What bias? The other top coins are literally more in the green.
TRX was ranked 25 five years ago and is now at 8. Some of these projects did not just survive - they moved up, gained market share, or improved their ratio against ETH.
Of the top ten coins I listed, I own seven. I acquired them 6 - 9 years ago because they were already major chains back then. These are not random cherry-picked microcaps.
And to be clear, I do not own DOT, UNI, BCH, LTC, or LINK. Those have performed worse than ETH, but that is not the yardstick I care about. The yardstick is the successful projects, because we all want ETH to be a winner.
Comparing ETH to dead or weaker performers might make ETH look better, but that does not solve the issue. ETH should be competing with the strongest assets in crypto, not finding comfort in the fact that some others did even worse.

ADA has always been a joke riding on his previous role at ETH. Polkadot with Gavin Wood going to 0 too

ETH hack tested proof?

I understand your survivorship bias point, but that is not the only valid way to look at it.
Your method asks: “How did the top coins from 5 years ago perform until now?” That is a valid historical analysis.
My post asks: “How has ETH performed over 5 years compared to major assets that still exist, are still highly ranked, and are still relevant today?” That is also a valid analysis.
And by that metric, ETH looks terrible. BTC, BNB, XRP, SOL, TRX, ZEC, and XMR are all green over 5 years, while ETH is substantially in the red. These are not random dead coins I cherry-picked. They existed 5 years ago and are still near the top today.
Yes, adding DOT, UNI, BCH, LTC, and LINK would create a different analysis. But it does not erase my point: ETH has massively underperformed several major crypto assets that survived the same market conditions and are still highly ranked.
For an asset with Ethereum’s importance, adoption, staking, developer base, and mindshare, that is a serious problem.

In my ROTH IRA, I have BTC, ETH, GSOL, GLNK. I have ETH call options bought at the absolute bottom of the most recent low. Those calls will print if ETH rockets off from here.
My micro cap moon bag has ANYONE Protocol and SPECTRE AI, both of which I bought close enough to the most recent lows.

Let's remind ourselves of the potential of Ethereum and ETH:

"ETH is cyberpunk money. Yes, cyBerpunk, with a 'b'. And cyberpunk is now."

I'm finding decent rates with soda exchange. https://sodax.com
Tested 10,000 USDC from ETH to Base and it was approximately $19 in swap fees.

Almost 4 million ETH is now locked in ETH2

**Quick Take**
* **What happened:** An Ethereum Foundation researcher proposed **"SPHINCS-"**, a modified version of the post-quantum signature scheme **SPHINCS+**, to help protect Ethereum accounts from future quantum-computing attacks.
* **Why it matters:** Quantum computers could eventually break the cryptography that secures Ethereum and Bitcoin wallets, allowing attackers to derive private keys from public keys.
* **The advantage:** SPHINCS- could be deployed **without a hard fork**, making quantum-resistant account protection available sooner and at a very low estimated cost (\~$0.07 per verification).
* **Long-term plan:** SPHINCS- is viewed as a temporary bridge to a more advanced future system called **leanSPHINCS**, which would further reduce costs.
* **Current threat level:** No quantum computer today is remotely capable of breaking Ethereum's or Bitcoin's cryptography at scale.
**Why it matters**
This is part of a growing industry effort to prepare for a future "Q-Day" scenario, where quantum computers become powerful enough to threaten current cryptographic systems.
The article notes:
* Researchers recently cracked a tiny **15-bit** elliptic-curve key using a quantum computer.
* Bitcoin uses **256-bit** keys, which remain astronomically harder to break.
* Estimates suggest roughly **30% of Bitcoin supply could be vulnerable** in a mature quantum-attack scenario because associated public keys are already exposed.
**For ETH holders**
* **Near term (0–10 years):** Little practical risk.
* **Medium term (10–20+ years):** Networks likely need quantum-resistant upgrades.
* **Good news:** Ethereum researchers are actively working on migration paths before the threat becomes real.
**Bottom line:**
This is **not a quantum emergency**. It's an encouraging sign that Ethereum developers are planning ahead. The proposal aims to provide a relatively cheap, deployable layer of protection now while the ecosystem works toward a more comprehensive post-quantum upgrade in the future.

You must be new, it's been dropping for 6 years (besides BTC and ETH)

The top 14 leaderboard has not changed that much over the past 5 years. I’ve been watching this closely since 2017. Most of these tokens were already near the top in 2021. Some positions have shifted, of course. ADA and Doge were higher back then, for example.
ETH is still number 2 because its dominance was much higher 5 years ago. Even after terrible price performance, it has managed to hold that spot, although Tether recently flipped it. And yes, I know Tether is a stablecoin, so that is not a perfect comparison.
I posted 10 projects from the current top 14 and left out stablecoins, plus HYPE, since it did not exist 5 years ago.
Of those top 10, I own 7. I acquired them 6 - 9 years ago because they were top chains back then. So I still don’t understand what your point is.
The 5-year chart shows that ETH has massively underperformed most of the other coins, with the exception of ADA and Doge.

ADA, ALGO, ATOM, DOT, ETH

Easy short on ETH here

Coinbase or Kraken sale to ETH side rebuy is safer than wrapped BTC bridges if you do not need tax lot preservation.

What do you mean? Those numbers reflect the past 5 years of value accrual.
Since I posted this, ETH is now around $1,720, which puts it down about 32.63% from where it was 5 years ago. Meanwhile, BTC is around $65,659, which puts it up about 62.82% over the same period.
That is the point. Over the past 5 years, BTC accrued value while ETH destroyed value for holders.

BMNR accumulated roughly 5% of the supply, the price is the lower than when they started, for every buyer there is a seller... it's not that complicated. Don't be angry at me stating fact, I have 99% of my nw in ETH

SOL & ETH. Just buy layer 1s since they are the infrastructure

BMNR. I'm down 70% and not worried about it at all. ETH and crypto in general have many upcoming catalysts that will cause it to roar back.BMNR holds 5M+ ETH (nearly 5% of total supply) and generates $280M/yr in staking revenue. Upcoming analysts include the CLARITY Act passage, the Glamsterdam hard fork mid-2026, and BlackRock's staking ETF. The price might drop a little more until the crypto winter ends in the fall, but once it does, it will be a quick march up to new ATH.

ETH,XRP,SOL. Blue chips only. No shitcoins. No high risk. I'm not rich nor in a first world country. Shitcoin stacking is suicide. 60% BTC 30% ETH 10% anything else. I'm thinking about what survives Ina decade. I'm not after profits. I am treating them as assets to be accumulated. I'm only after bears. The original intended purpose of crypto, not fiat.
