Agreed. I'd rather see my current ETH/USDC split and how much I'm down compared to just holding, not just fees earned.

***Justin Sun sells most of his ETH and moves into US stocks*** *Justin Sun has quietly done something many crypto founders would never say out loud. He sold most of his Ethereum and bought US stocks.* *In a lengthy interview on October 17, 2026, the TRON founder said he had cut nearly 80-90% of his aggressive ETH positions. Most of that selling happened in the $3,600-$4,000 range. The proceeds went mainly into US equities, with a heavy tilt toward technology.* *Start with the Ethereum. Sun said he now holds just 20% of his original ETH as what he calls a base asset.* *He also said he has no plans to buy back what he sold.* *His framing explains the decision. Sun views ETH as an aggressive asset and Bitcoin as a foundational one.* *His Bitcoin holdings, by contrast, have not moved. Sun said his core BTC position remains unchanged and sits in cold wallets, which are offline storage setups disconnected from the internet.* *He tied that security choice to ongoing concerns about risks from quantum computing and AI algorithms.* *Then there are the stocks. NVIDIA is his main US equity position, which he has not reduced, owing to the chipmaker's prominence in AI.* *Sun also holds a substantial allocation to the Nasdaq 100, the index tracking 100 of the largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq exchange. He has no exposure to A-shares, the yuan-denominated stocks listed in mainland China.* *Sun owns a big slice of the Nasdaq 100, yet he described his outlook on it as slightly bearish.* *His concerns center on capital concentration and rising interest rates. Capital concentration refers to how much money is clustered in a small number of giant companies, which can make an index more fragile than its size suggests.* *Despite those worries, Sun has not taken any short positions. He holds a generally bearish stance on traditional assets but has chosen not to bet against them directly.* *Sun said he is optimistic about AI applications and Web3, but cautious about traditional hardware sectors.* *On-chain data indicated his overall holdings exceeded $2.25 billion prior to his public disclosures.* *That data also pointed to positions in Bitcoin and stETH. stETH is Lido's liquid staking token, which represents ETH that has been staked to help secure the Ethereum network while remaining tradable.* *His interview largely confirmed what blockchain watchers could already piece together. The portfolio has rotated away from aggressive Ethereum exposure and toward Bitcoin and selected US equities.* *The more useful read is about how Sun sorts risk. He has drawn a clear line between assets he considers foundational and those he considers aggressive, and he is sizing them accordingly.* *Bitcoin gets cold storage and no selling. Ethereum gets a reduced base position. US tech, especially AI-linked names, gets the fresh capital.* *Sun's case is notable because he is not a traditional fund manager. He is a crypto-native founder openly choosing Nasdaq exposure over a large chunk of ETH.* *What to watch next is whether Sun's on-chain activity matches his stated plan. He says he will not repurchase ETH, and public wallets make that promise easy to verify.* [https://www.tradingview.com/news/cryptobriefing:de39dbfeb094b:0-justin-sun-sells-most-of-his-eth-and-moves-into-us-stocks/](https://www.tradingview.com/news/cryptobriefing:de39dbfeb094b:0-justin-sun-sells-most-of-his-eth-and-moves-into-us-stocks/)

> The reason I keep saying that is to provide context. I think it matters to people that have only arrived here a few yeard ago to get an opinion from someone that has been around. I guess it makes sense you would have to say it a lot, because going over your posting history, it would seem you have indeed not been around for any particular amount of time. You've got like half a page of comments. Want to go over my posting history for comparison? People are rightly fed up with these type of whiny concerned posts we always see when the price isn't performing, from people who never ever post here, yet claim to have been part of this community for so long. >The entire point of my post is to gauge what people are thinking in here, and if my intutition to dump ETH at this point in my life is the right one. And honestly, this sub's responses does not give me any confidence Yeah nothing to elicit an honest discussion in good faith like initiating your post with "Crypto is the worst it's ever been. And all the examples of the actual successes doesn't count they are cultist talking points if you downvote me you're wrong".

I spoke about the applied math MSc as OP has said the alternative is a maths MSc in Europe, and App Math at ETH does land you a ton of interviews, have a few friends there who interviewed at almost every prop shop/Hedge Fund. Oxford Comput Fin costs 54k£ that s more than 5000 starbucks coffees for you to enjoy while purely laughing 😆

I think you are correct in the advantages, but there are also significant disadvantages. For one, physical gold and silver do not have an attack surface on their very existence, like cryptocurrencies do. The actual crypto software, the mining/validating nodes and even the encryption underpining that software, are subject to attacks. But also, no crypto can have the staying power of Gold, until enough time has passed, and I feel like 1, 2 or 3 generations is not enough to "trust" it like you would gold. This is why I think in order to crypto, like ETH, to get marketcaps similar to gold, or Nvdia, or Apple, is to have compelling enough uses that is becomes a core infrastructure in how society functions, and its relevancy becomes as evident as a GPU is evident today.

There are certain shops hm hm hm SQP and QRT with significant Paris presence and especially for SQP basically a French native shop. None of those universities are targets. Obviously French education is top notch and those universities are excellent thus some end up in the industry. But apart from this 2 firms they are definitely not target schools the same way Oxbridge and Imperial is or even ETH

This ETF is not a good option if you want direct exposure to BTC/ETH. This is the equivalent of wanting exposure to Gold, so you buy a jewelry company and a gold mining company… it would be better to simply buy an ETF that tracks the price of gold. And there isn’t anything wrong with the ETF you mentioned (I hold many of the companies included in it). It just doesn’t meet OPs requirements.

[https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL) What a beautiful long term downtrend! ETH trading just like every other shitcoin against BTC. None of what you said matters because ETH doesn't accrue any actual value from its usage, and ETH isn't money. This has literally be proven for years on end- as TVL and dapps and usage have grown, price of ETH has crashed. Thanks for playing!

> After all, why do people buy Bitcoin, gold, or silver? Primarily because they believe these assets will hold or increase their value. True - but why? Basically, group think meme value. People buy because they know other people (investment entities, governments etc) are buying, or probably will buy under various conditions. The asset or commodity is irrelevant. BTC rode an amazing wave of novelty and buzz, with 5 years head start, and unfortunately ETH is not really on the map for now. But I don't think marketing would change much - too much noise, tribalism and skepticism in the space. Awareness comes with longevity - IMO there is a more natural timescale to these things. Ethereum just has to stay relevant.

the masters in maths at saclay and Dauphine absolutely do not place well. PSL sure if you can get into ULM but other than that they are definitely not target masters Only El Karoui, Laure Elie to some extent. MVA is the new target master for quant research roles. France just doesn't have masters that place well, you basically need to have done either ENS Ulm or X. I think UK Masters and ETH Zurich place better

Thank you for taking the time to write that. Perhaps sometimes I fail to see that Ethereum and crypto mean different things to different people. I generally agree with you that ETH has to be valuable for Ethereum to succeed, however I do think that smart contracts are THE defining feature that makes Ethereum unlike Bitcoin, and where usecases are truly what matter in the longterm, since network utilization is crucial to network security, and the need to acquire ETH has to be more than just "a bigger fool". But I also imagined Ethereum would be an extension to the internet, and the "value layer" would run along side the "data layer", where everything done on the internet is facilicated by smart contracts. Perhaps I was naive.

Why is ETH not $100k yet

>Fast forward 10 years, and where are we? Yes, thwere will be people that post all of the links to the "adoption" of institutions tokenizing funds, or the billions locked in defi, or whatever cope we want to share. But the harsh reality is that it's been 10 years, and there's still no real use cases. There is ZERO compelling reason to ever use Ethereum other than remittances with stablecoins where tradfi is already catching up. Where are the billions of users we thought there would be? Speaking for myself, the only reason I got into crypto was as a hedge against the dollar's continued loss of purchasing power. Since 2017, that decline has been alarming. I actually started buying precious metals back in 2010 for the same reason, but missed the boat on Bitcoin. Around June 2017, I watched Bitcoin and Ethereum skyrocket in value. That's when I got into mining Ethereum. Why Ethereum? Nothing particularly sophisticated. I literally searched online for the most profitable cryptocurrency to mine, and Ethereum kept coming up. I loved computers, GPUs, and building hardware, so it was right up my alley. I wasn't interested in buying ASICs that could eventually become expensive paperweights. Ironically, my Ethereum mining rigs ended up becoming paperweights anyway! LOL! They're still sitting there switched off because I never got around to selling them. At least I could repurpose them into workstations. The power supplies are high quality, the GPUs could drive additional monitors, and some of the Nvidia cards could even be put to work running local LLMs like Llama. But here's the point. My use case for Ethereum, and practically every other cryptocurrency I acquired, was that I expected it to appreciate in value, just as Bitcoin had. I wanted an alternative store of wealth outside the dollar. Things went badly off the rails in 2018, recovered spectacularly in 2021, and looked very promising again. Yet here we are in 2026, and Ethereum's price performance has been pathetic. It has surrendered enormous valuation ground to Bitcoin, BNB, TRX, and others. I'm not convinced that more use cases alone will necessarily translate into a higher valuation for Ethereum. Ethereum needs to become a desirable asset to own, not merely a useful network to transact on. People need to believe that owning ETH will preserve or increase their purchasing power over time. After all, why do people buy Bitcoin, gold, or silver? Primarily because they believe these assets will hold or increase their value. And let's not forget that gold and silver went through decades of disappointing price performance themselves. Of course, this is all speculative. Nothing is guaranteed. For now, we've backed the wrong horse, at least relative to Bitcoin and several other assets. Time will tell whether that horse eventually wakes up and makes up the ground it has lost. What frustrates me most is that Ethereum has been marketed terribly as an investment asset. The technology, adoption, and ecosystem have received enormous attention, but the investment case for actually owning ETH has never been communicated nearly as effectively as Bitcoin's. And I still don't believe that problem has been fully addressed. You can build the most useful blockchain in the world, but if investors see no compelling reason to own its native asset, why should its valuation reflect that success?

\> Is there an ETF I can buy that will track bitcoin and ETH?  you actually do not need crypto account to buy such ETF ...

IBIT and ETHA are the most popular and liquid pure bitcoin, etherium ETFs. I don't know if there's an ETF that just holds BTC and ETH without other coins. I prefer buying the actual coins over the ETFs but I hold both as I can't buy actual coins in my retirement accounts. FYI, the fees are quite high on Schwab to buy crypto vs. Kraken and Coinbase.

ETH Zurich

I just opened a crypto account on Schwab Is there an ETF I can buy that will track bitcoin and ETH? Or should I just buy the coins directly?  Any other suggestion on what to buy in the crypto account.  Looking to have 5% of my profile in crypto that tracks bitcoin and ETH. Thanks

It gets ugly fast. Ran ETH's 2021 run through the LP math with our daily closes, $729 on 1 Jan to $4,808 on 8 Nov: a full-range 50/50 position ends about 32% behind just holding, before fees. A range 20% either side of $729 was all USDC by 3 Jan and finished at about 1.04x its starting value, against 3.5x for holding the same tokens. Even a wide $365 to $1,458 range was out by 2 Feb and ended near 1.2x, and none of them earn a cent of fees once price leaves the range.

Well if you want to invest in memecoins you can get the [pump.fun](http://pump.fun) app. And you can catch big multiples. But it's much more likely that you will lose money. But basically the state of crypto currently is that there is a "new bitcoin" or thousands every single day that can go from 5k market cap to 50M market cap. So if you buy in at 5k, you can get 100x returns. But again it's much more likely that you will lose money because it's not that easy to find the right coin. But if you're looking to invest long term, I personally would just buy VGT ETF as often as you can in an IRA or brokerage account and you'll get like 10-20% annually. The reason is that I think a lot of capital is going into memecoins and people aren't buying ETH, SOL, BTC, like they used to because it's kind of pointless when you can get like a 100x on a memecoin.

Exchanges are losing ETH fast!

>What is success to you? Delivering on Ethereum's roadmap. Making things come true that couldn't have existed 10 years ago, things that people weren't even sure could be done. Just because you're sad we're in a bear market and that ETH isn't as valuable as you had hoped, doesn't mean "crypto is the worst its ever been" or that Ethereum isn't a monumental success. >It's a far cry from what we thought it would be. Maybe that's on you. >I thought Ethereum would change the world, and it hasn't even made a dent. Ethereum is like 10 years old and is still under development. Still the network is worth 100s of billions during a bear market and there are 100s of billions worth of stablecoins and TVL. If you don't see this as a success then I think your idea of what constitutes a success is ridiculous.

BMNR at current mNAV of 0.89 seems to be a good deal. Unlessyou think ETH (the asset) is going to fail then eventually mNAV recovery to at least 1.0 is a safe assumption. If ETH drops, BMNR is unlikely to magnify the drop. But if ETH rises then BMNR will likely outperform. For a safer bet, long BMNR hedged by short ETH seems a smart play.

I’ve seen posts like this over the years. Back in 2022 when bitcoin began crashing and by 2023 it was sitting around 16k. I read that was the end, and some people gave technical reasons as to why it was the end. I actually think both BTC and ETH will perform well in the future. ETH ran up so fast and IMO has essentially been consolidating for the last few years.
