crypto Composite

I'm not talking specifically about ETH. He is scamming crypto "investors" through his family and business friends and him personally too (Trump Coin).
So please.

Are there NFTs that did useful things outside of photos that held up their value, and more importantly, are still being used today for the problem they solved? I’m genuinely interested. What NGTs are holding their value today?
As someone who has owned ETH exclusively, I’ve given up on the sales pitch I was given in 2019 that etherium would act as the currency of the micro transaction world. It seems dollars buying tokens have won that game. So ETH itself doesn’t seem to be living up to the hype I originally bought it for. Are NFTs any different?

Why is ETH better than any other alternative?

Same, let me know guys if there is any solution to move my ETH

Two small corrections and one agreement. It freezes USDC balances, not wallets: the addresses still control their ETH and every other token, they just cannot move USDC. And it is not a new switch, blacklist() has been in the FiatToken contract since 2018 and Circle documents it; the only thing this week showed is the operational side, a single list pushed to five deployments within two minutes.
Where I agree: anything built on top inherits it. A lending market that takes USDC as collateral, a vault that holds it, an LP position, all of them carry the issuer's permission model whether the protocol itself is permissionless or not. That is exactly why I think these events deserve to be watched rather than shrugged at. Whether that makes DeFi "a permissioned playground" depends on which assets you pick; the same week the same chains had thousands of upgrades on contracts nobody can freeze.

If you come from buy-and-hold stocks, don’t feel like you need to trade crypto constantly. A lot of people treat BTC and ETH as longer-term positions and keep smaller, riskier coins to a limited part of the portfolio. The main difference is crypto is far more volatile, so position size matters a lot.

> NFTs have zero use case.
You are conflating the entire category of 'NFTs' for just NFTs of pictures.
Almost all DEx liquidity positions are recorded as NFTs, the non-fungible token is a record of the type and amount of assets you deposited and the range you are going to provide liquidity over. Many billions of dollars worth of stablecoins and other assets are secured this way.
Ethereum Name Service is built on NFTs. These are the 'whoever.ETH' names that people use to designate accounts and avoid typing out the long alphanumeric address keys (0xaBcdD1234etcetcetc) when sending assets. These not only save time and effort, make managing multiple accounts much easier and act as a login for 'Sign-in with Ethereum' sites, they are also great for security as they avoid the risks from clipboard malware that changes pasted addresses.
We could go on but I'm sure you get the idea, there are plenty of uses of NFTs that aren't related to tradable profile pictures.

Maybe things will go up when September ends. So wake me up when ETH is over 4000

Just Farming USD and ETH as usual. Besides stable LPs and lending I’ve been looking at options based yield - prodigyfi and rysk i think can make sense if you have a view on the market.

BTC ETH XMR

mexc has been solid for this rally. ZEC volume there actually jumped to #3 right behind BTC and ETH, so liquidity is surprisingly deep. Plus 0 fees and up to 100x leverage if you're playing the squeeze/swings.

🌍 Macro
Energy risks have intensified again, with Brent crude back above $107 after attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and renewed incidents around the Strait of Hormuz. While August headline CPI was broadly in line with expectations, hotter core CPI and persistent energy pressure have pushed the market-implied odds of a 25bp Fed hike this week to around 85%. BTC slipped back below $77K after Friday’s rebound, while ETH fell toward $2.5K.

🧠 Market Take
The post-CPI rebound has failed to hold as weekend energy risks pushed markets back into defensive mode. BTC remains under pressure near $77K, but capital has not broadly exited crypto: last week’s BTC spot ETFs saw \~$463M in net outflows, while ETH ETFs attracted \~$197M, including \~$216M of ETH inflows on Friday alone.
This divergence suggests institutional positioning is shifting rather than simply leaving the market. On-chain activity also remains strong, particularly across Solana and active trading platforms, although stablecoin supply and cross-chain inflows remain subdued. Capital is increasingly rotating toward assets with clear trading activity, revenue or product catalysts.
Key levels:
* Resistance: $78K–$79K, then $80K–$82K
* Support: $76K, then $75K
* Trend: Defensive / range-bound
The FOMC on Thursday is the week’s main catalyst. A dovish signal could support a recovery toward $80K+, while persistent rate and energy pressure could expose the $75K area.
⸻
🔥 Hot Tokens
* LSK: Extreme volatility — surged from \~$0.20 to $2.37 before reversing, triggering \~$36M in short liquidations amid supply-change expectations and a short squeeze.
* RAY: Remains relatively strong as Solana Meme and Launchpad activity continues to feed into DEX infrastructure.
* STONK: -14% weekend pullback after setting a new high, but StonkFun trading revenue and buyback-and-burn activity remain elevated.
* EMBER: Maintained strong trading activity following its launch, although supply concentration concerns are increasing.
* CVC: +36% — One of several legacy altcoins seeing sharp rotation-driven gains, alongside STEEM, FIL and VTHO.

⚡ Quick Take
**BTC remains below $77K** as renewed energy risks and an \~85% probability of a Fed hike keep risk appetite fragile. The key week ahead is FOMC: $75K–$76K is the downside defense, while $80K–$82K remains the zone bulls need to reclaim for a meaningful recovery.

Buy Bmnr and hold till ETH hit $25,000. You be rich asf. While at the time do sell call and collect money. Big up

More stake is better. The higher the amount staked the greater the cost of a censorship attack. If we have to do social slashing we want to socially slash as much attacker stake as we possibly can, maximizing the value of the honest stake.
I know the people trying to cut issuance have come up with a theory that the chain is controlled by whoever controls the most ETH, so if the attackers have most of the ETH their no-longer-credibly-neutral chain will be the one people care about, but it's bollocks. Which chain is more valuable is decided by which one people want to use and own, not what the existing holders want.
There's a tradfi-connected network effect where a bunch of assets will only be on one chain but that's almost definitely decided by stablecoins and other RWA custodians not custodial ETH. If all the regulated financial institutions are against us we may well have a minority honest chain in any case, but it's still better if the honest ETH holders on the minority chain are less diluted on it.

respectfully that's a terrible idea and makes a special class in what would obstensibly be presented as a neutral decentralized financial network. I'd honestly consider selling out of ETH and just going back to pure stocks

PlebRock is a parody memecoin that just launched on the Pons launchpad on Robinhood Chain (Chain ID 4663).
The concept: BlackRock manages $10 trillion for institutions. PlebRock manages nothing for anyone — and is built by the plebs for the plebs.
Launch and tokenomics:
1,000,000,000 fixed supply, minted at launch, no team allocation
Fair launch on the Pons V2 bonding curve, paired against ETH
0% creator tax, buyback off — verified on-chain in the creation transaction
Launched atomically via launchAndBuy, so no sniper window between launch and first buy
Dev bought 0.1 ETH at launch (5.56% of supply) — fully transparent, no hidden side wallets
Anti-snipe tax decaying over the first 5 seconds; the first sniper already got rekt by it
At 4.2 ETH in the curve it graduates to a Uniswap v4 pool with permanently locked LP
Contract (Robinhood Chain): 0xfbF1A0ca8D7e4506F106493d70f8F49228173f16
Why I think it's early: Robinhood Chain is barely two months old, Pons is its main memecoin launchpad, and the biggest tokens on the chain (PONS, CASHCAT, Artificial Inu) all run zero creator tax — PlebRock matches that standard. Currently 2% of the way to graduation.

I lost all hope for “crypto” after dabbling in the ecosystem for awhile and realizing being in crypto is such a lifestyle, most people are just never going to dive in.
That being said, I will continue to stack BTC and I keep some ETH I don’t have strong conviction for but figure it’s will enough established, might as well have some exposure

Thanks Fortune! I currently have One app on ledger and I also have a ETH wallet on the same ledger. Will it airdrop my Eth wallet I have already? Or will I have to make a new one?
