Why not keep ETH on chain and DCA spx6900?

Hey everyone, I’m 20 and recently started taking my Crypto portfolio a bit more seriously.
Right now it’s roughly:
45% BTC
25% ETH
15% SUI
10% ARB
5% other small positions
BTC and ETH are my core holdings. I’m more interested in the longer-term potential of coins like SUI and ARB, so I’m keeping those positions smaller.I know this might still be pretty aggressive for a beginner, especially with how volatile smaller coins can be. I’m not planning to trade every day either. The idea is to hold for several years and just check the overall market on BYDFi occasionally.Being 20 gives me plenty of time to deal with volatility, but I also don’t want to use “I’m young” as an excuse to underestimate the risk.If you were starting out in Crypto at 20, Would you change anything about this allocation?

Fair, though it cuts both ways depending on what you mean.
Stablecoin supply growing is genuine fuel, that's capital sitting on the sidelines waiting to buy something. Supply shrinking is the opposite, people cashing out to fiat.
But the part that matters for a 4K target specifically is where that supply lives. Most stablecoin growth in the last two years went to chains that aren't Ethereum mainnet, so it can expand a lot without bidding up ETH itself. Fee revenue and burn stay flat, and ETH ends up a bystander to activity it used to capture.
Which one were you pointing at?

Algorand and Hedera really did feel promising a few years back, but the momentum just never came, and sticking with BTC and ETH as the core makes sense while treating Bittensor as a smaller AI-adjacent bet.

Lately, Ive mainly been using BYDFi. I didn’t have any big reason for choosing it at first. I just found it fairly convenient when I want to check the market, make a trade or occasionally look at futures.What matters most to me is keeping the whole process relatively simple. Usually I check BTC, ETH, and a few coins I’m watching first then decide whether it’s even worth trading that day.
When I do trade I still prefer spot most of the time. I’m much more careful with leverage now after getting burned by it before.One thing I have noticed is that an exchange mostly solves the trading and asset-management side. Actually using crypto for everyday spending can still involve another step. A lot of the time, you still end up converting it to fiat and moving it to a bank account or another payment method.So for me, crypto and everyday spending are still kind of separate things.Curious how everyone else handles this. Do you usually cash out through your exchange, or do you use another way to connect your crypto with everyday spending?

BTC -> ETH -> ICP
Internet Computer Protocol is the next big thing.

Mass idiotism is required for ETH to hit 4k.

I always hold the line of BTC/ETH/LINK

There is no guarantee ETH will be worth more in 5 years. It's currently down -27% from its price 5 years ago. The majority of my portfolio is in ETH. And I have been bullish about ETH since 2017. But ETH's PA the past 2 years have made me reconsider my bullishness. I misread the market completely all these years. Would love to be wrong again and ETH rocket up now that I am bearish ETH - lmao!

Best in the timeline of 2-5 years. From current levels I struggle to see the SP500 do another 100% return but I can see BTC doing that in that time frame. As someone with no overheads of mortgage and kids. You can afford to sacrifice that time of 2-5 years and not play with rent money to scrap up enough to take on a loan and put a solid deposit for a house if the stars align based on what I’m saying. If not it’s okay because stocks in no way can return more than 10-12% per annum so max you’re looking at is 50-60% return in an already inflated market
I don’t view gold as an investment. It’s an insurance policy of old money. I think 10% folio allocation is a must but not to make money but preserve your wealth. I think $3k USD if it ever comes is a solid buy zone.
Anyway I just want to see him be able to buy a house and I told him exactly what I would do in his shoes. Tbh with all my free disposable income I’m throwing it into BTC and even ETH. I see them having a future 5-10 years. All else is internet magic money that is worth dirt.

I've been buying ETH on its low. If it goes to ATH again I will be able to pay off my house :D

Two nights ago, I dreamed ETH had reached $5.8k. I was ecstatic - until I woke up and realized that was all it was: a dream.
A year or two ago, I had similar dreams, except ETH was rocketing past $15k toward $60–100k and beyond. Now even my subconscious celebrates $5.8k. Apparently, even my dreams have capitulated to reality.
I also now think there is a chance ZEC could reach $5k before ETH, largely because of perceived scarcity. Like it or not, with the “ultrasound money” narrative temporarily dead, people are once again treating ETH as though it has an unlimited supply.
On a per-coin basis, BTC currently commands roughly an 80x premium over ZEC. If ZEC reduced that premium to 10x, it would put ZEC at $8k with BTC at $80k. I never thought I would seriously contemplate ZEC reaching $5k before ETH, but here we are.
Then again, if even my ETH dreams have finally capitulated, perhaps the bottom really is in.

BTC and a little bit of ETH. Anything else is just gambling, just ask 99% of the altcoins holders here :)

comments here are kind of disgusting
i really think if going to look at alts in crypto, need to look at large caps that generate a lot of revenue, and importantly the revenue gets captured into the value of the token.
there really isn't many coins that fit this category, which makes things actually quite simple, yet people will twist themselves into intellectual pretzels coming up with reasons to bid vaporware instead.
HYPE, PUMP, LIT.

save yourself a lot of time and money and just deeply research these. otherwise you're better off with just BTC, ETH or SOL man.

my themes for the next few years:
\- stablecoins + tokenization + quantum proof + scaling = ETH will go to $8000+
\- saaspocalypse ends + AI boom + tech boom = FIG will go to $45 by EOY
\- chinese ecommerce + tech makes a comeback = PDD will go to $140 by mid Q1 2027

ICP and KAS!!
ICP has more unique capabilities than any other chain. Tamper proof web hosting, AI compatibility, chain fusion (interoperability), caffeine AI (making your own apps with AI), and no cloud engines, which are basically backup servers so countries don't have to rely on US based oligopolies like AWS and Google.
KAS has a much simpler/cleaner monetary thesis. It has BTC's fair launch and decentralization so you don't have to worry about a massive treasury dumping on retail. And it has robust POW security.
It also has the scalability and fees of a true next gen L1. Best of both worlds.
ICP is next gen ETH and KAS is next gen BTC!

It's not what I'm holding. I'm very high risk. But if someone asked me for advice, I'd recommend the following: BTC, ETH, XMR, DOGE

I’ve been trolling ETH for several years now, but I think it might actually make a comeback if the bull cycle well and truly resumes.

For hardline cryptography interests, I think ghostdag (and KAS) is still pretty interesting, and has little to do with Israeli government interests. ZCash is a known zero knowledge proof payment system used by government clients around the globe. With the global geopolitical situation being what it is, the run is easily and openly explainable.
Your inclusion of the KAS chart ignores the fact that entire alt market shares largely the same chart. The downturn is not an Israeli crypto problem (as much as you might understandably want it to be). The downturn is manifest in crypto traders chasing gains in super hot stocks and crypto gains built by American, European, and Asian regulations creating a framework for institutional inflows into only the top crypto projects (BTC, ETH, Asian exchange tokens, to a lesser extent XRP. )
The first meaningful reversal seems to be forming right now in the alt market following the liquidity crisis of Oct 2025. The timeline is not abnormal and was predicted openly back in 2025. 12 to 24 months. Seems to be on track for now.

Agreed, nobody should trade blind live. It's a drill, not a strategy: bar replay hides the right side of the chart, but the second you recognise "that's ETH last November" you're remembering, not reading. Hiding the ticker and dates takes that away and leaves only what the chart shows.
