Anonymity is probably not realistic starting out. Most centralized exchanges (which is where most beginners should start) require KYC, so your identity gets attached from day one. Even staying fully non-custodial, taxes will eventually link your identity to your holdings once you file.
For building wealth, there are basically two ways: hold or trade.
Holding means buying BTC and/or ETH and sitting on it for years, while trading is a real skill on its own, similar to day trading stocks, and it takes real time and losses to get good at. It's basically a full-time job, not a shortcut. And unlike other skills that can make you money, trading requires you to be emotionally resilient, the lack of which is how 90% of traders lose money.
I would personally recommend you to start by learning how blockchains work, how BTC and ETH differ, and how wallets work (custodial vs non-custodial). Then slowly dip in with a small BTC buy and expand from there as you learn more.
As your portfolio spreads across chains, platforms, and coins, having a portfolio tracker like DeBank or Chain Glance for DeFi tracking and Koinly or Bitcoin.Tax for the tax side will save you a lot of headache.

50% of my portfolio is in ETH... i'm up 50% on my position. I'M THE GOAT STOP PLAYIN

I don’t think the money flows evenly across crypto. If CLARITY passes, I’d expect the first institutional money to favour assets with the clearest regulatory status, deep liquidity and existing institutional infrastructure so Bitcoin first, then probably established large caps such as ETH and XRP. After that, the bigger long-term beneficiaries could actually be the infrastructure: regulated exchanges, custody, stablecoins, tokenisation and networks that institutions can realistically build on. Smaller DeFi and speculative alts may rally on sentiment, but regulatory clarity doesn’t suddenly make every token institutionally investable.
So for me: BTC first → regulated large caps → institutional infrastructure/tokenisation → broader alt market later.

The issue is if you don’t have that perfect storm, you’ll spend a lot on marketing, listings, dexscreener updates and wind up losing money, it also requires a lot of liquidity to make a coin successful, you can’t just launch a coin and hope random people join and decide to stick around, they expect news every day, they want mad rapes and other callers, mad rapes only works with people he knows, in other words he only works with known scammers, he won’t call for a random coin unless it’s doing well and then he wants 11 SOL for a call, Kobe wants 2-3 ETH for a call and for ongoing support he also wants 1% supply

Hello, am in a similar surplus situation as you
1. Stocks US
2. Cash on Hand (t-bills, preferreds, 10Y bond for very small portion)
3. Physical gold bars
4. BTC/ETH
5. Solar if you can invest once in a house, 25-32% IRR
6. More Real estate - land not condo if it can be less than 10% of your net worth (no pressure for asset productivity)
7. Seems like you’re ready to invest in a kid 🤣 Ayan this will fix your surplus problem. Tuition, bigger condo, higher rent, more furniture, enjoy! Mababawi mo naman agad hahah.

🌍 Macro
Dovish Fed signals eased rate-hike expectations, with the implied probability of a 25bp September hike falling from \~63% to \~50%. The U.S. 10Y yield slipped toward 4.76% and the dollar weakened, while U.S. equities rallied broadly. BTC broke above $80K and briefly approached $82K, supported by more than $400M in short liquidations, with tonight’s U.S. jobs report now the key macro test.

🧠 Market Take
BTC has staged a sharp recovery from $77K as falling rate-hike expectations, softer yields and short covering combined to push price above $80K. Spot liquidity also improved, with U.S. BTC ETFs returning to \~$101M of net inflows and exchange stablecoin flows turning positive after 113 consecutive days of outflows.
However, the broader liquidity picture has not fully turned bullish yet. Stablecoin inflows have slowed, while ETH ETFs posted \~$48M in outflows after 12 consecutive days of inflows. Tonight’s nonfarm payrolls will be critical: further labor-market cooling could reinforce the rebound, while strong jobs and wage data could push yields higher again.
Key levels:
* Resistance: $82K–$83K
* Support: $80K, then $77K
* Trend: Short-term bullish rebound
Holding above $80K would strengthen the breakout structure, while a sustained break above $82K–$83K would provide stronger confirmation of continuation.

⚡ Quick Take
**BTC is back above $80K**, with softer rate expectations and aggressive short covering driving the breakout. The real test comes with tonight’s U.S. jobs data: another labor-market cooling signal could support continuation, while a hot print could quickly revive yield pressure.

So I've been slowly building out this database over time and it's gotten pretty big 279 million rows, about 17GB.
Daily prices on 8,000 stocks across US, China, India, and international markets, minute level FX and crypto data going back over a decade, futures, COT positioning data back to the 80s, and macro data for some countries going back to the 1850s (mostly useless that far back but it's there).
a small breakdown
|Data|Coverage|Range|
|:-|:-|:-|
|US stocks|353 tickers|1927–2026|
|China stocks|4,049 tickers|2000–2026|
|India stocks|3,036 tickers|1999–2026|
|Intl stocks|556 tickers|1986–2026|
|FX (majors)|6 pairs, 1-min|1971–2026|
|Crypto|BTC/ETH/SOL, 1-min|2012–2026|
|Futures|542 contracts|1959–2026|
|COT positioning|1,098 series|1986–2026|
|Macro|2,837 series|1854–2026|
I already went through and cleaned up the obvious stuff fixed split adjustments that were broken, checked for survivorship bias in the stock universe, killed some duplicate/junk data, that kind of thing.
Now I'm just sitting here with all this data and honestly running out of ideas on what to actually do with it. If you had this, what would you build first? Cross-market stuff, some kind of macro overlay, actually using the COT data for something real genuinely curious what people who do this seriously would go for.

Calm down. I lost 35 ETH in Celsius

I had made a post on Reddit a few months ago asking for investment advice, I am a complete beginner to most of this and, got some feedback on the post.
A comment said to reach out to him and we exchanged texts, he said to grab his discord. He told me about trust wallet and staking and how you can make decent money with crypto staking. He seemed cool and I was unaware and unsuspecting.
I opened up the wallet, everything seemed secure and legit with the app. I started staking my money and worked the whole summer and put most of my earnings into there, it was going well and I stupidly sent him some screenshots of my progress and kept him updated, he was friendly and gave me advice. There are some details I have left out probably but today, I was checking on my money it was looking good and my staking reward just arrived, it was 7:22, and at 7:23 I checked it and nothing was in the wallet. Transactions for all of my BTC , ETH, and SOL sent to some random address without me doing a thing.
Funny enough the guy said that his mom was in an accident today and I put the pieces together and figured out that I was scammed.
I don’t know why I am posting this probably for awareness, don’t be as stupid as me, I have no one to tell about this so I’m posting it on here, I’m absolutely gutted and I worked this whole summer for nothing, at least I know now to stay away from shit like this.
Thanks for reading

The way i see it you either DCA into majors - BTC ETH SOL - and look long term for slow gains
Or you take big risks on low caps and try to hit some parabolic runs - of course you only put small money into these type of coins
BTC shouldn’t feel any more risky than just buying index funds or metals tbh - we’re definitely at the point where institutional support is big enough that it’s not going away

Looks like $2500 is hard resistance for ETH. Looking forward to a pullback to retest $2k

Yeah but if ETH has a marketcap low enough for a nation to acquire and run 51% of the validators then wouldn’t they be able to attack the chain and mess with transactions?

You can always find some nut to predict this after the price rises a bit.
Being the "owner" of one measly ETH that I bought for the exact price it is now in Feb 2025, I'd welcome that.

There is no reason ETH has to be worth more because it secures more and more assets. You are asking a very fair question.
It may indirectly influence ETHs price by making it more in demand because of different platforms or tools built upon Ethereum due to all of its RWAs, but Ethereum securing $10T of assets doesn’t mean the market cap of ETH must equal $10T

*If* we're breaking out, then we'll experience cycles of upward momentum followed by draw downs. Over time, the times between peaks and troughs will shorten. Higher highs and lower lows each time. If BTC breaches its ATH, then we might actually be in a bull run.
Watch the market. Look for rising ETH/BTC. Be prepared to jump.

Horrible take imho, but I accept we can both be supportive of Ethereum and ETH having different views about it.

"There will eventually be a ratio everyone agrees on that if ETH secures X amount of money then its price should be Y"
Can anyone give a reasonable explanation for how this could be true? If it was it would be extremely bullish. But what force can make it true? Seems like causation is backwards, RWAs won't be issued if ethereum isn't neutral and secure enough. But if extra RWAs are issued why would it pull eth/usd up?
One iffy explanation could be if attackers can profit by attacking eth due to scale of value in defi systems/RWAs when eth cheaper than X then you can assume people will buy lower than that as it can be assumed attackers will buy up to that price floor otherwise. Bit like market lower than redemption price situation, is there a better explanation. Deserves/meme is plausible but needs to be paired with something hard too.

I like keeping the ETH I actually want to accumulate completely separate from the trading side. If the thesis is simply “ETH bounces from here,” Moon.com makes that very straightforward. Pick the direction and wager there while the actual ETH stack just stays where it is.

This is my same feeling it’s a passive top 5-7 mainly holding BTC/ETH/SOL and the couple others worth consideration, gets quarterly rebalance etc.
