crypto Composite

I keep seeing people complain about BitMart withdrawals but honestly I’ve never had an issue. I’ve been using them for about 10 months and pulled out BTC, ETH and ADA without delay. makes me think some of the complaints might be user error or maybe issues with specific coins or networks.

Anddd my ETH short stop loss hit LMAO 🤌

Deep pockets cannot even spend XMR or ZEC without major slippage.
Deep pockets choose ETH & SOl for privacy.
They’re not going to nuke their profits.

THORChain’s usually the go-to if you want native BTC → ETH without touching a CEX; just compare rates/slippage first.

i think you're right about the retail/covid circumstances making "fun money" but wrong about ETH. The largest banks, brokerages, Fortune 500 companies are all building on it and have been quitely and steadily since last year. They /will/ use bridges, L2's, and utility chains but ultimately EVMs will win the landscape. So it's not going anywhere. I'm holding since 2020. DCA'ing over 6 years has my avergage below price. No worries. It'll be nothing, nothing, then suddlenly all at once. CLARITY will help, regardless of politics. If Warsh uses his new theory of how to calculate inflation and rationales lower interest rates with it, more juice. If debt spirals, printing is on the table and it runs because of liquidity. my $0.02.

Its the first real slowdown in the economy since 2015, when ETH first came around. But ah yes, the past always predicts the future, thats how markets work, right?

Well, one has to differentiate between different categories of alt coins.
1. Shit coins: they should never have had a market in the first place.
2. Meme coins: same as shit coins but with better marketing :-)
3. CEX coins: they are actually a very good vehicle to make money for CEX operations.
4. Stable coins: they have found their place in the market and are broadly used.
5. Valid projects (like ETH, ADA, to name a few): these are a viable alternative to BTC, offering more functionality with better decentralization Many successful applications won't be possible without those (like, e.g. stable coins).
6. Failed projects (like ICP, ATOM, VET): they just had either a bad design in the first place or could deliver on their promises.

Btc --> ETH --> Exchange tokens --> defi --> AI Agents.

eeping it stagnant around $2k-$3k. Best case? Mass institutional adoption pushes it well past $15k. I actually built a platform called AlphaSignal that uses Hidden Markov Models to track some of these institutional trends, and the data has been showing a strong baseline of institutional accumulation for ETH over the long term. called AlphaSignal that uses Hidden Markov Models to track some of these institutional trend

“It was always fun money for people” yeah maybe meme coins, retail is definitely not what is driving ETH/BTC up and down that volatile.
Supply shock and Clarity could drive it up in the short term, regardless the world is not going to wait for the US for digital regulation, other countries are already set so the US better hurry up, specially with this debt pile and a 🔥 $. You just have to connect dots at this point to see what infrastructure is build and what value it will carry.

bought ETH around $180 back when everyone was calling it vaporware and saying bitcoin would just absorb the whole market. my thesis was simple: developer commits were consistently higher than any other chain at the, time, and metrics like active addresses and transaction volume kept climbing even when price didn't. held through it dumping to around $90 and just reminded myself none of those underlying numbers had actually broken down.

Appreciate the insight, but at this stage, ETH has the least amount of supply in history. Also, the amount of retirees, and anyone else who wants to purchase crypto from their stock or retirement accounts are at the beginning. The public can purchase spot ETFs, or even crypto itself without having a wallet to manage. Companies like Fidelity and Blackrock, and soon to be E\*trade (Crypto) are allow people to buy at their own pace.
ETH will sky rocket because of people who have money, and not from the people who can barely afford rent.
I think ETH will be at its new all time high very soon. Then again and again in the next coming years.

Bottom for BTC @ 45,379$ & ETH @ 850$

Been in ETH since 2017. The doom and gloom posts with every drop get old after a while. ETH will climb back just like all the other times.

**TL;DR:**
The author previously bought and sold ETH, eventually exiting without loss after funds were tied up. Their main thesis is that a recession means people lack "fun money" for crypto investments. Value only increases with buying, but currently, no one is buying, and the recession is just starting. Therefore, the author questions how ETH's value can rise in the current economic climate.

I got into the crypto space back in 2017. There are only a handful that I would consider projects with a future. I do believe we are headed into a recession but ETH is one that will survive. The market will do what the market does. If you believe in the project itself, invest, otherwise bail. For me I had plan starting back when I first got into crypto and always said I’m holding all investments until 2030 and will reassess then.

My 2 cents on ETH price future

Alt coins as we know them were early...
People fell into the get rich now meme of them rather than understanding they were supposed to act as the stand in payment for data collection and provide use case for the holder.
Alt coins aren't "done" as in they will never matter again, bit the penny stock/.com bubble style use of them I think most have learned to see as a scam or extremely risky.
Groups like Chainlink, AAVE, and other "Bluechip" alts still exist and are real, and in time we will see other utility based tokens become more in demand if people start leaning into BTC and ETH down the line.
ETH is doing what oil learned it needed to do after the 1970s it needed to stabilize, get cheaper, and the engines that burn it, needed to get better.
It's not dead, but L2 hit ETH like the Japanese 4cyl hit the American V8 market lol.
The BTC wealth splintered, and we saw the fragility of hard backed systems paired with unlimited printing alt machiness...
I think as BTC get more holding, and the use of it increases, Defi options, though institutions will become more trusted and thus groups like AAVE and Chainlink will hold on, become parts of the actual system, then you'll see other "fintech" start up with Defi as the background from the start.
Alts as penny stocks are dead, but as AI data harvesting gets more intense I think we will see people start to demand ways to benefit from the scraping, that was the real goal, to give the user and creator a way of eliminating third-party platforms, the users data get skimmed the user gets tokens, tokens can be used to buy more of the service the more you use it the more tokens you get and if you have more than you need you could sell them off to people who needed more or wanted to get started.
It was "tokens" like a token at an arcade, or how people talk about AI tokens now... We were supposed to get those tokens, sure cash would be nice but cash wasn't available, and since people rejected the tokens the info is just scalped for free and we get nothing because web2 still reigns supreme.
We really needed AI to come about along with web3...
Now ai is going to be concentrated underneath ownership of web2... And that means we get to spread our cheeks until we force the change again.
Covid let us finally admit that it was worth trying ... People got greedy, lost their security and are afraid again, so we won't see that attempt until that shifts imo.

ETH Staking, and two setups, have questions about their risk (Ledger + Lido or Edge + Klin)

David sold his ETH stack and punk for ZEC. Ryan is taking a step back to let David lead the show. It is clear there is no conviction for Ethereum.
