Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Sad truth is, although its relatively useless, i agree, ETH is heavily reliant on BTC success to at least begin snowballing.
Until that snowball happens, I would argue that if BTC collapses long-term, nothing in crypto would be trusted.
BTC is the biggest successful meme, but it does hold one very vital positive that ETH doesn't have.
It's the most decentralized crypto by far. ETH is second most, but it isn't on the level of BTC, esp. after POS.

ngl I had almost this exact phase when I first got a crypto bot to look good in backtests, and the painful part was finding out how much was just crypto beta + survivorship bias. I'd run it against buy-and-hold BTC/ETH, a simple MA filter, and the same logic on coins that were available at the time rather than today's winners. Also make sure fees, spread, partial fills, and exchange downtime are in there, because those ate way more edge for me than the strategy logic did. The Raspberry Pi is fine for slower signals imo, but I'd be paranoid about websocket reconnects and order state getting out of sync during volatility. Paper trading for a few months is the right move, just don't change the rules every time it underperforms or the test becomes kinda useless. still, nice project for a few weeks in, most people never even get past the lookahead bugs lol

What's your math and reasoning for this?
Right now, ETH will need to be at 20mil USD give or take to retire someone relatively middle aged, depending on area where they live.
So, what would allow ETH get to 2.435 quadrillion USD market cap?
Day number 2 of fighting shillers.

Market cap = price someone is willing to buy * circulating supply. 
End of list. 
Revenue generation is only a slim part of a use case, and doesnt influence demand the way you are thinking it does. Like, sure, I like that I can stake my ETH for some yield, but that's not why I bought some in the slightest. 
I actually like XRP and XLM for exactly what you said- they can move money for very little fees at all.

I totally agree, it’s incredibly frustrating. I have a neighbor who is a total silver-spoon meathead - inherited a high-paying job, drives fancy cars, but literally doesn't know how to change lawnmower oil. He never lifts a finger. He blindly bought some BTC and won big.
Meanwhile, I slaved away building rigs, mining ETH, upgrading my HVAC, and installing exhaust fans. I completely immersed myself in it. Yet, his casual Bitcoin bet completely outperformed my hard work. It sucks that the space is full of meatheads who only care about BTC numbers going up while ignoring the actual tech and projects like Ethereum and ETH.
There are plenty people out there who think a fair value for ETH is $500 and BTC $250,000 to $1 million. Unfortunately Bitcoin has a much better mindshare. We'll see how it pans out in the long run though.

0.1 ETH will retire you one day

it means degen exchange their ETH for it on Base then Brian the sycophant swap this ETH into BTC

The reality is, BTC deserves to go to like 100B mcap (generously). Bitcoin is absolutely useless, and if it wasn't for ETH, I would be so fucking far away from crypto, that I might as well be shorting it.
But it makes me question why I am still here. Am I seriously going to wait for BTC to implode, so that maybe some day ETH moves on its own? Like, at this point, I am hoping that BTC goes to 120k because only then will ETH do something with it. But BTC at 120k is litteraly a bubble.
So here I am hoping that BTC (a completely useless coin) enters a bubble, just so ETH can see the light of day. Wtf am I doing?

I mean, end of a year is highly unlikely. I'd say if you are making a play like that you would need a longer time horizon, expecting to 5X in 6 months on ETH is unreasonable.

Top 10 changes with every bull cycle. Only investment you could argue is safe right now in Crypto is BTC and only because of its history. No alt coin is safe, not even Ethereum. ETH used to be safe but, not anymore

Because Binance is the top price suppressor, it suppresses coins like ETH and SOL if they gain too much momentum (bullish or bearish) via wintermute. However it NEVER suppresses BNB for some reason.

I really hope people will realize memecoins were only a distraction and a way for pump & dump schemes. No real value, no transparency, no plans, just pure hype and rugpulls.
Crypto space definitely needs purge, and it seems it is finally happening. Thank God for bear market. Next stop, ETH killers, L2s, DeFi/DEX coins. Whatever has no real use case, shouldn't attract capital!

1. Your screenshot shows 'Outside RTH' toggled off
2. Stops don't work in ETH
3. The moon icon in the top right shows that you're trading during ETH

Eth staking works on a queue system as only a certain amount of ETH can be staked per Epoch the queue is currently about 50 days but it was longer recently, unstaking works the same but demand to unstake is significantly lower so currently it's around a day, these parameters are set by the chain not CDC.

Du kannst halt nicht shitcoins und hypecoins Müll mit den top 2 coins vergleichen, BTC und ETH.

for people who wants ETH's price to go up : start your own organization, build tools to accelerate ETH adoption, buy, stake and promot it. JUST STOP ASKING FOR THE CENTRALIZATION OF THE NETWORK

Been doing a lot of cross-chain swaps lately (BTC to ETH, XMR to BTC, etc.) and got tired of manually checking rates across different protocols every time. Wanted to share what I learned in case it's useful to others here.
**The four main non-custodial options right now:**
**THORChain** — Most mature, deepest liquidity for BTC/ETH/major pairs. Fees are usually 0.1-0.3% but can spike on volatile pairs. Occasionally pauses trading for maintenance.
**Chainflip** — Faster settlement than THORChain in my testing, competitive rates especially for BTC/ETH/SOL. Newer so liquidity is thinner on less common pairs.
**NEAR Intents** — Intent-based architecture, surprised me with good rates on XRP and stablecoin pairs. Settlement felt fast.
**ChangeNOW** — Best coverage for long-tail assets (TAO, HYPE, etc.) that the decentralized protocols don't support yet, but it's more centralized in nature.
**Key takeaway:** no single protocol is consistently cheapest. The "best rate" shifts depending on the pair, amount, and time of day. For swaps over $500 I saw rate differences of 1-3% between providers on the same pair, which adds up.
I ended up building a small tool (called TokensFund, you can search for it if curious) that pulls quotes from all four side by side so I don't have to manually check each one. Mentioning it for transparency since I'm obviously biased, but the comparison data itself is the useful part even if you check rates manually elsewhere.
Curious if others have noticed the same rate variance, or have found other non-custodial protocols worth comparing. Always looking to add more sources.

Well said. On the problematic BTC timeline:
**2032**: Quantum likely to break Satoshis private keys. AI is speeding up development on quantum algos: [https://www.ecdsa.fail/](https://www.ecdsa.fail/)
Ethereum has a solid roadmap and tons of work speeding ahead: [https://pq.ethereum.org/](https://pq.ethereum.org/)
**2032**: Bitcoin's security budget falls to \~0.19%/y with the 6th halving. Bitcoin is very unlikely to earn substantially more network fees than today making the network unsafe. Deep reorgs, censorship, network halts. The works. [https://budget.day/](https://budget.day/)
Ethereum doesn't have this problem as it purposefully chooses long term security over a halving.
Both of these issues seem to collide around the same time. **2032.** Both require years of preparation and community consensus. Bitcoin famously does not like change. I would guess infighting starts lighting up in two years or so.
ETH needs to flip BTC before bitcoins problems drag the whole space down. **Either way** ETH will end up on top in a couple years.

Do not put ETH into it.
Treat the token balance as fake unless you can independently verify the exact token contract on a normal explorer and see real liquidity on a known DEX. In this pattern the “gas to withdraw/claim” is usually the second payment they are trying to extract.
I’d do three things now:
- stop talking to the caller and ignore any “support” DMs
- screenshot the app, token contract, wallet address and payment trail
- call the bank/card provider immediately and report it through Scamwatch in Australia
If he installed any remote access app or let them guide him through screens, assume the phone/bank login may be compromised too.
