Yes I agree. The fees are too low for ETH to make real revenue. Users of course want free fees. Good for them, bad for ETH. The more I learn about ETH , the more I regret buying it.

I genuinely think the L2’s are the reason ETH’s price continues to underperform. ETH actually has the potential to be used as every day money/currency. I doubt it will be though

PvP era was indeed more fun and skill-based — outsmarting others in farming, liquidations, or MEV felt rewarding.
But in 2026, a lot of people are just tired of the constant Ls from bots, volatility, and getting rugged. Most have shifted to passive strategies (staking, stable yields on Aave/Pendle, or just holding BTC/ETH).
PvP is still alive on perp DEXs and yield trading, but the crowd size is smaller because losing money repeatedly isn’t fun anymore. What was your favorite PvP play back then?

I used to tbink that shitcoins could be usefull aswell.
But these days i just want something scarce without counter party risk. And the far and beyond best in this area is just simple good ol bitcoin.
Maybe when transaction costs become too great something like litecoin or monero will have a place.
But everything with a company behind it or centralized infrastructure is just waiting to fail. I can never again view these as more than tech stocks. And if the ceo makes a dumb enough decision its done.
I am however perfectly fine to hold some sats and litecoin for 30 more years without any pressure to act. Any crypo depending on things can never be a good safehaven asset.
And I would want my p2p electronic cash to be based on something fundamentally indistructible aswell. Screw ETH and BNB.

legit names people rotate into are stuff like SOL, ETH L2s, and infrastructure coin

I get what you're saying, but your own experience kind of proves the opposite point.
You said you'd be better off if you had just held for 5 years — that’s not a failure of holding, that’s a failure of what you were holding.
The top 30 changes, sure. But that doesn’t mean long-term holding doesn’t work — it just means most projects don’t survive. That’s true in any industry.
BTC and ETH holders didn’t get lucky by jumping coin to coin. They picked strong narratives and stuck with them.
What usually kills performance in crypto isn’t holding — it’s:
\- chasing trends too late
\- rotating without an edge
\- or holding weak projects with no real demand
Your current strategy (keeping what you get paid in crypto) is basically passive accumulation — which is actually closer to a long-term hold strategy than you might think.
So I’d say it’s not “holding vs not holding” — it’s:
👉 holding quality vs holding noise
Big difference.

yeah this is where everyone in my circle started going down the rabbit hole too lol
usually people just check aggregators instead of hopping DEX to DEX manually. stuff that tracks pools across chains so you can actually see where volume/liquidity is instead of guessing. the problem is even when you find “good” liquidity, it’s often not on routes that start from ADA, which is kinda the core issue you’re hitting
for ETH L2s vs SOL, what i’ve seen is L2s tend to have deeper liquidity overall, but more fragmented. SOL is simpler but you’re kinda locked into its ecosystem once you’re there. most of my friends ended up choosing based on where they already had stuff or where their group was active tbh
also yeah, splitting into smaller chunks sucks but it’s basically what people do when they really want to avoid slippage. not fun, just less painful than nuking yourself on one bad swap 😅

Everybody already agreed that ETH is the base settlement layer of the next 10 decades.

I have paid 50 USD for a simple tx on mainnet. L2 revenue to ETH isn't great, but I would much rather have a functioning ecosystem. Without L2 Ethereum would be almost useless, and everyone would have moved to other, centralized L1's

BTC in 2017 or 2018 (not sure of the date) but i remember it being $650 a coin and I bought ETH instead with the thoughts of BTC is too expensive and ETH is cheaper. More recently would be Google seeing it at $50+ a share

ETH up 53%. Don't let sunk costs sink you.

Yup, you still have to babysit your cold wallets. There is always going to be some fork or something that will render your old crypto useless. I ran into this a lot with ETH tokens - it seemed like every 6 months they were forking and you needed to convert your tokens. Had a few that I forgot about that were past the date for conversion.

Same thing happened to me with trump nft. I bought one when they launched cos i figured if he got in some obsessed fan might pay alot for it. Then they swapped from opensea to magiceden or whatever it’s called, ao i had to relist it there. I tried several times but it wouldn’t go through. I was so frustrated on the last time, I forgot to change the sale from the default SOL to ETH or whatever it was. It sold immediately for hardly nothing. This was just before the election. He got in and as far as I know the price didn’t go up thankfully! It’s so dumb that there’s a default token in magiceden.

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

Where is that stated that ETH worth of billions has been stolen? I’m sure the team will keep evaluating the project so it will have better result later

I think everything is extra stinky, not just ETH.

Is this the beginning of a new bull run? Am I crazy to think we could see a huge pump in alt coins, specifically ETH?

ETH has been doing good in upwards price movement on daily candle charts. Even if it's stairs not an escalator.
