ETH has tested everyone's patience at this point lol

Uh, are you still living in 2021? It's now $0.003 per ETH transfer or $0.08 per ERC-20 token transfer. Gas fees have been cheap on Ethereum mainnet for years.

Yooooo what yo quit ETH ?

If most of the value of ETH gas fee didn't vanish in the network's inefficiency what you say could be true.

Yeah this one stung me too. Last year I tried paying a domain registrar with ETH and landed in the exact same maze, wrong network USDT, bridge, then not enough gas for the final hop. By the time I sorted it the invoice had expired and I just paid with my card. The old days really did just work, one address and done.

Most vendors in the US will take USDT or USDC on Eth. You should ask the vendor first what asset they want payment and on what chain. Most companies cant take on the risk of holding ETH so they prefer payment in stablecoin. If you were on a CEX, just sell the ETH for USDT and then withdraw to the vendor’s wallet, it will cost fees. If you are trying to do this on chain, then you need to deal with gas, swaps, and all of that.

I miss the old days where you would just get an address to send to. I tried paying for a saas using crypto, and holy shit, what a pain in the ass. There wasn’t even an option to just pay with BTC, LTC, ETH, etc. I had to connect a wallet, so I linked my Trust Wallet. I had $20 worth of ETH, but apparently, I needed USDT instead. Fine, I swapped my ETH to USDT. Turns out, USDT exists on different networks, and I somehow ended up with USDT on Tron. So I had to swap that to USDT on Ethereum, and it seemed like almost 50% went toward energy rental or whatever the hell that was. Finally, I had enough USDT on Ethereum to make the payment. Guess what? Now it tells me I don’t have enough ETH to cover the gas fee. **Wtf?** I literally started with ETH. Why couldn’t you just let me pay with ETH in the first place? Instead, I had to go through multiple swaps, deal with different networks, lose money on fees, and still couldn’t make the payment. \*this rant was cleaned up by LLM but my experience was real

🌍 Macro U.S. technology stocks rebounded as semiconductor shares rose 1.6%, ending an eight-session losing streak—their longest since October 2008. The Nasdaq gained 1.11%, led by memory chip stocks, while concerns over AI-related selling eased. However, geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain a risk to global energy and financial markets. BTC failed to break above $83K and retreated toward $81.5K, with near-term selling pressure intensifying. ⸻ 📈 Market Snapshot • BTC: $81,937.7 (-0.21%) • ETH: $2,408.19 (-0.08%) • NASDAQ: 26,430.89 (+1.11%) • S&P 500: 7,690.73 (+0.41%) • F&G: 55 (previous: 59) ⸻ 🧠 Market Take BTC’s attempted recovery toward $83K stalled, and the former $82,000–$82,200 support zone has now turned into near-term resistance. Price is testing the $81,300–$81,500 support area, where a sustained hold could help stabilize the market. Reclaiming $82K is the first step toward easing downside pressure; a breakdown below $81.3K would weaken the short-term outlook further. Meanwhile, crypto regulation is moving in two directions: institutional access is expanding while tax and enforcement requirements are tightening. Deutsche Bank is planning institutional-grade crypto custody, potentially creating a compliant entry point for traditional asset managers and pension funds. At the same time, France is considering tighter tax treatment for crypto-to-stablecoin conversions, highlighting the growing importance of compliance and tax planning. Institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure is also accelerating. JPMorgan expanded JPM Coin to Ethereum for institutional clients, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL reached $2.3B in assets, and Mesh partnered with Visa to enable crypto spending across 175M merchant locations. These developments point toward deeper integration of digital assets into payments, collateral management, and traditional financial services. Key levels: * Resistance: $82,000–$82,200 / $83,000 * Support: $81,300–$81,500 / $80,000 * Trend: Bearish pressure, testing support BTC needs to reclaim $82,200 to improve its short-term structure, while a decisive break below $81,300 could open the way toward $80K. ⸻ 🔥 Hot Tokens * BR: Gained over 50% intraday amid unusual price and volume activity, with daily trading volume rising more than 160%. * SURPLUS: Surged over 60% intraday as its market cap briefly reached a record $18.21M, before closing up more than 24%. * WLD: Rose 8% after World launched a World ID verification product targeting banks and financial institutions. * CT: Closed up 11% after briefly gaining more than 48% on news of planned KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs on a South Korean exchange. * ARB: Gained nearly 5% after Arbitrum launched a USDG stablecoin growth program with a 2M ARB reward pool. ⸻ 📰 Key Updates * CFTC: Proposed a Reg CM framework that would allow crypto exchanges to opt into federal oversight instead of navigating fragmented state licensing requirements. * JPMorgan: Expanded its institutional deposit token, JPM Coin, to Ethereum. * BlackRock: Its tokenized money market fund BUIDL reached $2.3B in assets and is exploring tokenized collateral and payment use cases. * Visa/Mesh: Partnered to enable crypto payments across 175M merchant locations. * Mastercard: Launched Stablecoin Security to screen stablecoin-related fraud and sanctions risks. * Revolut: Obtained a DLT provider license in Gibraltar. * U.S. tax policy: Authorities are considering a voluntary disclosure program for digital asset tax compliance. * Token unlocks: ZRO unlocks approximately $57.3M on October 20, followed by AKE at $64.7M on October 21. APR faces a major unlock of 52.96% of circulating supply on October 23. ⸻ ⚡ Quick Take BTC remains under pressure after failing to break $83K, with $81,300–$81,500 now the critical support zone as the broader crypto market lags the equity rebound. Institutional adoption of crypto custody, tokenized funds, and payment infrastructure continues to advance, but **BTC must reclaim $82,200 to ease near-term bearish pressure**.

Make investments not bets, buy some blue chip crypto, BTC,SOL, ETH and a handful of small cap UNI, LTC ect do the research. Have that be like 20% of your bag then move to stocks and spread it out I hold small amounts of stocks but like 50 different companies that way when one sector is going down others are going up fine tune it until you can beat the Spy. My current portfolio mostly outperforms on the way up but is more stable on the way down. If you make 10k a month I’d be setting 2k minimum into my portfolio with a DCA strategy. Do not try and get rich quick you will fail. But if you make a great investment and you sell it with some gains you can take a portion of the winnings and use that to YOLO. I have a separate account that is strictly YOLO I set aside a portion of my gains there into a high yield (STRC) and let it grow and once I have enough I throw it down on a YOLO bet typically lose it but whenever I gain I take half of my winnings and set it aside and continue on with the rest of it. Discipline is the key to healthy trading.

I can’t believe nobody is talking about this. If you don’t know Santi Siri (@santisiri): he’s an Argentine builder who founded Democracy Earth and co-created Proof of Humanity, plus the $UBI token, an on-chain universal basic income for verified humans. Back in 2021 Vitalik Buterin bought and burned 50 ETH worth of $UBI, and the price ran more than 30x in about an hour. Now there’s $SAIRI, a tokenized AI agent on Base that’s tied to him. It’s built around the idea of AI as an autonomous on-chain economic actor. It’s sitting at roughly \~$170K–200K market cap. Considering who’s behind the idea and what he’s been pushing on his socials lately, that number makes no sense to me. Don’t take my word for it. Go check [https://x.com/santisiri](https://x.com/santisiri) on X and you’ll see what I mean. I’m going to come back in a month and post an update on where it is. *Not financial advice. Small caps can go to zero. DYOR.* Lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Invest weekly into ETH 70% and Silver 30%? What do you think?

Agreed. People here tend to get upset whenever TRX or BNB is mentioned. From a decentralization standpoint, I understand the criticism. But from an investment perspective, surely it's worth examining what they've done right to keep pace with Bitcoin. Zoom out five years: **BTC: +27.69%** **ETH: -38.04%** **BNB: +49.28%** **TRX: +229.37%** Let that sink in. Both BNB and TRX actually outperformed Bitcoin, while Ethereum lost nearly 51.5% of its value against BTC! We should be asking what they're doing right and what Ethereum is doing wrong, rather than dismissing them simply because they're more centralized. Neither BNB nor TRX comes close to Bitcoin in terms of mainstream marketing, recognition, or mindshare, yet both have outperformed it over the past five years. Clearly, there's something worth learning here. Decentralization is important, but it doesn't automatically translate into investment performance.

VALL, VWRA, IGLA long term You can do crypto sa IBKR din pero i prefer yun stocks na leveraged proxy for crypto like MSTR (for BTC) and BMNR (for ETH)

They took the ETH name so crypto bros are really gonna get fucked🤣

Do you guys use Safe for ETH multisig? Has there ever been any malicious activity or security concerns or is it generally considered safe to use?

The problem is in the premines. Like there's this tech investor who is a kind of Cathy Woods who keeps buying ETH, but he's just driving up exit liquidity for the ethereum foundation.

If nothing is done soon regarding L2's diluting/chipping away ETH value, ETH wont be appealing to any new investors and will become a permanent near-stablecoin ranging from 1500-5000$ every cycle. I mean, How can Vitalik not see this by now?

a bounty for the buildooors Austin Griffith from the EF launched a new open source 3D printable hardware wallet last week: https://x.com/austingriffith/status/2111105390368948680 🩲 https://wedgie.dev/ and now there's a $45 bounty on mainnet (with funding from Austin and myself) for whoever builds one first + posts proof of the build process: https://poidh.xyz/mainnet/bounty/40 open bounty so anyone who wants to promote open source hardware wallets can help the mission by adding ETH to the pot 🫡

>Has anyone here used MPC wallets? How was your experience? Yeah I've been using Viltisig from the beginning. The upsides are: \- There never exists a single full key anywhere, so there are no seed words to be compromised. \- There's no single point of failure. \- You use your own hardware that you already own (smartphone, desktop, browser extension, etc.) so you don't need to buy any specialized hardware. \- You can always add or remove a device or re-distribute the key-shares without losing the underlying wallet, which makes it flexible. \- It's pretty much chain-agnostic, open-source and has undergone public audits. And in case the application gets abandoned for some reason you can use an [emergency tool](https://docs.vultisig.com/security-and-technology/emergency-recovery) to retrieve individual keys per chain (i.e. a BTC wallet key, an ETH wallet key, etc. depending on what you need). There's a user-friendly tool and a CLI tool for more technically inclined people. The downsides are: \- Slightly higher overhead for signing transactions, because you have to coordinate with multiple devices (though there is a single-device option that involves a third-party signing server that works together with a password, completely optional) \- You have to make sure to keep (optionally encrypted) backups of the key-shares for each threshold device, which is the equivalent of keeping a backup for a seed phrase. If you don't and use more devices/keys than the minimum threshold, you're fucked. (You also need to make sure not to keep the backups in the same location, but they can be encrypted with a password at least, just in case). That's from the top of my head, I'm sure I forgot some details. But yeah, it's not necessarily more secure or less, it really depends on your needs and wants.

A two-year window is short enough that downside matters more than picking the most exciting coin. I’d first decide how much loss you could tolerate, whether the money must be available on schedule, and what would invalidate each thesis before comparing ETH, Monero or QNT. Is the two-year date flexible?

Large node operator exiting, so about 2000 validators worth of ETH are without yield until they’re done exiting and new validators are up to replace them.

Modeling fee drag in 15m mean-reversion backtests on SOL, XRP, and ETH: Spot (0.10%/side) vs Perp Maker (0.02%)?

30M, single, Seaman. Earning around 420k-450k/month. I don’t want to be a seaman forever and plans to retire early. I currently have liquid 3m cash. As preparation for my early retirement 10-15 years from now, hopefully? What will be the best option you think I can do? I am targetting to invest 200k php/month, my options are: 1. Start investing on VUAA via IBKR, an Irish domicile ETF to lessen tax. What other ETF should i buy when I go with this option? I am currently worried with peso weakening against USD which is why i am still doubtful with this as Peso to USD might strengthen comes 2028 election? I am worried when this time comes, my gains will be eaten by conversion rate? 2. DCA on BTC & ETH via Binance? 3. Temporarily invest on dividend yielding stock on PSE to combat inflation and will tranfer to IBKR when peso strengthens against USD? I am watching for MER & MBT for dividend as well as ICT for stock growth.
