ETH Reddit Mentions | ChartExchange

For context: the lessons here come both from helping other investors deploy capital into the markets and from personal experience deploying capital into LPs.

**1. Limit / Manage Impermanent loss**

As you know, Impermanent loss (IL) happens when the price of assets in a liquidity pool diverge.

I stick to blue chips (ETH, BTC) because....
1. They move slower
2. They have deep liquidity
3. They tend to mean-revert

Alt/alt pairs are highly volatile, one side often risks going to zero, and impermanent loss usually becomes 'permanent' quickly.

For example:
\- ETH may swing ±30–50% and recover
VS
\- Alts often do –70% and never recover

With blue chips, IL is easily manageable and often temporary.
**2. Stablecoin Pairing Anchors Volatility**

Pairing with a stablecoin does two important things:

1. It limits downside. One side always equals $1

2. Systematically sells strength. As ETH goes up, you sell some into USDC. As ETH goes down, you buy more ETH

With alt/alt pairs, both sides can dump simultaneously, making your entire portfolio much harder to manage.
**3. Blue Chips Have Survival Probability**

ETH and BTC...

1. Have network effects
2. Massive developer ecosystems
3. Institutional adoption
4. Liquidity across every chain and DEX

Where as most alts:

1. Are more narratives, not infrastructure
2. Have shorter life cycles
3. Are farm tokens designed to extract liquidity

Yield farming is aWhereasbout staying in the game, not hitting one lucky APY screenshot.
**4. Yield Is Secondary to Asset Quality**

High APY usually means:

1. Low liquidity
2. Inflationary reward tokens
3. Smart contract risk
4. Exit liquidity risk

ETH/BTC + stablecoin pools:

1. 'Lower APY' (still run circles around wallstreet)
2. Higher capital efficiency
3. Real volume-based fees
4. Sustainable over long timeframes

Over a longer time frame, lower APY + better assets wins every single time.
**5. Downside Protection in Bear Markets**

When markets crash:

Alt pairs → both sides down 70–90%
VS
ETH/BTC + stable → one side holds value

This allows you to:

\- Rebalance
\- Rotate
\- Buy bottoms
\- Survive long enough to compound
**6. And finally (but most importantly), they'll give you a Psychological Edge**

Blue chip farming equals less chart-watching, fewer panic exits, and easier to hold and manage through volatility

Consistency > excitement. Chasing dopamine is for amateurs.

KEEP IT SIMPLE. KEEP IT BORING.

Over and out.
