ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I’m deeply disappointed with the current price. It is hard to justify ETH trading below $4k, let alone around $2k.
The past five years have also changed how I view the behavior of ETH investors. Too often, rallies above $4k have been treated like a game of musical chairs, followed by heavy selling and another round trip lower.
I can still be optimistic about Ethereum and ETH long term, but if the investor base keeps behaving this way, expectations have to be recalibrated accordingly.

Honestly I’d rather own both. VOO for the boring long game, ETH for the upside. Doesn’t have to be an either/or thing.

I did the math and if I just bought VOO instead of ETH I’d be 5 years closer to retirement. If I sell it will definitely go up.

I've said here before I'd exit around 1%. This is a combination of faff cost and risk. However the faff is a little bit variable - for example if my SSD drive broke I might exit at a slightly higher number, if I'd already started staking in that tax year and everything was running fine it might be a slightly lower number.
In addition to that I'm my head I have an economic fork risk premium. If there's an economic fork (2 coins and we argue about which one is ETH) it's bad to be staked because you have to pick a side and activity-leak out on the side you don't pick, whereas people who aren't staked get to keep both coins in full. The proposed issuance EIP would have a very strong chance of creating an economic fork, so I would exit as soon as I saw it was getting approved.

Fuck man I could have just went out of Krypto to buy tsla or even Rubrik but I decided to stick to BTC and ETH today

***Fidelity Adds Staking Payments To Ethereum ETF***
*Privately held asset manager Fidelity says it is adding quarterly staking payments to its leading Ethereum Fund ($FETH).*
*Fidelity is not only one of the first asset managers to offer staking payments to investors, but its FETH fund is one of the largest spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S.* 
*Fidelity's Ethereum Fund has $898 million U.S. in net assets and could stake as much as 100% of its Ethereum.* 
*However, Fidelity has not said how much of its Ethereum (CRYPTO: $ETH) will be staked. The fund will keep some ETH for redemptions, expenses, and other liquidity needs, said the firm.*

Yes, buy VOO at all time highs and sell ETH near multi-year lows as we are nearing the end of the 4 year cycle. Makes perfect sense.

Plenty of Unicorn start ups get massive valuations based on assumed monetization AFTER market share is achieved. At that stage, all Wall Street cares about is the company's ability to hyper scale. Profitability comes later and is almost seen as a given. Very few people apply this same standard to Ether the asset. When it becomes obvious that the future of the financial world will live on the block chain and that the Etherum blockchain dominates (perhaps on an order of magnitude) RWA tokenization - what the fuck do you think will happen to ETH? Tom Lee is a bit of a circus wrangler, but his ETH thesis is fundamentally correct. Patience is a virtue.

Very dated argument that doesn't apply to this market.
More like BTC and ETH are AOL before fiber came around.

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

I still have 10 ETH. But I'm I. The red on them
So I will just keep them if it hits $185 again I'm out.
All crypto is a Ponzi scheme in my opinion

Strong disagree on this. Staking hasn't saved ETH tbh. ETH is following Litecoin's trajectory from 2021 when it lost its #2 postition. Failure to breakout. Only thing PoS would do is cost it credibility.

VOO is my backbone along with gold and silver ETFs.
But ETH is just seperate for me.
Its definitely a gamble but that's the point

Hey so, if we get to 50% ETH staked with 0% issuance with the new EIP, we can then create a nice validator set cartel and sell the chain to the highest bidder.
We start the bid at 0.1 ETH per block, which is more than we get otherwise.
Yay, security!

1) send it from a CEX
2) Bridge ETH from L1 or another L2
3) Swap any asset to Base ETH on CoW swap, including other Base assets like Base USDC. I assume other exchanges work too, but it has to be one that's based on signatures rather than transactions, since those require ETH.

I've made my bed, I'm in ETH all in til I retire at 60 in 25 years.

ETH and BTC are unusable.
Keep arguing in support of broken tech though.
Move the goalposts again, because you don't like good forward thinking tech that actually solves the problems BTC and ETH pretend to.

Hey Freunde, ich hab letztes Jahr leider nicht nah am Allzeithoch verkauft. Ethereum skaliert massiv - aktuell werden kaum $ETH verbrannt, da die Transaktionskosten auf L1 massiv gesunken sind. Zudem fängt $ETH kein Wert an Zuwachs von L2‘s ab.
Ich spiele immer mehr mit dem Gedanken, ob Ethereum als Coin überhaupt noch eine gute Investition ist? Das wäre sie nur, wenn wirklich die gesamte Finanzwelt auf Ethereum aufbaut. Aber jetzt mal ehrlich - wie realistisch wird das sein?
Ich zweifel immer mehr daran, ob Ethereum als Coin eine gute Investition ist und ab wann auch Schluss sein wird, auch hinsichtlich ohne hin großen Marktkapitalisierung.
Ich denke beim nächsten Bull Run nahe dem Allzeithoch vom letzten Jahr bin ich raus, zumindest mit 80% meiner $ETH Bestände.
Was sagt ihr? Lohnt es sich noch Ethereum als Coin zu halten? Wenn ja, warum?

ETH was under $9 at the end of 2016 and any buy in 2016 represents a 20,000% return. S&P 500 since 2016 is 248% return.
That percentage return in the stock market over 9 years is the same as ETHs 4 month run from April to August 26.
Yeah you could have bought around 1500 at some point and never sold when it doubled and tripled numerous times. But if you trade it massive returns are still there.
