U have to learn to look at ETH gas prices and wait until gas fees go down before doing a transaction if sending on Eth network. L2 chains are the alternative and are much cheaper than sending on ETH network.

This hits different honestly. My ETH holding before was pure conviction, and it worked, but I know that was part luck. Taking notes on this one.

If they use stables to transact that's arguably bullish ETH because the majority of the stablecoin supply is on ethereum, which creates demand for ETH (gas fees). Subject to change obv.
BTC isn't used to transact by people, so hard to see why AI would use it. Doesn't scale for the level they likely need.
That said, BTC is still king, and now is a part of any diversified portfolio. Don't see why that would change once AI starts investing for itself or on behalf of others.
Thanks for reading

Invesco QQQ is the new generational wealth, just like BTC and ETH were generational wealth around August 2025.

This was a very refreshing and interesting read, thank you.
I've been in the crypto since 2016 but never on the inside so this was an interesting take. I've always kept BTC and ETH as my main portfolio and dabbled with the hypes with a small percentage of my holdings. I would have been better off financially just holding and DCA'ing than jumping in to ICOs, defi, NFTs and memecoins. But it was fun so I have no regrets.
I agree with you that AI will have to use blockchain to transact, it's inevitable. What worries me is that they just use Stablecoins because its easier, or worse, they create a new and better crypto currency to transact, like they have done with their own language, and BTC and ETH falls away.
Do you have any thoughts on this?

been trading for a couple years now and one thing that bugs me is the accumulation of tiny leftover balances — like 0.003 ETH here, a few cents of some alt i sold most of, that kind of thing. i've got accounts on a few places including bitmart, a couple mid-tier exchanges, and one bigger one, and across all of them i've got this weird graveyard of dust that's too small to trade and not worth the gas to move.
some platforms have a "convert to BNB" or similar function but it's not universal. curious what others actually do — do you just let it sit, is there a consolidation method i'm missing, or do you mentally write it off? also wondering if anyone's found exchanges that handle this better than others. would love to hear how you deal with it.

Let's pray together for:
2026: BTC 50k.......ETH 1k
2028: BTC 180k.....ETH 3.5k

Another AWS outage causing Coinbase to not work. This is why we need the BTC and ETH network more than ever.

Yup, those of us who waited for 2025 and something towards $10k ETH and $1k SOL didn't get it.

I didn’t think much about network fees when I first started using crypto casinos. Then I paid more in fees than I expected on a couple of transactions and it started adding up faster than I thought. It’s not complicated once you notice it, but it’s one of those things that’s easy to ignore at the start.

One of the first things I didn’t understand was who in fact pays the fee. When you deposit, you are the one covering the network cost to send funds. On withdrawals, sometimes the casino covers it, sometimes they pass it on, and sometimes it’s a flat fee regardless of the network. It’s not always obvious until you check the terms.

The network you use also makes a big difference. BTC can be anywhere from a few dollars to much higher depending on congestion. ETH can spike even more at times. On the other hand, something like USDT on Tron or LTC stays low and predictable. After a few transactions, that difference becomes noticeable.

Where it caught me off guard was with smaller balances. If a casino has a $50 minimum withdrawal and you’ve got above that, a fee can bring you below the threshold or leave you with less than expected. It doesn't seem like much until you run into it.

The biggest mistake I made early on was sending funds on the wrong network. Same token, different network and it doesn't go where you expect. In most cases, there’s no easy recovery from that, so now I double check before sending anything. Another thing I have adjusted is how often I withdraw. If a platform charges per withdrawal, doing multiple small ones ends up costing more than doing a big one.

These days, I stick with lower fee networks unless there’s a reason not to. Across different platforms, the main difference I’ve noticed isn't just the fee itself, it’s how it's explained. The clearer it is, the easier you understand what you’ll be charged and avoid nasty surprises in the long run.

BMNR are fucking around with investments in financial youtube influencers and other such nonsense, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
SBET seems to be basically a box with ETH in it, so it's a reasonable buy as long as you're paying less for the box than the value of the ETH in the box.

100% ETH, XRP is a corporate shitcoin

There's plenty reason to sell when the asset you hold is 30% below your average entry.
When he is holding $1,000 ETH, even with borrowed funds, do you think he's going to go "at least I have yield!!"

Dear ETH it would be nice if you held 2200

Wow. For someone who has dabbled in crypto from the early days, including losing the keys to 2x Btc 3x ETH, lol, this was a really fascinating catch up on everything she a look behind the scenes. Thank you very much!
I always believed crypto would be the future of how we exchange value, but my timetable was wrong. Looks like it will take longer than I expected. I wonder if I should just buy USDC and forget about it until needed...
Thanks again for such a great article.

The reality is that ETH is way overpriced. There is demand but the price got way to high and not going to improve from here

What does it really mean? ETH was 4963 and now struggling at 2300. Have you given thought that it was over priced for a long time. And still is ?
