ETH has zero reasons to go up at the moment. Oil price, inflation and yields and general uncertainty are all way too high. And with the midterm elections in little over two weeks, why would Iran agree on anything before that and give Trump a political victory?

Etf flows are merely a symptom of demand. Narrative is the #1 driver in price! We need a way to measure the growing belief that ETH is the reserve asset of finance.

So I am made a noob mistake and ended up with BTC.b on the avalanche chain/network and cannot seem to find a way to swap it to anything at all. I am using the coinbase wallet. And if I try to sell what btc.b coins I have, it immediately says "Unsupported network, plsase swap on a different chain". Before I have even had a chance to select a desired coin. And the app defaults to USDC on the same avalanche network. I have tried selecting every BTC.B (what I am stuck with) to every combination in the list. ETH on Base. Solana. BTC on anything, XRP, CBXRP and more. I have tred sending my coins to another wallet, but they don't accept BTC.B. I obviously have not been keeping up with crypto and hop on the bandwagon from time to time and I guess this time I'm in over my head. This is the coin I am referring to. https://dexscreener.com/avalanche/0x152b9d0fdc40c096757f570a51e494bd4b943e50 Any advice would be appreciated!

Boros launched native spread markets for BTC and ETH funding rates to earn fixed or floating funding APR

It’s one ETH. Buy half or 1/4 now

If there’s one thing for which Russians are good, it’s grey economy.  Trade in crypto only will emerge for thuinvs that won’t touch the rouble. As far as the actual trading, if you understand crypto, you use XMR as the store of value, convert to BTC or ETH for transactions.  XMRs role is anonymity, value preservation, and plausible deniability.  Trade disconnected from you happens under a pseudonymous asset. Cheers!

Canonical bridge balances only count deposits into the lock contract, so idle ETH parked there inflates a chain's number even when nobody is actively bridging. Optimistic rollups add a 7 day withdrawal delay too, so outflows register about a week late and the locked figure stays puffed up for days after people already left

Hello again.. not bad advice. At present my big four are SCHD... AAPL ... VISA ... and probably too many CDs because I do not fully understand Bonds and they are paying better than 4.2 percent and are FDIC Insured. These total about 1.2M and then another 1M or so in what I call "silly stuff" such as BTC and ETH... and some mutual funds paying 14% which I purchased back before ETFs were available. I will take a serious look at SCHG.

I have a staking node with 2 TB disk space, running GETH and Lighthouse. Have been staking for years, but recently my free disk space went really low. So I did a fully resync, but after that it was 96% full, now I am back to 98%. I thought the idea of ETH was that the hardware requirements should stay about the same and there should not be a constant increase in DB size when staking? I don't really want to upgrade the machine as I currently have a very cheap VPS deal. Any advice?

So you think it's going to almost 0.75 Trillion market cap?  Like half of current BTC cap or 2x ETH? At market ATH every crypto combined didn't reach 4T. To put it into perspective ZEC after the rise is at 0.02 T and LTC is at about 0.005 T. If it went back to its cap ATH which is a bit above ZECs today it would be about 350$

I second this. Use different ETH pairs with other tokens that might ideally move directionally and don't mind owning in case of impermanent loss (UNI, LINK, AAVE, EtherFi.. ), along with USDC that can cap up your upside.

It's not a narrative, ETH is a reserve asset. Most trading pairs are paired with ETH. Most collateral is in ETH. ETH staking sets the standard for "risk-free" yield similar to bonds for USD.

It's a clickbait headline. it was a test, the seed phrase was deliberately left unsecured within the sandbox. They told the AI to complete a task that required ETH, but didn't give it ETH. So the only way to complete the task was by finding and using the seed phrase. They didn't tell the AI to do this, but they didn't tell it not to either.

I'm watching the live doots on YT (when the audio is working)... ...I'm sad to see it go because the doots had this feeling of "2017/wild west" crypto that is slowly dying. And because when I first started watching these, I though ETH would *easily* go to $150K.

I don't think that will happen unless there is a sustainable multi-percent burn per year. You have to convince those massive investment firms, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds with a narrative that they find compelling such as a sustainable multi-percent burn or demonstrate that ETH is a store of value.

I'd put the $25K in a brokerage account (Schwab, Fidelity, WeBull, Robinhood) and buy the corresponding ETF for either ETH or Solana. Or both. The ETF tickers are: ETHA, GSOL. Wait a day or two as the market is headed down this week. The advantage of buying ETFs is no crypto tax reporting, no wallet security issues, no transfer losses, etc. As the ETFs are 1:1, it's so much easier. Cons: no staking options, or SOL rewards, but also you dont need crypto tax software to track the pesky rewards.

Crypto is just beginning the bull market. We’re well before the price discovery phase, so it’s a good time to get positioned. I’ve mostly built positions in BTC, ETH, SOL, and XLINK since the bottom of the bear and now. Don’t put everything you have in crypto, but I definitely recommend building some positions now.

50% BTC 30% ETH 20% TAO

Yeah, I've been burned by this. What helped me: 1. Diff the bars, not the P&L. Pull the same contract and session from two sources, join on timestamp, and flag any bar where OHLC differs by more than a tick or volume is way off. The first mismatch usually explains the whole gap. 2. Check the boring stuff first: session template (RTH vs ETH), timezone, and whether you're on a single contract or a back-adjusted continuous series. Different roll rules alone can swing results a lot. 3. Scan for zero-volume bars, gaps, and single prints way outside the bar's range before every run. For a cheap second source on CME futures, Databento is pay-as-you-go per GB and new accounts get $125 in free credits, which covers a few contracts of 1-min or tick history easily.

Ethereum Active Addresses Down 50% From Peak - Time to Accumulate More ETH?

There are different types of risks. The unique aspect about ETH is it is native to the chain. It has no admin key, no court can manipulate it, etc. Usually lower risk correlates to lower rates hence the ETH staking rate is so low. This lower rate would also apply to it as a collateral though. Using ETH as collateral on the Ethereum blockchain should mean it has less risk of things like default or being hacked than other smart contracts like stablecoins backed by a US company subject to US court orders. That should translate to lower rates on what you borrow (though you may have to supply more due to the relative price volatility). This also translates to lower insurance costs on pools using ETH collateral or receiving staking yield. Ultimately risk affects yield, and yield is something institutions do care about. There's very little else that is special about the ETH asset other than by comparison to other L1s. It is less inflationary than other L1 tokens including BTC. It has more network affects amongst on-chain applications than other L1 tokens such as SOL. It has it's own inherent yield in staking which is treated as the risk-free rate in this local ecosystem. This is like how T-Bills are the risk-free rate in the US. That creates it's own little pocket of demand. Ultimately though there's no law of economics that says price must go up unless someone has to buy it, and lots of it. We had Tom Lee who bought 5% and we're nearly at the same price as before. So we need buyers of another 5% of the total supply to move the needle again. I don't see why Blackrock would want to do that. More credible would be something like a BRICS coalition adding ETH to a basket currency they use within their trading bloc. Maybe if BTC has a Q-day event and someone steals Satoshi's BTC then ETH would pick up monetary premium value when the dust settles but we'll be starting from like $100 again. The other buyer is for us to find whatever killer app it is that is going to drive blockspace demand up enough that we get something on the order of 2-3% burn a year and manage to maintain that even as we scale blockspace. Unless we can craft a compelling narrative for ETH it's just going to lose the investor mindshare war to applications on Ethereum and other emerging technology bets. Having been here too long now, this feels more and more like the final outcome.
