Nice explanation. ETH killers such as ada, sol can no longer claim that they are killing eth. Since eth fee are quite cheap now. Its lucky that people like betting so much so that sol is still using by people through polymarket

Buying bitcoin in Canada in 2025? OpenSea’s multi-chain crypto trading platform is nice because you can trade wallet-to-wallet, no custodial delays, and the fee transparency is pretty solid. Supports ETH, Solana, Base chains too , covers a lot of ground.

I dont think it's too much. At most, you could save a couple hundred overall going with cheaper components. If you are staking 32 ETH you can splurge a little on the hardware.

it is my understanding you can... and it’s payable in ETH

>ETH is gonna hit $10k this time, I just know it

A couple of fays ago I bought 160$ worth of parts for my bike. I was short on cash but the seller said they accept BTC.
Lightning and other networks were not an option for the seller. 
I didn't mind it since the most expensive BTC network transaction I faced up until then was slightly under 2$, and I didn't have enough in other coins to cover the whole bill.
I did the transaction but ended up paying 15$ in BTC network fees.
At that moment I realized BTC transaction fees during network congestion are worse than online stores that use dynamic pricing during peak hours.
I ended up paying the seller what was lost in BTC fees as ETH using ETH mainnet network. Arrived seconds later for fractions of a cent.
I still love BTC but I learned my lesson not to regularly do payments with it.

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

I mean there’s plausible small allocations too but I agree with the strategy. I have something like:
- 10% BTC
- 25% ETH (2.5% APY blended stETH/rETH)
- 30% SOL (6% APY blended mSOL/jitoSOL)
- 10% DOT (11.11% APY vDOT)
- 5% ATOM (17.54% APY stATOM
- 20% S&P 500

Nothing fundamentally changed with solid assets like ETH, so I treat it as best opportunities. Buy lower, sell higher, get paid for it, farm gamma, keep some for a moonshot like Apr-Aug 2025 and be happy. )

If you want crypto to start booming again, convince me to finally getting around to shorting ETH with 2x leverage like I've been meaning to

4% is noise. That happens day to day and you can easily find that in the S&P for next to no risk. Wake me up after 40%.
I think they're comparing ETH to BTC cycle-to-cycle. ETH barely broke its all time high this cycle. If it just followed BTC and historical trends it'd have approached $10-15K, so lots still believe that to be closer to its 'fair value' ... especially considering ETH inflates only a few % the rate as BTC plus it has orders of magnitude more activity and value accural, which you'd think would interest investors but no.
ETH goes up 5% BTC goes up 20%.. BTC falls 5% ETH falls 20%. The charts never used to look like that given there's an over 5X difference in market cap between the two. ETH has been underperforming most alts even outside of the top10 lately.

**SHIPPING - PLEASE READ**: I double pack and double label each shipment. I will send you a picture of the receipt after drop off.
OPTION 1: **DEFAULT SHIPPING METHOD**: Registered mail with full insurance and tracking. Cost varies depending on value of package. If the package is lost, I will deal with USPS on the insurance and you will be reimbursed the full amount of your purchase plus up to $300 in market losses if spot is higher than spot listed in this ad, once received from the post office. Guarantee is good until marked "delivered" by the Post Office. Registered mail is slow - plan on about a week minimum to arrive but it's the most secure shipping method available. This does not cover theft once your package is delivered so if you have a problem with porch pirates I strongly suggest a PO Box or similar.
OPTION 2: **ALTERNATE SHIPPING**: Ground Advantage for $7 (up to 8oz) or Priority Mail (small) $12, Priority Mail (medium) $22. By choosing either of these you are opting out of the default shipping method/insurance and accept 100% responsibility for packages once scanned by the Post Office.

>Pretty sure staking rewards are considered income and should be taxed at the price when they are awarded
Yes, this is true, but when the value increases 3 mins after receiving the reward, you now have unrealized gains on this reward. For example, if you gain 1 X coin that's valued at $5, you'll be taxed as if it was income. But as soon as the $5 increases to $5.01, you now have unrealized gains.
Now do this what, 100 more times in the year if you're staking ETH? 365 times more if you have polkadot.
>Auditing or tracking this on the other hand. Seems like a fuckin nightmare.
100%
>Then all those small sums could have unrealized gains _or_ losses over the course of the financial year.
Will* not could. The probability of ending the year at exactly $0.00 profit is probably a probability of 0.00002% chance of happening.
>It would need some sort of AI system to figure it all out and would need some sort of way of determining if people own crypto, and whether it's staked or not.
Yeah, it would essentially make investing in crypto damn near impossible unless you're rich enough to make it someone else's problem.
>Think the purpose of the tax is focus on the people with meaningful amounts haha.
In theory, yes. But the IRS is usually more focused on taxing the middle and lower class than they are with the rich.

I didn't manage to perfectly time the top, but I took ETH profit in Dec. 2024 at 3896.

Yeah, I started with a Bitcoin-only app and then immediately needed ETH for something, so I ended up migrating. Now I just use Gem Wallet on my phone for BTC + a few alts. Still non-custodial, still a seed phrase, but I don’t have ten separate apps cluttering everything

Thinking about buying ETH? OpenSea supports ETH trading among other tokens right from your wallet. It’s nice not having to deal with account verifications or withdrawal delays. The ability to swap ETH with other assets across chains within OpenSea makes it practical for regular buyers.

50% S&P, 30% International, 20% Crypto (5% each BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP). Never memes. They're a joke.

Obviously someone with billions of ETH would shill it 24/7.

Call it cost of tuition, it’s a learning lesson. I lost a tremendous amount on one play and now have that printed out on my wall to remember not to do that again haha
It’s all risk/reward trade off. You are now in stables, which is lower risk, so expect a lower reward.
There is quite a bit to unpack from your post. Most importantly, that money is gone, you have exited the trade. Quit comparing to break even, and learn to approach your next trade with your current bankroll.
Second, quit lagging the trend. “Now in an obvious bear”, no, the writing has been on the wall since Nov 10 crash. In fact, you just sold and I’m literally going through and bidding on memes. US is about to cut rates, we’re likely going full risk-on by summer. But that’s just my view of the market. You decided to hold this long, don’t change up now. Cut early, or don’t cut at all, either way make a decision and stick with it.
Those are lessons, among others, that you need to bring in to 2026. Every trade you enter (even BTC or SOL), have an exit price (or decide to ride out every dip), and stick with it - don’t change your mind on emotion.
For your last question, the portfolio breakout depends on your risk tolerance. Again, lower risk = lower reward. If you are not mentally there for trading, maybe just stick with majors. (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc). If you want some risk, start walking down the line. Personally, I have something like this:
40% majors, 30% utility/infrastructure (like AAVE), 20% current meta plays (right now Privacy or AI, big caps only), 10% memes
I have stop losses set for everything except majors, which I will ride out.
