It was more of a rhetorical question. I know in theory ETH could be deflationary, but I don't think it's ever going to happen for any sustained period of time, and I also think it's completely irrelevant given the small level of inflation. Also, it's with intention that fees don't constitute a big portion of validator revenue, as otherwise it would incentivize bad practices like miners trying to cause gas prices to increase.

>All of the reasons for it to keep climbing were also there in the last PM bull cycle. 
Gold/Silver Ratio was lower when it topped last time. Plus, we weren't at risk of interest expenses on the federal debt actually crippling the budget in 2011. QE was going to be "temporary" and now it's every time there's a little problem.
>Crypto is actually very undervalued imo, as I expect to see BTC over $1m and ETH around $200k.
Crypto holds no intrinsic value, and you have to guess at which if any is going to get adoption and hope you guess right. Neither are challenging the Visa or Mastercards of the world for transactions. The digital gold aspect is interesting if you're in the jet set class and can have multiple homes in multiple countries but that doesn't describe me or most people. There's a limited number of bitcoin, but no limit to the number of alt-coins people can create either. I expect gold-based blockchains to take over this role, something that can actually handle the volume of transactions required for modern commerce.

Crypto is actually very undervalued imo, as I expect to see BTC over $1m and ETH around $200k.
Silver should probably top out somewhere between here and $300 imo. It’s a tough call, but that’s where I see it. I would probably be beginning to sell some tranches at these levels. 20% to 30%
All of the reasons for it to keep climbing were also there in the last PM bull cycle. The narrative sounds far more convincing and appealing during obvious market moves.

Hey, solid Base ETH yield roundup—Morpho and Pendle stand out for that moderate sweet spot.

Tips:
- Balance risk with liquidity; Aave's safer for quick exits.
- Auto-compound via Yearn to juice returns.
- Diversify to avoid single-protocol hacks.
- Monitor gas fees on Base.

Yieldseeker automates USDC yields as a stable complement. Your fave moderate play?

My pleasure bro!!
Also, the best staking mechanisms *don't* actually go through a centralised platform. I recommended RocketPool because it's governed entirely through smart contracts, and its code has been audited by thousands worldwide.
BTC, ETH, SOL and XMR comprise a really solid mix. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) might also be worth considering.
You're right! Better focus on the big ones rather than stretch yourself too thin.

tldr; Ethereum Classic (ETC) has underperformed compared to Ethereum (ETH) over the past decade, with ETC up 557% versus ETH's 22,620% growth. Ethereum Classic uses an outdated proof-of-work mechanism, while Ethereum has transitioned to a more efficient proof-of-stake system. Although ETC has a fixed coin supply, making it a potential inflation hedge, it lacks the innovation and growth seen in Ethereum. Investors are advised to consider other options like Bitcoin or Ethereum, as Ethereum Classic is deemed a less attractive investment for 2026.

I think ETH project nature must have an unlimited supply controlled by mechanism to reduce and control inflation depending on specific time and moment scenarios.
🍩 !tip 1

My bad my brain reads only ETH hahah

Personally I think stablecoins will increasingly become a thing for payments, but the adoption is probably going to be a lot slower than anyone anticipated. I think ETH will be more like a reserve asset like BTC, for collateral and stuff like that.
But yeah so much development has happened on Ethereum and so much is happening right now, but it's usually lost on people outside of the most attentive followers.

Love how the article breaks down Solana's edge – low fees mean more buybacks for us holders. No more gas wars eating profits like on ETH. $SOLF to the moon!

Ethereum Whales' Holdings Decline Steadily as ETH Price Falls Below Crucial Support

tldr; BlackRock's 2026 Thematic Outlook positions Ethereum as a core financial infrastructure for tokenized assets, emphasizing its role as a settlement layer rather than focusing on speculative value. The report highlights Ethereum's dominance, with over 65% of tokenized assets currently residing on the network. However, it notes that growth in tokenization does not directly correlate with ETH price performance due to multi-chain adoption and rollup activity. BlackRock stresses the importance of settlement paths and organic demand over raw transaction volumes for Ethereum's future role.

Hey everyone, the title pretty much sums it up. I have a small deferred compensation plan from my days at an old job. It has approximately $2300 in the account and has been growing pretty steadily. As a heads up, I already max out my 401k, Roth IRA and HSA.
For sake of simplicity, I was considering rolling it over to my traditional IRA where I've already moved older 401ks in the the past. However, I was thinking about taking a gamble and opening up a Fidelity Crypto Rollover IRA account and just buying BTC or ETH instead.
My drawbacks are that I can just buy crypto now and it really doesn't do me much good unless it was a Roth (not planning to convert it). Since it's traditional, I'd still get taxed on it even if the price went up to $1 million per coin by retirement. But also, it's a unique way to invest it since I'm already investing in more traditional ways. Thoughts?

I am not a Democrat shill just a crypto investor. I supoort the color green! its been 1 year since Trump returned lets compare:
Bitcoin
Biden 1st year (Jan 20 2021 → Jan 20 2022)
Return ≈ ((35,000 − 35,547.75) / 35,547.75) × 100 ≈ −1.5%
BTC was flat in the 1st Biden year
Trump 1st year (Jan 20 2025 → Jan 20 2026)
Return ≈ ((92,558 − 101,084) / 101,084) × 100 ≈ −8.4%
BTC has dropped modestly this is due to Trump Tarriffs
Ehtereum
Biden 1st year (Jan 20 2021 → Jan 20 2022)
Return ≈ ((2,688.28 − 1,382.27) / 1,382.27) × 100 ≈ +94.5%
ETH nearly doubled under Biden’s first year.
Trump 1st year (Jan 20 2025 → Jan 20 2026)
Return ≈ ((2,939.74 − 3,300) / 3,300) × 100 ≈ −10.9%
again this is due to Trump tariffs
Solana
Biden 1st year
Jan 2021 snapshot: SOL \\\~ $4.26 (first reliable exchange price)
Jan 2022 snapshot: SOL \\\~ $99.74 (monthly close)
Return ≈ ((99.74 − 4.26) / 4.26) × 100 ≈ +2,243%
(very large explosive growth as Solana became widely adopted)
Under Trump — First Year (Jan 20 2025 → Jan 20 2026):
Jan 20 2025 price: SOL \\\~ $242.25 (CoinMarketCap historical)
Jan 20 2026 price: SOL \\\~ $125.75 (Investing.com)
Return ≈ ((125.75 − 242.25) / 242.25) × 100 ≈ −48.1%
Trump policies favor Crypto but constant Tariffs are making investors nervous! if Trump could gurantee no new Tariffs maybe the market will recover or if there was an unexpected event requiring printing of trillions of dollars Bitcoin and Crypto will explode to new highs

You realize satoshi solo mined BTC for a year before release to the public. Then it was mined by a very small group of his friends and insiders. This is basically a premine as well. Actually worse than what ETH did which had a very pubic and open crowd sale that widely distributed the initial supply. I think bitcoiners are just salty that from its inception there was a group who valued ETH more than BTC and participated in the fund raise. Now let’s tack on the other requirements of a “shitcoin” that Bitcoiners love to throw around outages and chain roll backs. Bitcoin has had at least 2 multi hour outages in its history and it rolled the chain back due to a bug that minted billions of Bitcoin in a single block. Now let’s add bitcoins other short comings. It’s the slowest most expensive blockchain, and for that it’s not even the most decentralized nor secure. No privacy, no smart contracts, insufficient DA to actually scale, a L2 that still doesn’t work without custodial wallets, centralized liquidity hubs and reintroducing trust and permission, everything these systems were designed to solve. I think bitcoin may be the actual shitcoin

You think ETH will go lower to at least like $2500?

Pretty sure ETH is long past the point of making anyone rich.

> ETH traded at USD 1,935,00 in February 2021. Fast forward 5 years and ETH is trading at USD 2,940.00 now. That's a 5 year return of just around 50 %. That is less than 10 % per annum. That is less than average stock market return. Mutual funds that invest in technology stocks are showing returns of well over 100 % in the past 5 years.
Ok, but what happens if you make that 6 years? You've cherry-picked one of the worst timescales.

To think ATH would only be a 25x from here. I hope JAM is ready for the next bull run. ETH solved their scaling problems so idk what DOT can do

Started crypto about 18 months ago on Coinbase. Mostly trade altcoins, some swing trading. Been using MEXC as my primary exchange for the past 6 months after getting frustrated with Coinbase's limitations.
I officially made the full switch sometime last year. At first I was honestly wondering is MEXC safe, since I'd never even heard of it before, which made me a bit skeptical about security and legitimacy. I remember looking around for a decent MEXC review back then, because I was unsure about the liquidity on smaller tokens. So, figured I'd share what I experienced since a lot of people keep asking about alternatives to the major exchanges.
Month 1-2: I started testing them out. Kept both exchanges, started small ($200-500 trades). First thing I noticed: they had way more tokens available. Tokens people mentioned on Twitter were there instead of being "coming soon" or not listed at all.
Month 3-4: Shifted to using MEXC as my primary exchange. The 0% maker fee structure was saving money once I adjusted to using more limit orders. Also noticed new listings appearing much faster. Sometimes within days of trending, not months!
Month 5-6: Barely touch Coinbase now except for USD off-ramps.
Things to know before switching:
Liquidity check: For newer tokens, check order book depth before large trades
Limit orders: Use them to benefit from 0% maker fees (this is where savings happen)
Fiat planning: Figure out your cash-out strategy before you need it
Interface time: Give yourself a week to adjust to the layout
Start small: Test with small amounts first like I did
TL;DR: Switched from Coinbase to MEXC 6 months ago for better token selection and lower fees. Saved \~$600 in fees, caught several early token entries. Interface isn't as pretty but functionality is better for active altcoin trading. Two-exchange setup (trade on MEXC, cash out via Coinbase) works well. No major issues. Worth it if you trade alts frequently, not necessary if you only touch BTC/ETH.
