If the ETH token started to capture more value, I could see that we could go up with adoption

Yeah, anyone buying ETH.

Ratio going up would be a good start, would be nice to see ETH get a "rotation into strength" trade for once. It used to happen at times back in early 2018, 2021 and 2022.

largest network after ETH in terms of nodes ... lets see how long solana VCs keep subsidizing validators who lose money

It could easily break at some point if continues like this: when stocks are up - slight dump, when stocks are down - heavy dump.
As for ETH, it is very much correlated with BTC, so it would also dump, maybe not as much and at least ratio coule improve. (It would be very bullish as usually ratio dumps at such times too)

Restaking got sold as the next foundational primitive — shared security for every new chain and AVS, secured by billions in restaked ETH. The TVL numbers back that up: EigenLayer alone carries well over $16B in deposits.
Here's what that number doesn't tell you: EIGEN's liquid market cap is $180M against a $430M FDV. That's not a typo. The TVL is real. The value capture isn't.
Why the gap exists: restaking TVL is mostly borrowed/staked ETH chasing points and yield — it's mercenary capital, not conviction in the token. It measures activity, not ownership. You can have $16B locked in a protocol and a token worth a rounding error of that, because the people providing the TVL aren't the people holding the token.
The developer data tells the same story from a different angle. Active devs across the data-availability/restaking category peaked in February 2025 and are down \~53% since — the build-out phase already happened, and the builders who showed up for the points farm have mostly left.
The structural risk on top of this: if Ethereum's own roadmap (cheaper native blob space, broader DA capacity) closes the cost gap that justified external DA/restaking in the first place, the whole "necessary infrastructure" argument weakens — not because the tech fails, but because the base layer absorbs the function.
None of this means restaking is dead. It means the TVL headline and the investable token are two different bets, and most of the discourse treats them as one.

I would not frame it as BTC versus ETH first. I would frame it as sizing.
If 50k going wrong would make you emotionally manage the position every day, it is too much at once. You can always scale in and still be long term. The goal is to survive your own nerves.

BTC and ETH are the top two best crypto currency to swap with each other

Yeah, would rather see the growth of decentralized stablecoins like BOLD. Whether or not this gets deployed on Ethereum or an L2 remains to be seen. Seems like the logical choice though as they can leverage so much work that has already been done by the Ethereum community. Ethereum reminds me so much of Linux in the early days, but this time we have a value capture mechanism in ETH.

PSA they're all dead ot dying. BTC and ETH are the only 2 that'll survive

Today BTC and ETH hits their all time low of the year

Apart from number go up, I'm struggling to take a view on the development and growth of stablecoins. So we get a bunch more permissioned stablecoin contracts owned by big finance and big tech, including CBDCs - even if they're deployed on Ethereum, which remains entirely unclear? Wow, great, can't wait for that dystopia /s. And regardless, all the "buzz" (such that it is) seems to be having zero effect on ETH price.

Do you mean the price of ETH will keep falling? That would be terrible for me.

BTCs biggest problem, along with ETH is the quantum threat... as with everything, new tech overlaps the old. QRL is one of those types of new takeovers. Quantum safe crypto.

How is it objectively the right call. Buying BTC right now, if you look at the previous cycle high as your exit price next bull run, is much worse tham buying ETH or LINK for example. The downside for alts might be bigger if you buy high, but the upside is also bigger if you buy low and don’t buy shitcoins.

Consensus, halving cycle, what btc is being used for, it's years in operation, first moverspeculative. Market cap, past performance, deflationary nature even if it is seculative its resilience to economic major downturns and crashes like ftx. It's clearly not a shitcoin. I this was XRP or ETH I couldn't say shit.

there is room in the market for one coin, long term. ok maybe two, but the second one would be a very, very distant second.
just look at gold/silver. there is very little demand for anything beyond those two, although for sure there's platinum and palladium and what not. and copper.
but with alts it was an endless supply of coins. good for short term memes and various pumps and dumps etc, but long term it is going to be only bitcoin. with a tiny bit of ETH maybe and that's it

> the odds were already stacked
ETH closed May 2026 at $2,004. So I guess the odds are indeed quite low for ETH to reach $2K today.

Hi everyone, I'm considering to swap a lot of my BTC to ETH, since I'm UK resident most exchanges are banned or its headache, so I decided to use a decentralized option.
From my digging i've found out thorchain is the best, but when i try to swap I instantly see \~3.5% slippage on the swap, willing to know if you guys countered the same issue, maybe i should wait or something or is there a cheaper way?
