 and redemption doesn't open until Monday morning. You either get liquidated at a price nobody will pay, or you don't get liquidated at all and the hole grows.
**Who can freeze it?** If the issuer can freeze the token mid-liquidation, the protocol is sitting on collateral it cannot sell. That risk has no on-chain hedge.
Would I borrow against one? Yes, small, and with a wider buffer than I keep on volatile collateral. I hold a 1.40 health factor floor on ETH borrows where liquidation clears in seconds. For collateral with banking-hours redemption I'd want more room, not less. The stable price tempts you into a tight buffer exactly where the exit is slowest.

I'd do:
ETH: 30%
SOL: 30%
ZEC: 30% - Will outperform ETH, SOL and BTC.
BTC: 10% - ZEC implosion insurance
BTC's heyday is over. The others are better blockchains, and BTC will start having returns comparable to mag 7, so why take the extra risk?

1 ZEC soon to be worth more than 1 ETH, it's like buying ethereum in 2017, crazy

ETH has 3 separate teams work on it what are you talking about 🌽🏀

Current crypto balance:
\~$75.6k
BTC: 44%
ETH: 37%
SOL: 19%
Long-term target 50/35/15. Harvest plan is based on gains above each asset’s cost basis:
• BTC: trim once it reaches +75% over cost basis
• ETH: trim at +60% over cost basis
• SOL: trim at +40% over cost basis
I’m only harvesting part of the gain, not touching the original principal, and the harvested money goes to taxes first, then into a diversified managed portfolio.
What am I missing? Where would you poke holes in this strategy?

What are you rambling about. ETH is up 100% over the last 5 yrs. And for Those who sell when it hits 3k Crypto isn't for them

>**Clearing houses shush,**
>**Margins beat around the bush,**
>**Tokenized stock push.**
~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

It's my third-largest position now!
High Tide Inc. is first, BMNR is second (in terms of ETH exposure).

our time will come

You don't need to do HFT to benefit from a faster Ethereum. Better quotes and better execution means less value extracted (MEV) from those types of transactions network wide. Less value extracted from Ethereum users keeps more value in the system, good for traders, token holders and ETH holders that don't even use the chain.
>all their tokenization solutions require trusted intermediaries
Most do, but a stablecoin on permissionless rails is a massive upgrade from a system that lives in the basement of a privately owned company.
This is a good writeup of why quick slots help Ethereum:

Yeah ETH needs to eventually outrun BTC by a lot. It just hasnt done that for the past few years.

"It would also make it easier to pill newer entrants."
if this was true wouldn't be see higher adoption these days since there are so many chains with fast block times? where is the evidence this is happening
the highest period of accelerating consumer adoption was 2021 era (ironically a time of mass congestion and high gas prices on ETH L1) and things have plateaued since then
"trading becomes better overnight"
personally could care less about trading I rarely trade onchain these days and I think mass adoption via onchain trading is unlikely to happen (we've tapped out the market of humans that want to go out on that risk curve)

Wut?

We're at 0.031. Most of ETH's history has been above this level. And when were below it, it was goblin town. I guess if we trend upward for the next year and/or get to 0.05+, I'd call it amazing.

Sounds like you’ve already found something that works. Next time, [superswap.cx](http://superswap.cx/) is another ETH → BTC no kyc option to compare with stuff like Cake Wallet, Hyperliquid

I don't think it's about enabling any one use case. Ethereum will never be as fast as L2s with more centralized validation. But an increase from 12 seconds per block, to say 2 seconds per block, would make a world of difference for the user-experience of using things on Ethereum,
It would also make it easier to pill newer entrants. Normally people that are new to crypto, especially smaller wallets, wouldn't be willing to use ETH because the tradeoff of more security is not worth the long block times and expensive gas. But if the block-time difference is a couple seconds on L1 to half-a-second on L2s or Solana, it's really not all that different, and the additional security and larger liquidity might be a reason for them to stick around.
And then, from a pure making-things-bettter standpoint, faster block times mean AMM quotes become stale much less quickly between the time you make your transaction and the time it executes. So trading becomes better overnight

I've seen people promoting efforts to make Ethereum faster recently and I'm a bit confused why that's a priority
what use cases do we expect to be made possible by making Ethereum marginally faster? what's out there that we KNOW will be worth the tradeoffs of decentralization for speed?
many many many L2s and alt L1s are faster than ETH and no sticky use cases have emerged on them beyond what we already know works on every blockchain (gambling apps)
and the past year saw a launch where the entire pitch was "superfastchain" and this is the result:

can someone pill me on the need for speed?
