Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

At the end of the day, all crypto carries risk. ETH may have strong fundamentals, but nothing is guaranteed that's why diversification and proper risk management still matter.

Love this, and agree.  
How many Lubins until we see this pan out and the market recognizes it in ETH price?

I think you're misconstruing my point here. I never said this place should be without criticism, particularly on price. I'm more exhausted by people who pounce on mutual statements, let alone optimistic or bullish statements, with endless negativity. These accounts that I'm talking about seem narrowly focused on this objective while having nothing to say about any of the positives. I mean no offense, but you used an example of how someone talking about how fundamentals are strong to support your claim that bullish statements get updated, when in fact that's not a subjective nor price-bullish statement. The fundamentals are stronger than ever, and we should be proud of where Ethereum's tech is. We can also separate that conversation from the price conversation. I don't think anyone here is happy with ETH's price or for foresaw being here years ago. So when you have the same accounts who are eager to inject negativity on relatively neutral statements and then block people for calling out how exhausting these comments end up day in day out, yeah I have a problem with how those actors affect the general outlook and what that potentially is doing to the overall space.
I think it's important to remember that when we don't like the direction a space is going, the answer shouldn't always be to leave, but to advocate for the kind of spaces we do want to see. It's important to talk about all aspects of Ethereum here, fundamentals and price, positives and negatives, but the hyper-focused unconstructive dwelling is not the kind of space I'm happy with.

U don't even have to check things like this. It's enough to just compare chart of any big diversified index to ETH's chart.

Tap tap tap. $1850 gonna fall at some point. Consolidation below resistance is bullish! It's good to see the market has finally figured out that Iran/US shenanigans are not worth paying attention to at this point. The world is figuring out how to just get on with shit now so the markets should recognise that.
Good post I read earlier from Joseph Lubin, some quotes below, full text here - https://x.com/ethereumJoseph/status/2076675527180419299
Aligns with what I think about the future of Ethereum pretty much.
> Some people outside the Ethereum ecosystem scoff at the idea of ETH as ultrasound money.
> Ethereum is building towards a future in which most economic activity is onchain, so has been focussed on massively growing modular scalability and ensuring that transaction fees are as small as possible, with the understanding that certain kinds of transaction fees, especially at Layer 1 will inevitably end up being expensive when Layer 1 becomes used mostly for high value activities and becomes deep infrastructure. As my colleague Joseph Chalom has pointed out, this is the same early-growth-over-near-term-profits strategy that has led to massive adoption by companies like Amazon.
> Many accept gold as sound money. Many also accept Bitcoin as sound digital money, given the idea that there will only ever be 21 million BTC issued and that BTC is currently disinflationary.
> As the Ethereum economy grows and accelerates, more and more ETH will be held tightly, staked, and consumed in everyday business activities. Increasingly Ethereum will become globally systemically important just as the internet and web technologies have. And ETH will become systemically important to hold and use for nation states, financial institutions, enterprises and individuals.
> In the near term, the Ethereum ecosystem will bounce back and forth for a while between its sound money state and its ultrasound money state. In Ethereum's sound money state it will act like Bitcoin with ETH serving as a disinflationary currency. In its ultrasound money state, ETH will be deflationary, a great characteristic for a collateral money to possess. Eventually the Ethereum ecosystem will remain in its ultra sound money state permanently as the amount of ETH burned in transactions will be larger than the amount of ETH issued to process transactions and secure the protocol. And since many transactions in the Ethereum economy will involve stablecoins in different forms including properly decentralized stablecoins, the numeraire and means of payment functions of money will be mostly handled by these stable value instruments.
> Central bank issued fiat money is often called high-powered money (aka the monetary base, or M0). M0 refers to the total amount of highly liquid currency issued by a country's central bank. This form of money is "high-powered" because it's the foundation of the broader money supply created through the banking system's credit creation mechanisms.
> I like to think of Ethereum as the highest powered money on the planet.

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

Maybe the reason the majority of price related comments are particularly positive is because ETH missed an entire cycle and is $1800 at a .028 ratio. Lol, like what do you want? Blind hopium?
And even despite this you STILL get tons of positive price comments. Which is a good thing. It just can’t be the whole thing.

> It took two seconds to scroll down and see someone talking about the fundamentals never being better having 22 upvotes.
This statement isn't wrong. Fundamentals and price are two very different conversations.
The 8k comments are nearly always met with criticism.
> No reoccurring member of this sub WANTS to be negative.
Big disagree. Some people when they're down, especially down big on investments, will make it their daily mission to rain on anyone who doesn't see the same.
> ETH has just failed to deliver on some crucial fronts for a long time
Going back to the difference of fundamentals vs price and how people often conflate the two, I'm pretty sure Ethereum has met or exceed its technical road map all along the way. We can agree that price is nowhere near ideal.

At this point, I expect people to celebrate ETH bleeding slowly instead of massive liquidation cascades every day.

> I have held ETH since 2017, so this is not FUD.
You've proven for months you can both hold and fud. I find a little suss that you and limpingdragondick have both interpreted a modestly positive take as a celebration, but it is exhausting how quickly (and often at the same time) the two of you will pounce on anyone who doesn't have a doomer take.

I agree. Holding since 2017.
Anyone who tells you that ETH is showing any kind of strength here is either an ICO whale that doesn't care because they get millions out of staking massive holdings anyway, or huffing pure copium.
For everyone else, ETH has pretty much been a miserable failure of an investment.
Could that change in the future? Sure. It can and it probably should. But that doesn't erase the current reality.

Holding steady would be if we were at $2-3k imo. At $1800, I say that ETH got a head start on dropping.

DCA + HODL
80% BTC
15% ETH
5% SOL

There is nothing to celebrate about ETH holding steady at these levels. If it crashes further, it will only make more people question why they have held the asset for so long.
I have held ETH since 2017, so this is not FUD. I am simply calling it as I see it. ETH should never have fallen this low in the first place. Investors repeatedly sold it down to a pathetic valuation.
Compared with their 2021 highs:
BTC: $62,000 vs. $68,500
BNB: $564 vs. $699
TRX: $0.326 vs. $0.117
If ETH had merely matched BTC’s performance since 2021, it would be around $4,390.
If it had matched BNB, it would be around $3,913.
If it had matched TRX, it would be around $13,514.
Holding steady near $1,766 is not strength. It is severe underperformance.

I recommend using the ETH/USDC trading pair if you are trading on Binance. Since USDC pairs offer zero fees for maker orders, it can be quite helpful for improving your grid trading performance.

Considering how much the international political situation has deteriorated again, the ETH price is holding relatively steady.

Sent 0.0833 ETH on Robinhood Chain to my Binance Base deposit address – any chance of recovery?

I currently have around $5k in crypto split between Binance and Bybit. Honestly, Bybit has been the absolute worst experience ever I'm done with them.

I am based in Peru (South America). I don't do any trading, leverage, or futures. I am a strict "Buy and Hold" user, and my only goal is to keep my portfolio (USDT, PAXG, ETH, and BTC) in Earn / Staking to generate passive income.

Can users from Peru fully register and verify accounts on Kraken? Is Kraken a good option for just using their "Earn" feature safely from South America, and how are the APY rates for those specific assets right now?
Also, do they actually offer any sign-up bonuses or deposit rewards for new users moving funds over?
Thanks for the help!

Since they are mentioned Eric Trump in the headline, let’s see what insight he has about ETH.
> ETH is pumping hard! Great to see!
> Crypto is the future…

If ETH truly followed the 4-year cycle, it should have printed a much higher ATH in 2025. Instead, it barely exceeded the 2021 high by about $50.
You cannot simply assume ETH will rise now because it rose four years ago. I am finally bearish because I have lost faith in other ETH holders. We have been jeeted too many times.
ETH has the potential to become the great store of value many of us want it to be, but that still depends on human conviction. So far, people have repeatedly failed to make that happen.
