Poolin peaked at around 20-25% of Bitcoin's total hashrate in 2020-2021, which made them genuinely systemically important to the network. Their collapse is a good case study in how brutal the mining business model actually is.
The fundamental problem: mining has near-fixed costs (energy contracts, hardware depreciation) but income that's directly proportional to BTC price × (your hashrate / total network hashrate). When BTC dropped 75% in 2022, the math flipped overnight. Hardware bought at peak prices in 2021 suddenly had a payback period of decades.
Poolin's specific failure point was their "Pool.io" earnings account — they were offering yield on miners' accumulated BTC balances, essentially acting like an unregulated bank. When liquidity dried up in August 2022, they suspended withdrawals. Many miners lost their earned BTC sitting in that account.
The pattern repeated across the industry: Core Scientific (filed December 2022), Compute North (filed September 2022), Argo Blockchain (near-miss), Greenidge Generation... The Ethereum Merge also hit GPU miners who were pooling on Poolin's ETH side.
Worth noting: the miners who survived were the ones with locked-in low-cost energy contracts (sub $0.04/kWh) and owned their hardware outright rather than leasing. North American miners with cheap hydro/wind power had a structural advantage that Chinese miners largely lost after the 2021 ban.

Here once again to defend the degen side of crypto and tell you all to check out/get excited about Fake World Assets. Most interesting thing I’ve seen onchain in literal years and it’s HAPPENING ON ETHEREUM. It has serious flywheel potential for ETH and all ETH backed assets. It could steal attention and influence from that soulless asshole Solana-shilling Ansem. It injects the powerful psychology of opening a pack of sports/Pokémon cards into the crypto world.
Go ask AI about it or search it on X and get behind it.

WTF I just tried to register a test ENS domain on Sepolia and apparently the new front-end doesn't support ETH any more?
Tried posting the link but Reddit automatically deleted it, they were way ahead of us in fucking hating ENS

Right now I am doing ETH & SOL, L2 so gas fees are low!

I don't want half of that junk. Is there a LTC-only ETF? Then I can just buy that and a BTC and a ETH one in the proportions I choose.

the existing comments are correct — this is a mainnet vs L2 network mismatch. a bit more context on why it happens:
when Coinbase asked "how do you want to send" with 3 options, those were different networks: Ethereum mainnet, Base (Coinbase's L2), and possibly another chain. Base is built on top of Ethereum but it's a separate network — funds on mainnet and funds on Base are not interchangeable directly.
your USDT and ETH currently sit on Ethereum mainnet. the recipient is expecting tokens on Base.
how to fix: bridge your USDT from Ethereum mainnet to Base. Coinbase has a native bridge in the app (look in assets menu for a bridge option) or use bridge.base.org. after bridging, your USDT will be on Base and usable there. gas fees on Base are dramatically lower than mainnet ($0.01 vs sometimes $5+) which is why many people want to use it.
going forward: always verify that sender and recipient are using the same network before sending.

the dismissive responses here aren't wrong per se — most altcoins underperform BTC over any meaningful timeframe. but "all alts are dead" misses the actual question, which is about approach, not whether it's possible.
what actually separates people who make money on alts from those who don't:
1. picking alts with real revenue — protocols that generate fees, have token buybacks/burns, and would survive a bear market because users actually need them (ETH, AAVE, UNI, etc) vs pure speculation plays
2. position sizing — keeping alts to 15-25% of portfolio max, so BTC/ETH carry the bulk and alt losses don't wipe gains
3. entry timing — alts tend to outperform BTC late in bull cycles when BTC dominance peaks and capital rotates. buying alts in sideways/bear market is where most people get burned.
4. setting profit targets in advance — alts are volatile by design, and people who made money typically had a "sell 50% at 2x" discipline rather than HODLing until it reversed.
none of this guarantees anything, but those are the actual variables that matter.

~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

for a $12k swap the 1.8% gap between quotes is actually pretty large for USDC/ETH - that pair has extremely deep liquidity.
most likely culprit: MEV/sandwich attacks. on a standard AMM without protection, a $12k swap is large enough to be profitable to front-run. you can lose 0.5-1.5% silently without knowing it happened.
what actually fixes this:
- CoW Protocol: uses batch auctions matching orders peer-to-peer first, remainder goes to AMMs. MEV is structurally impossible within the batch.
- 1inch Fusion+: gasless RFQ mode, market makers compete off-chain, you get the quoted price or better.
- defillama.com/swap: meta-aggregator that checks CoW/1inch/Paraswap/Odos simultaneously and shows the winner before you commit.
the $210 difference you saw was almost certainly MEV exposure on the first platform, not just a different routing path.

You are selecting ETH on base if I am seeing it correctly. But your usdt and Eth is on main St as you probably want it to be.
If you want to send on Base you might have to switch.
(Ignore any DMs you get offering to help. They are scams)

When you invest in crypto just consider that money is gone, like zero. Don't be investing and pull out after a year, bought and sold crypto since 2017, made decent money but I'd never hold anything as an."investments". Got lucky with ETH bought around 1k sold for 4k per coin, and I held it the longest, all.other coins were short term hold.

Maybe your problem is not the product but poor timing? If you want to stop losing money on blue chip tokens, such as ETH or BTC, then stop selling them when you are on minus. They will go back up! Maybe it will take some time but they will.
It's different story about pure meme lottery tickets. If the token has nothing but speculative value to provide and the community dies, or rogue team pulls the liquidity, then you should consider selling on minus. At least you get something, instead of getting zero.
If you want to take more risk and win big, I suggest to look for new project launches, do you own research and bet on new projects that provide value. Good luck!

50% BTC , 20% MSTR, 20% ETH , 10% wait for good entry on some Alt’s

TL;DR — Stablecoin dominance is a ratio. It rises either because fresh money is coming in (dry powder), or simply because the rest of the market is collapsing. The chart looks identical in both cases. Right now USDT.D sits at 8.5% while supply has been flat for months — that's the second case. And we've seen this signature before.
Disclosure: None of this is financial advice.
The problem with USDT.D
You see it constantly: "USDT.D bouncing off support → alt season incoming." The implicit reasoning is that rising dominance = capital waiting on the sidelines = fuel for the next leg up.
That can be true. It can also be completely wrong. The dominance chart alone can't tell you which.
The mechanics
: USDT.D = USDT market cap / total crypto market cap
It's a fraction. It rises in two opposite situations:
Case 1 — the numerator rises. New USDT gets minted. Fresh money enters and parks in stables. Real dry powder. Constructive.
Case 2 — the denominator falls. Supply doesn't move an inch, but BTC/ETH/alts get destroyed. Dominance rises mechanically, without a single new dollar arriving.
The chart goes up the same way in both cases. That's the whole problem.
How to tell them apart: absolute supply
Look at market cap in dollars, not percentage. On TradingView: CRYPTOCAP:USDT below USDT.D.
|Dominance|Absolute supply|Reading|
|:-|:-|:-|
|↑|↑|Genuine inflows. Capital waiting. Constructive|
|↑|flat or ↓|No new money. The market is just bleeding.|
|↓|stable or ↑|Capital deploying into risk. Risk-on signal.|
Only the first has predictive value. And it's visible only on the supply panel.

Top: USDT.D weekly. Bottom: USDT market cap (CRYPTOCAP:USDT). Boxes aligned on the same time windows.
What the chart shows
Today: USDT.D at 8.50% (+1.45% on the week). USDT supply at 183.99B, down roughly 30M week over week. Dominance is climbing while supply has been flat since early 2026, with slightly negative weeks.
Do the implicit math. If dominance rises sharply while the numerator stays fixed, the denominator — total crypto market cap — must be contracting. That's what this chart is saying, and it's invisible if you only look at the top panel.
2022-2023: same signature. Dominance peaks around 9.1%, and on the bottom panel you can see USDT supply contracting meaningfully over the same window (from \~83B down toward \~65-70B). That wasn't dry powder accumulating. That was the bear market: the market collapsing while money genuinely exited the ecosystem.
Today dominance sits at 8.5%, just below that peak, with the same absence of net inflows.
Limitations of this comparison (important)
I'd rather raise these myself than leave them for the comments:
1. The magnitudes aren't comparable. In 2022-2023 supply actually contracted, on the order of −20%. In 2026 it's a plateau with marginal weekly moves (−0.02%). What they share is the absence of net inflows, not the intensity. This is a growth stall, not a collapse.
2. Two occurrences aren't a statistic. I'm showing what this configuration looked like last time. I'm not claiming the outcome repeats.
3. The context changed. Spot ETFs didn't exist in 2022. Part of institutional capital no longer needs to route through stablecoins to get exposure — so this indicator captures TradFi flow less well than it used to. It mostly tells you what's happening inside crypto-native markets.
4. The levels aren't identical. \~9.1% in 2022 versus 8.5% today.
USDT ≠ USDC: the layer above
Aggregating all stablecoins throws away the most interesting information.
USDT — offshore-dominant, Asia, retail, non-US exchanges, perp markets. It's leverage collateral. Its supply reflects global speculative appetite.
USDC — regulated, US rails, DeFi, corporate treasuries, banking on/off-ramp. Its supply reflects institutional capital.
The divergences are the real signal:
USDC ↑, USDT flat → institutional money via US rails. Slower, generally more durable.
USDT ↑, USDC flat → offshore leverage and speculation. Faster, more fragile.
Both contracting → global deleveraging. Money leaving crypto.
One level deeper: supply by chain. Stables flowing onto one chain while global supply stagnates isn't new money — it's capital rotation. Invisible on an aggregate dominance chart. (Not available on TradingView; use DefiLlama.)
Other caveats worth knowing
Not every mint is new money. There's cross-chain rebalancing and treasury pre-positioning. Look at smoothed net mints, never the isolated event.
This is a slow indicator. Regime context, not entry timing. Don't build an intraday trade on it.
Correlation ≠ causation. Rising supply doesn't force anyone to buy. It indicates capacity, not intent.
What this actually changes
None of this gives you an entry. What it gives you is a regime filter: knowing whether you're trading in an environment where capital is genuinely available, or one where dominance is rising simply because everything around it is burning.
The two look alike on a chart. They don't have the same follow-through.
What I'm watching for a regime change: supply resuming its uptrend, not dominance falling. If USDT.D drops while supply keeps contracting, that's a false signal of exactly the kind described above.
Data: TradingView (USDT.D, CRYPTOCAP:USDT, CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL), DefiLlama for per-chain breakdown.
Do you track stablecoin supply in your process? Curious whether anyone here watches the per-chain split, and on what horizon you find it actionable.

yes, absolutely — and it's happened multiple times already. the mechanism depends on the stablecoin type:
**algorithmic (UST/Luna):** classic death spiral. redemption pressure drops the backing asset price, which reduces collateral value, which triggers more redemptions. UST lost $40B in 3 days because there was no real floor
**collateralized fiat-backed (USDC, USDT):** theoretically resistant if truly 1:1 backed, but USDC had a mini bank-run in March 2023 when $3.3B was stuck in Silicon Valley Bank. price dropped to $0.87 before Circle confirmed the funds were safe. people who panic-sold locked in real losses
**CDP / overcollateralized (DAI, LUSD, crvUSD):** more resistant because redemptions are handled by liquidating underwater collateral. the risk is a liquidation cascade during a fast market crash — if collateral drops faster than liquidators can act, bad debt accrues
the bank-run-resistant designs are the ones with immediate, trustless redemption mechanisms. LUSD lets you always redeem 1 LUSD for $1 of ETH directly from the protocol — that hard floor prevents the spiral because arbitrageurs step in at $0.99

AI is the new crypto. Alts are dead. Basically it’s only BTC and ETH.

I'm still blown away that after years of posts like these, people still believe this somehow magically means ETH should be a high price

Happy that i invested all my money in Ramen and not ETH
