ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I've been in crypto for over a decade and decided to buy ETH. It looks to me like people trade crypto on nothing more than emotion. Everyone is scared, so I buy. When everyone is prancing about acting like a crypto investment genius, I sell. Just be prepared to hold for 18-24 months 

Yes, it seems you have a config issue with mevboost and so aren't getting any. I was replying to the comment above about mev being low in general compared to pre-fusaka, where it was common to have 0.05-0.5 ETH mev

Fundstrat’s head of digital strategy, Sean Farrell, on Dec. 17th, 2025, predicted that the bottoming for BTC $60–65K and ETH $1.8–2.0K. You can join the action or wait until the ship passes you by.

You could phrase this more simply as "if everyone earning ETH gradually sells their ETH to BMNR then BMNR will end up with all the ETH" which will be true, but also there is absolutely no reason why it would happen. It's equally or more likely that BMNR will gradually sells their ETH to everyone else.

ETH quietly cooking while everyone is distracted by memecoins and BTC price action. 70M monthly transactions is insane usage. At some point the narrative will catch up to the actual utility metrics and people will wonder why they were sleeping on it.

Deposit ETH on Hyperliquid

Meme coins are traded on crypto exchanges by swapping ETH, SOL, or BNB for them, and they’re highly volatile because their value is driven mostly by hype.

The assumption is that at every point in time 30% is staked (outside BMNR), which in particular means not all staking rewards are staked (otherwise it would grow over 30% over time). That does happen, people sell rewards from their validators, ETFs distribute rewards as dividends, etc. BMNR stakes all rewards in the scenario.
It wasn't really meant to be plausible as written, but if you replace "BMNR" and "everyone except BMNR" with "two significant portions of ETH holders", I think it's pretty much what's going to happen.

When everyone sells ETH at 4k+ it will never be able to make new highs again in the future and the chart will be forever rekt. So sellers / swing traders are part of the problem.

Hello, is it just me or is everyone in the States finally ditching USDT? Since the GENIUS Act full implementation, keeping my main liquidity in Tether feels like playing a game of regulatory Russian roulette.
I get it Tether has the liquidity, but with Circle (USDC) being the ""Gold Standard"" for compliance and monthly audits now, I’d rather sleep at night.
The problem? Most CEXs still treat USDC like a second-class citizen. I was looking for a place that doesn't force me to swap back and forth between U and C just to trade.
Found that BYDFi crypto exchange actually has a dedicated USDC zone now. They’ve got around 50 spot pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) all traded directly against USDC. Even crazier, they launched USDC-margined perpetuals. Being able to settle my futures profits in USDC without the extra conversion tax is a low-key game changer for 2026.
Are you guys still sticking with USDT？

Solana is an **offtopic** scam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySjI_D0AgKc
Altcoins are offtopic here but I would avoid ethereum
Not every altcoin is a scam but if I were you I would just focus on education and Bitcoin until you learn more because that one is indeed a scam. no point to ethereum , its on a slow decline because its primary use case was launching pump and dump scam tokens and now solana can do that cheaper than ethereum because of higher gas prices. If solana ever becomes more popular than their fees will rise like eth and another altcoins will overtake solana
1) Vitalik and many others in the Ethereum space are known scammers. Vitalik is not an idiot thus he should have known better than pitch something as ridiculous as quantum mining to potential investors. This is a snake oil salesman pitching technical nonsense to the credulous.

2) ETH is an illegal security according to the Howey test with a premine of 72 million eths. They purposely misled investors by suggesting merely 12 million gifted premine ignoring the 60 million they sold. Misleading total supply graphs in their prospectus.
3) Vitalik and many other have been falsely representing Ethereum and misleading others over and over again. example - pitching turing completeness as the valuable aspect of ETh , now pivoting away from that and saying it was never about turing completeness but "rich statefulness"
4) Ethereum is a pointless project that will lead to no efficiency because there is no censorship risk in code execution. If a project has no hope of ever creating an efficiency(like bitcoin has found with regulatory arbitrage) than every company and project will ultimately fail in its ecosystem. Are you trying to suggest that someday in the future there will be censorship risk in code execution? If not than what purpose does Ethereum solve if it comes with a horrible tradeoff of an extremely large attack surface and huge scaling problems?
5) Advertising immutability and unstoppable contracts that were than immediately reversed with multiple hard forks.
6) For goodness sake the inflation distribution rate or final algo is not even defined and people are investing in this. This is insane and basically amounts to faith in vitalik and his team, while at the same time newbs are misled into believing eth is decentralized.
7) Ethereum has already failed to scale as expected and so they created a whole new blockchain instead of upgrading and following the difficulty bomb/ice age as they promised and lied about many times.
8) the fact that ethereum is switching over to staking rewards has serious tax implication in many countries where merely holding your eth unlike bitcoin being staked will expose you to taxes. Coinbase for example files 1099MISC for any staking over 600 usd a year to the IRS

Proof of stake as a whole is pointless, insecure, and will always trend to centralization
Proof of stake game theory insures that those with the most coins will continue to collect the most fees , thus creating a vicious cycle of centralization where they continue to accrue more coins with 0 effort unlike with Proof of work where a meritocracy exists of those trying to be more efficient and miners are forced to sell most of their coins
Ask yourself why metamask which is open source wallet was forced to ban certain people in certain countries recently while no open source bitcoin wallet needs to do that
Its because ethereum is so centralized only a few companies can afford to run a full archival node(infura) which is necessary for metamask functionality and governments can target these single companies unlike bitcoin full nodes.

Wiser to invest long term , stack those BTC , and use bitcoin to save money
If you do decide to day trade than at minimum consider that its easy to make it seem you are profiting in a bull market because the "tide is rising for all ships" in this ecosystem as new money rushes in but what you need to compare your gains to is what you would have gained with using the much safer and easier option of investing in Bitcoin longer term .
Thus you should
1) take the gross profits you made from trading
2) Subtract the tax exposure and transaction fees . Remember every trade from a BTC to altcoin, altcoin to altcoin(stablecoins are considered altcoins) , altcoin to fiat or btc is a taxable event thus a tax nightmare
3) Than with the remaining profit, see if this exceeds what you would have made by just investing in Bitcoin and waiting
4) If you are lucky enough to make a profit above investing in Bitcoin than you take this net profit and divide it by the amount of hours you spent trading and researching altcoins and looking at charts to come up with your hourly salary to see if it was time well spent
This also does not consider the risks of keeping coins on exchanges and using multicoin wallets that have a much bigger attack surface either.

Can we also stake ETH through ARB network? I haven't tried it yet

> If BMNR buys 5% of total ETH supply, keeps staking it all (including rewards) and the rest of the supply is always at 30% staked, in about 271 years they will control more than 2/3 of all staked ether.
This mathematics sounds suspect. 30% are staked. BMNR have 5%, or 1/6 of the total stake. Their return per ETH staked is the same as the other 5/6. How do they end up with 2/3 of ETH, while the people starting with 5x as much ETH end up with less than 1/3? Either somebody has done their maths wrong or there is some other, presumably very implausible, extra assumption in this that you're not telling us about.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of talk about dollar-cost averaging (DCA). As a total beginner, I'm mainly using the DCA bot on BYDFi to build my ETH position, just letting the system buy automatically at regular intervals.
To be honest, I'm kind of worried: could this type of passive strategy miss out on bigger opportunities in volatile markets? It seems there's not much strategy to DCA itself you either copy a popular setup or just pick a coin, allocate funds, and let it run. My experience so far is pretty basic; I've just got the bot running to observe how it operates.
Wanted to ask the more experienced folks here: for someone just starting out, are there any non-obvious setup tips or things I should watch out for with DCA bots? Any advice would be awesome.

Fun fact: If BMNR buys 5% of total ETH supply, keeps staking it all (including rewards) and the rest of the supply is always at 30% staked, in about 271 years they will control more than 2/3 of all staked ether.
This is a far-fetched scenario, but it shows how the current issuance model continuously centralizes ownership by transferring value from those who don't stake 100% of their ETH to those who do. If we don't change the issuance curve, in the very long term the staking ratio will approach 100%, simply because those who don't stake 100% will be dilluted to zero.

That’s the dream but the reality is that it’s not possible to achieve that with any one coin in present existence. BTC is the coin that makes the best SoV proposition so far but it’s a terrible medium of exchange and there isn’t any meaningful financial infrastructure resident on it’s blockchain. $DASH is IMO pretty well the best purchasing rail in crypto via InstaSend, has staking through CrowdNode but is a poor SoV. ETH has not made a convincing SoV argument yet, isn’t a great medium of exchange but practically all meaningful DeFi innovation occurs on Ethereum. Together, they form a triumvirat of financial sovereignty.  

I exchanged all my ETH for BTC today. It's pointless, because I've held ETH for three years and am now exactly where I was three years ago, while my BTC – which I bought at the same time back then – is still 100% higher than it was three years ago, despite the recent price drops.
From now on, BTC is the only option for me.
