Is it time to buy ETH and 🌽?

How do I swap ETH for Bitcoin?

The 4 year cycle is for BTC/USD not ETH/BTC. 

You can't compare NFT and crypto. May be memecoin, but is the trend totally over ?
BTC, ETH, SOL, damn, even XRP, but there is way more, are still alive, no matter the downtrend.
NFTs were a shortlived trend.
Bear markets are frightful moments. It is temporary.

Just seen this fully onchain DEX called zSwap.
By fully onchain I mean even the frontend's HTML is stored in Ethereum state, and It passes the walk-away test.

Here's Ross (dev) explaining It a little bit. The link to the DEX deployment is in his profile. Obviously tread carefully and all.

10% of ETH fees are actually burned!

An ETH/USDT pool... not able to support a $20k trade without 4% slippage? I don't know where OP traded exactly but most pools on Ethereum for these two popular assets can easily deal with this amount with less than 1% slippage.
MetaMask is notorious for higher fees and limited routing (wouldn't put beyond them to actually use pool they have MEV bots squeezing)... prefer dApps like ShapeShift or Rango, you can connect most wallets to them, they will aggregate the best quotes using popular routers with enough liquidity, and will be much more transparent with fees/slippage.

Why convert all (including bitcoin) to usdc then move? Instead of converting all but ETH and BTC to usdc, then move usdc + bitcoin + eth ?

I keep seeing this new style of trading popping up on mobile platforms recently, mainly in the decentralized finance space for major pairs like BTC and ETH.
Basically, the expiration time on the trade is exactly 5 seconds. You aren't setting take-profits or holding for a 15-minute candle to close. You tap the button, and exactly 5 seconds later, the trade auto-closes.
For those of you who are used to traditional crypto trading or scalping perps, what is your first impression of this? Does removing the waiting and sweating phase of a trade sound appealing, or do you think 5 seconds is way too fast to actually read BTC/ETH price action? Curious to hear what normal crypto traders think of this format.

**Swapping 12 ETH through a wallet's built-in feature without checking the slippage is a crazy expensive lesson. Next time, just use Uniswap or 1inch directly.⁠**

Opensea seems to have changed pricing to $ , what a stupid decision. People will likely to buy when they see it as 1 ETH not $2000!! Why these companies are going backwards?

All this means is that we are close. The exact signal or moment hasn't tripped, yet. Probably like it generally does in these scenarios, it needs a trap - something to catch bears stepping offsides - and some macro event to trigger a new bull run.
But you are correct. I see you also noting ETH - which I agree should outperform.

Das haben die Halter von $ETH vor einigen Jahren auch gesagt. Ich bin leider skeptisch.

I used to swap on MetaMask with no issues before. It was never big amounts, so I never really cared about the fees, but yesterday I made a larger swap and it drove me crazy. I attached screenshot below. I swapped 12.31 ETH worth $23.2k and only got 22.1k USDT, which is a 4.74% drop.
I looked into it, and they advertise a fixed fee of 0.875%, so either they’re lying about that or they have very very bad liquidity. How is it possible to lose that much on an ETH/USDT pool, what the hell

I've been reviewing my restaking strategy for ezETH across L2s (mainly Arbitrum and Linea) to see if looping via Aave/Morpho is still giving optimal risk-adjusted APY.
With restaking yields settling into more mature baseline levels, managing exposure becomes a balancing act between points/native yield and health factor maintenance.
Here is how I’m evaluating the setup right now:
* **Base Yield vs. Leverage:** Looping ezETH against ETH gives a decent boost, but borrowing costs occasionally spike during high volatility.
* **Unstaking Liquidity:** Secondary market liquidity for LRTs on DEXs vs. direct protocol withdrawal queues.
* **Risk Parameters:** Keeping liquidation threshold buffers at a minimum of 1.15–1.2x to sleep safely during sudden market dips.
How are you guys structuring your ezETH restaking allocation right now? Are you keeping it simple in single-asset vaults, or running recursive loops on L2s?

Polymarket is literally on the Polygon blockchain and uses the USDC stablecoin. It’s a massive crypto success story.
Recently Robinhood launch an Ethereum L2 using native ETH as gas. It’s already going billions in daily trading volume, successfully bootstrapping a new DEX from scratch.
Crypto evolves.

Altcoins and crypto ain't dead and BTC and ETH is not the only way (although it's the safest one). Prove me wrong.

I also have it since a couple of weeks ago .. it only support BTC and ETH and there is no way to transfer in or out crypto.
Fee is 0.75% that is on the high side but nothing crazy

**Russia just exposed Bitcoin’s most dangerous feature.**
Not scarcity. Not volatility. Not mining.
**Exit.**
Moscow is opening the door to Bitcoin, ETH, and USDT.
But ordinary Russians will face limits on how much crypto they can buy through regulated intermediaries.
Why?
Because Russia wants crypto’s power… without fully accepting crypto’s freedom.
Bitcoin is useful when sanctions threaten Russian trade.
Stablecoins are useful when traditional payment rails fail.
**Crypto is useful when Moscow wants financial sovereignty from Washington.**
**But when citizens want monetary sovereignty from Moscow?**
Suddenly, limits appear.
That is the paradox.
Governments love Bitcoin when it weakens **someone else’s** financial control.
They become much less comfortable when it weakens **their own**.
And Bitcoin doesn’t care.
No nationality. No investor classification. No central bank. No annual purchase limit written into the protocol.
Russia can regulate the gateways.
It cannot rewrite Bitcoin.
**Russia wants Bitcoin’s power without Bitcoin’s freedom.**
That contradiction tells us where the real battle over money is heading.

2 were near tied on different days though, ETH & MATIC.

I released a public crypto microstructure dataset for liquidity-stress prediction. I'm looking for feedback on whether the features/labels are useful.
Check it out here: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/Goooddy/crypto-lob-stream](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Goooddy/crypto-lob-stream)
This dataset has 3 pairs: BTC/USDT, SOL/USDT and ETH/USDT. The exchange is Binance only.
I collect depth, trades and snapshot differences that can be reconstructed using a library i created on github. i dont know if posting that link will trigger another mod removal so check it out on the dataset README.md.
