ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I started with ETH. It's a solid long-term choice since so much of the crypto ecosystem runs thru ETH; however, I like to trade arbitrage a lot so the fees were a tad unappealing, so I mostly switched to SOL, esp with its increasing trading card game gacha presence and fees being about $0.03. I also preferred SOL due to the higher APY%, but a part of that simply offsets for inflation. I also really love Jupiter as a DEX and the team behind it.
At the end of the day, you should diversify a bit anyways, so I recommend trying more than one and get a feel for the space. Some recommend 50% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% SOL. I'm like 10% ETH and 90% SOL, but you do you.

I’ve only been in crypto for a few months and so far I’ve just bought a small amount of Bitcoin.
Now I started researching other coins, and Ethereum keeps coming up as one of the more established options. I understand that it has more uses than just being a currency, but I’m still not sure what actually makes ETH a strong long-term investment, or what the biggest risks are compared with Bitcoin.
Could you tell me what made you choose it? Do you still think it has good long-term potential?
Also, as a beginner, what should I pay attention to before buying? Things like fees, staking, storage, position size, or anything else that new investors often overlook.
Thanks

I keep LP pretty narrow and mostly on pairs I would hold anyway. Major ETH pairs make more sense to me right now

I recently transferred BTC, ETH and many other coins, and zero problems 🤷🙂

Ja - Ich nutze sowohl das Depot bei der ING, wo auch mein Girokonto inzwischen liegt, als auch mein -bereits zuvor bestehendes- Depot bei TR.
Sparpläne sind auf beiden in etwa gleich hoch und auf beiden läuft ein ETF-Weltportfolio. Bei der ING zahle ich monatlich 150€ ein, die dann -Sofern es kommt- zukünftig in das Altersvorsorgedepot fließen sollen. Rest sowie Tagesgeld bleibt bei TR.
Wenn man vermögenswirksame Leistungen dazuzählt habe ich noch ein Depot bei der UnionInvestment (Hatte mein Girokonto zuvor bei der Raiffeisenbank), aber das wird aus Kostengründen außerhalb von VL nicht genutzt.
Bison wäre theoretisch auch ein Depot, aber dahin fließen bei mir nur 35€ monatlich in BTC und ETH (25:10), sonst halte ich keine Positionen dort.

Lol if there's one thing I DO NOT want to see, it is this. The amount of ETH wasted during the crazy NFT and Gas spikes would potentially start a new drinking problem 😅

US gov transferred $338M+ from confiscated wallets to Coinbase Prime and new addresses. 3,940 BTC, 40,000 ETH, $21M USDT, $1M in USDC, SHIB and other tokens

BTC, ETH and NEXO

Plus, the more ETH used, the more ETH os burned. With high usage, it becomes deflationary by nature.

Just buy ETH but don’t whine if BMNR happens to be trading at a fat premium in the future.

Watch his documentary, his brain is like a computer when it comes to blockchain. I don’t think he ever putting much time in thinking about ETH as a business that’s why you have institutions and DAT‘s coming in now to scale and secure the network.

I’ve had to sell. Started with SOL, BNB, ADA at first. Unfortunately I’ve been out of work for almost a year. I sold my ETH next and most recently I’ve sold half my BTC. I’m really glad that I had it as it has gotten me thru a tough time.

I don’t think there’s a true “set and forget” swap platform tbh.
One can be great today and average tomorrow depending on liquidity and routing. For small swaps I don’t overthink it, but for bigger ones I still compare a couple quotes.
Are you mostly swapping on ETH, Solana, or across chains?

you shouldn’t need to sell your investments to fund purchases unless you are experiencing hyper inflation in your currency. crypto (more specifically BTC & ETH) is better as a buy and hold than transactional currency

Sounds like you're confusing ETH and Ethereum, doomer.

I think he cares more about building useful infrastructure because if people actually use ethereum demand for ETH should follow naturally

I think you are confusing criticism of ETH’s current performance with bearishness about ETH itself. I am bullish on ETH and have held it since 2017. My frustration comes from believing it should be valued much higher, not from wanting or expecting it to fail.
Disagreeing with a modestly positive interpretation is not “pouncing,” and calling severe underperformance pathetic is not the same as having a doomer take.

I don't see any alpha signal here, so I would say it's a lot of hot air. Here is the bigger issue, you mention the things it saw today on PPI. What does this mean to you? PPI happens, the market then prices this in almost immediately, and then it's over. Then your bot says this: Today's Classification
• Day Type: EVENT\_RISK\_DAY
• Directional Mode: TRANSITION
• Confidence: 74%
• Market Health: BUYER\_CONTROL (76)
• Leadership: BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP all bullish
• 81% of sampled assets above EMA50
• Volatility Regime: NORMAL So what are you doing? Buying High and hoping for higher? This doesn't sound like an alpha, it sounds like your tool is just classifying the current state of the market after the fact. Good luck

So where is ETH headed now? Are we setting a new base level or is this going to shit the bed again?

Explain it to me like I'm five - why choose bmnr over ETH
