Just logged back in and the correct portfolio amount is now reflected reinstating my ETH holdings. Whew!

I would never assume ETH or SOL will reach their ATHs again. Take it from someone who rode atom, dot, ada, aave, and many others all the way up, didn’t sell in time, and rode them all the way down, even buying more while crashing with the assumption they’d “at least reach their previous ATH”
Now BTC, I fully assume as long as the dollar keeps inflating and demand stays the same that it will reach its previous ATH - which is as close to a guarantee in crypto as one could get.

Simple, use rocketpool ETH which is liquid stakingn means you can convert it back at anytime and getting static \\\~5% APY by average.
Use [flake.exchange](http://flake.exchange) and just select ETH \> rETH, that's the best way to stake your ethereum.

How do you guys bridge ETH?

Garrett Jin has enough ETH to drive the price down a few times on low liquidity weekends. However, someone on here a few days ago speculated a portion is locked up on Aave.

Should I? Or split between ETH and BTC..

The point wasn’t anti-alt — more that capital isn’t flowing into “alts as a class” anymore. It’s concentrating in specific themes (ETH, AI infra, a few majors). Your stack actually sits in the stronger side of that rotation.

Vitalik is actually a honest guy
Maybe thats why ETH price been suffering, need to be criminal like CZ to succeed

>Altcoin sell pressure just hit a 5-year extreme.

CryptoQuant, Feb 17, 2026:

\- Cumulative Buy/Sell Diff (alts, ex-BTC/ETH): -209B
\- Jan 2025: near zero - last time demand matched supply
\- Since then: -209B in 13 months. One direction only.
\- BTC at 68.8K. Down from 125K+ ATH in Oct 2025.

Retail is out. Smart money rotated. No institutional alt accumulation in sight.

This is not a dip. It's 13 months of continuous net selling on CEX spot.

\-209B doesn't mean bottom. It means buyers are gone.

Smart move only risking what you're willing to lose, most people skip that part. One thing I'd add:
set your exit plan now before the emotions kick in.
I bought back into DOGE at $0.07, watched it run to $14K unrealized, never set a take-profit, and rode it back down. Did the same thing on ETH and BTC after that.
The buying part is easy. Knowing when to take profit is what actually makes you money. DCA in, set trailing stops, and decide your targets before the green candles start messing with your head.

I bought most of my ETH when it was 500 $ CAD (in 2020?)
I bought it because I believe in the ETH network and have continued to purchase small amounts over the years. I've only invested what I can afford to lose and have always seen it as a very long term investment. It's not a get rich quick coin, so I don't treat it like that.
At the end of the day I hold because I can afford to. If I were in some dire situation I'd likely have to sell all investments. But I try to invest carefully and it means I don't panic when markets are down. I'm in it for the long haul

Crypto Macro Hold: BTC ~$67K, ETH ~$1.9–2K; Whales Accumulate as Retail Stays Strong

All of my staked ETH was removed in an "Administrative Debit" transaction as well. No notification, no reasoning. It's just gone with a line in my transaction history. Opened ticket #6118512 with support.

You mean to tell me a billionaire fascist who yammers on about the anti-christ, has a sick and twisted relationship with technology and power through Palantir and opposes womens right to vote. Doesn't have a stake in ETH?
[Oh no....Anyways].GIF

Yes sell everything to buy ETH, you got it!

Same. Was staking ETH and my entire ETH holdings completely missing now. On the transaction history as “Administrative debit”. Opened a ticket as well

I'm going to piggyback on your comment, because it's at the top of the thread.
I've been thinking a lot this week about these icons and why they're changing. I think I understand what might be going on under the hood, but this is speculation at best, as I don't work in the industry.
For a while, I was involved in a web3 / crypto side project for yield farming. People could deposit their money in one of our contracts, and we'd send it off to some other contract that generated yield.
So if someone had USDC that they wanted to invest and make yield on, they would look for one of our contracts that promised to keep the asset in USDC. Nobody in crypto wants you to invest their USDC in whatever shitcoin you feel like. They want exposure to USDC and some small yield.
In other cases, people wanted to provide liquidity between some specific token / crypto, like ETH, and help be market makers for ETH/USDC. There were no shortage of places to do this (sushiswap, uniswap, [harvest.finance](http://harvest.finance), aave, and many others).
When we made wrapper contracts for these other services, ones that promised to help automate the harvesting of yield and redeploying their yield for faster compounding, we needed to display this to users in a way that made sense.
We couldn't just have a USDC icon. People want to know what else is involved. So if it's a AAVE/USDC liquidity pool, we needed both the AAVE logo, and the USDC logo. But people also cared WHERE it was being invested. Was it on sushiswap? Or uniswap? Or pancake swap? Or some random new service? So we needed to work that into the icon via overlays.
Eventually, we started supporting different chains. Not just some tokens on ethereum mainnet, but also the SAME tokens but on polygon, or optimism, arbritrum, cronos, etc.
In short, it wasn't enough to know a token was "USDC", but was in fact more important to know where the token would be secured. Who was the custodian? Who was making this contract that you were sending your money to?
It's possible that these icons being phased in are trying to visually represent, to more sophisticated traders, not just what the asset is, but where it is.
People think that stocks are stocks are stocks, but we know that's wrong. We ALSO know the DTCC is tokenizing all the things now, because they have an exemption for a few years.
We know there are "baskets", which function similar to liquidity pools in crypto. We know there are essentially separate chains, especially internationally, where the HK exchange might own some "shares" at the DTCC, but then create their own wrapper products backed by those shares at the DTCC, and the wrappers trade around in their local exchange.
In short, the true structure of the market really isn't as different from crypto as we imagine; you have assets wrapping assets, you have liquidity pools, you have ETFs trading based on the assets they hold, etc... it's just that the brokerages and prime brokers and banks and clearing houses kinda obscured the difference and implied to us that a share is a share is a share, so don't think too hard about it.
These changes to icons might be the first step in trying to bring clarity, via icons, as to exactly what you're trading around. You're not trading a real share, because real shares can only be traded at computershare. You're trading some financial product that wraps the real share, and it's created and maintained by some other random company somewhere. In many brokerages you're probably not trading anything close to real shares, just exposure to the share as provided by some fintech.
Anyway, these icon changes reminded me very heavily of the work I had done in crypto a few years ago, and I thought I'd share.

6 months? Gamble. 5-10 years? BTC, ETH, Index Funds

I'm not saying that it's necessarily true that it's dead, but there are quite a few differences this bear market compared to last:
- The rally was way smaller. Only 2x from the previous ATH, a price that we have now gone back down to, 5 years later. The weakness of this cycle will make a lot of people disillusioned about future performance.
- We had no trigger to the bear market. No black swans, the most crypto-friendly US government imaginable, stock and metal markets reaching ATHs, and yet crypto is in the shitter.
- The crypto market feels more centralized and fragile than ever. Just Microstrategy alone going bankrupt would IMO bring BTC to a four digit price. Bitmine going bankrupt would bring ETH to triple digits or worse. Any black swan at all on top of the already bearish market feels like it could be devastating.

In terms of a % of total value, for sure. And I agree re one day doesn't mean much. It's just an interesting observation. One might assume if BTC ETFs have a negative day then ETH ETFs would too.
