The man has staked his entire reputation on the ETH fund. Even the bonus is ETH-demominated. So he is heavily invested in ETH, and his fortunes are tied to it.

Wasn’t there a way with ETH addresses you could make your own I forgot it was a long time ago where you could seed it or something

ETH every time. We’ll see how this pans out 10 years from now. #macrovsmicro

I can't quite tell if you are serious... You say you want to "change people's lives". However, ETH has done basically nothing but yo-yo since 2021.
I haven't lost anything on crypto as i have no money in that casino - but i've come close to a fire # by investing diligently elsewhere during that time. Meanwhile I have watched people I care about chase this rabbit and do themselves great harm. I remember selling lotto tickets to homeless folks when i was a kid working at a gas station... It feels eerily similar.
While I do acknowledge there was a run up for a few years there that was spectacular. You could say the same thing for netflix, google, amazon, nvidia, etc...Unlike ETH though - those companies have massive yearly revenue and send checks out yearly. I do loathe those companies but their value is not up for much debate.
In the end, It's not FUD i want to spread. I don't want to mess up your Christmas here. Instead, I'm interested in breaking down the illusion that crypto is investing. Like you, I simply want people to find success. Though a success that doesn't require a greater fool to hold the bag ideally.

lol the ETH play this cycle was being an insider in BMNR and getting out after the pump

If you try to do everything, you will end up doing nothing. Naive diversification leads to diworsification. Consider spending some time in our Wiki!

Pretty accurate representation of Dogecoin compared to ETH and BTC lol.

Top 10 doesn't mean very much in crypto. It changes a lot.
Peak this cycle [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20251005/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20251005/)
Peak 2021 cycle [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20211114/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20211114/)
Peak 2017-8 cycle [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180114/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180114/)
So which coins, excluding stablecoins, are in all three
BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA BTC is the only one with a big increase in fiat price. ETH was slightly above its 2021 peak in this cycles ATH. XRP was also up, but was way down in 2021 with the SEC case. ADA didn't match its 2021 peak.
SOL and BNB were in the last two cycles, but SOL didn't get anywhere close to the optimistic predictions expecting it to match ETH's growth between 2017 and 2021. BNB did well.
DOGE and TRON were sort of odd shots with DOGE roaring in 2021 and TRON reaching its ATH this cycle.
The other thing is its possible to buy former top 10 coins when they're massively depressed in the bear market and hope to take profits, even if they don't reach previous ATHs.

Attached is a comparison chart I came across for XELIS (launched 2024) alongside Monero, Zcash, Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin. It covers categories like privacy technology, smart contracts, block time, BlockDAG, PoW, deflation/burns, scalability, decentralization, no premine/VCs, max supply, confidentiality, zk-proofs, and anonymity.Key points from the chart:XELIS gets checks for native privacy (via zk-proofs and homomorphic encryption), smart contracts, BlockDAG structure, fast block times (~5s), GPU/CPU mining friendliness, deflationary burns, no premine, max supply cap, native confidential tokens, and "privacy with transparency."
It marks itself as not fully anonymous (addresses are public), unlike Monero (full anonymity) or Zcash (optional strong privacy).
Competitors get reds in areas like privacy (ETH/Solana/BTC), smart contracts (Monero/Zcash/BTC), scalability (most except Solana), etc.

This appears to be from the XELIS project or community (based on similar charts shared in their channels/docs). XELIS is a PoW BlockDAG L1 with homomorphic encryption for hiding amounts/balances (but public addresses), native smart contracts in their language, and a focus on confidentiality + programmability.Current status (as of early 2026): Small market cap (~$3-4M range from recent data), young mainnet, low trading volume, but ongoing development (e.g., DEX features, confidential tokens).Curious what people make of it:Does the privacy model (confidentiality without full sender/receiver hiding) hold value compared to Monero's default anonymity or Zcash's shielded option?
How realistic are the scalability/BlockDAG advantages at current network size?
Any red flags with the young chain, or does the feature combo (privacy + L1 contracts + PoW decentralization) address real gaps?
How does it compare in practice to layering privacy on other chains?

Open to all perspectives—technical breakdowns, experiences mining/using it, critiques of the chart's framing, or why other coins might still be preferable. Chart for reference.

If ethereum becomes the settlement layer for the global financial system, and ETH is the required “price to pay” to use it - demand goes up. And with the amount of ETH staked, and being burned, supply decreases. Those two together make me bullish on the price of ETH.
But you’re absolutely right… you could make a case that the tech continues to get so much more efficient, that gas fees are so damn low, that even all the extra activity really doesn’t create much of a diff in demand. That’s absolutely possible. I just don’t think it will be that efficient, especially in the early days of adoption, and price will go up.
Could be wrong, but I hope I’m right. But, for the record, I haven’t gone all in on ETH…. My bet sizing is between 5-10% of my total investable assets at any given time. Nothing more than that

Holding ETH is all I needed to know that you’re clueless on what it is you’re buying. No wonder you’re disappointed 

That’s fair - you gotta do what makes sense for your financial situation. For me, ETH has always just been more of a moon shot. 5-10% of my portfolio. So it honestly doesn’t hurt bad to watch it move like this, especially since I know it can rebound just as fast.

ETH is dead. I have held since 2017. I have 818 ETH. That shit keeps getting worthless and worthless and everyone here is shilling and giving skeptics a lot to say. But the reality is that ignore price action. Forget the fact that it can't even hold 3k. The reality is that all the promises ETH made when it released its whitepaper were full of shit. Everything that had me excited about ETH in 2017 when I first invested, have not materialized. And they keep pushing the next upgrades that fail to deliver real use cases. ETH is now over 10 years old. Use cases are very limited if there is any at all. The only thing you can realistically do with ETH is trade it or stake it for more ETH. So the idea that this could revolutionize the world is long dead.

Now, crypto may exist for a long time. It can be traded for eternity who knows. Many dead projects exist and linger around. Even Vitalik supported OMG Omisego and that shit died a long time ago. It's down 6% today so that means someone is still trading it. That doesn't change the fact that it's dead.

I feel mentally trapped. Honestly, I recognize that it is incoherent to hold my current position. I want out but I want a last rally because I rationalize that after it has performed so poorly it has to bounce back. I already unstaked my 25 validators which I recognize as a sign of the end of my run. But I haven't been able to pull the trigger and liquidate my position. I'm not slightly under 2M. Which after taxes becomes less than multimillionaire. And the situation keeps deteriorating.

If you believe in the 4 year cycle this is a crash year. If you believe the Fed rates will make or break the market, the only relief comes after the summer when Trump replaces Jerome Powell with his stooge and we get lower interest rates in the second half of the year. That is purely macro which is now also shit. On the other hand, congress could pass Clarity Act and make it a law but it is also an election year.

From the macro perspective things are shit. From the adoption perspective things are shit too. Will it go up down or just crab to the right? I don't know. But I already have one foot on the door. Personally, I just need to bring the other foot and I'll be out and never look back. I can't tell anyone what to do. That's how I see it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Looks like they delisted the ETH/ETC pair.

ETH Ratio drops back to 0.031

Tough loss, crypto dip can be brutal. No one can predict exactly when ETH will stop falling. Key lessons is avoid over leveraging, set stop losses and never chase dips too aggressively. Sometimes the safest move is to step back, reassess and protect your capital.

None of this has anything to do with ETH the asset or Ethereum the network. It has everything to do with the world economy encumbered by tariffs. Specifically the implosion of the US economy at the hands of absolute bird brains advising an absolute fool.
