crypto Composite

No, NFTs got loads of ridicule even when they were doing well. Perhaps not so much on twitter, but here on Reddit. I'd say the majority of crypto people thought of them as shitcoins.
In fact back then I remember commenting how it's funny how this crypto sub turns into the Buttcoin sub when NFTs are mentioned.
I didn't even start buying them until late 2022 and still have a collection today. I was dumb for not selling my Reddit NFTs for 70+ ETH when I had the chance, but still enjoy the collecting side even when they're worth a few dollars

SharpLink is still stacking Ethereum even after a $685M Q1 loss… are institutions starting to see ETH more like a long-term treasury asset than just a crypto investment?

imagine holding ETH

Stablecoins already grew hundreds of billions in TVL and tokenization is talked about a lot. People need to buy ETH for ETH price to go up. So far, demand is pretty low. Most people buy BTC and crypto as a whole is not that hyped compared to AI, tech, space or other industries. I don't know anyone that got into buying ETH post 2021.

ETH the clown of crypto

Good first step — putting in an amount you can afford to lose while you learn is exactly the right approach.
Honest advice for where to go from here:
Don't check the price every hour. Seriously. It'll drive you crazy and lead to bad decisions. ETH is a long-term hold for most people — short-term price moves are mostly noise.
Learn what actually drives price before adding more. The basics that matter: what ETF flows tell you about institutional demand, how market sentiment (Fear & Greed) shifts, what happens when too many people use leverage. Once you understand these, you stop reacting emotionally to every move.
Find one reliable source of structured information instead of following ten influencers. Most crypto content is noise or worse — someone trying to pump their bags.
If you want a starting point for understanding market structure without the hype, cryptosignalradar.com is what I built for exactly this — daily briefings explaining the why behind price moves, plain language, no predictions.
Good luck — the fact that you're asking questions before going all-in already puts you ahead of most.

Please do a little bit if due diligence before you post something like this. The $50M unstake is due to converting stETH back to ETH. They bought the stETH for ETH a day earlier from a project that needed instant liquidity due to the aave hack. The EF even tweeted about it, but the quality of journalism, especially in crypto, is so bad that they just publish anything from anyone which makes good headlines and people gobble it up.
I am not aware that they changed anything in their staking percentage in recent weeks. I am not following it very closely, so it might be that I missed something.

By making you real money, does 2X qualify?? Buying almost any coin at the depth of the historical bear markets would get you a 2X at the bear minimum (pun intended). Even a 4X was pretty easy to accomplish when ETH went down to $1,000 and SOL went below $50. Buying the established alt coins when they were down 75% from all time highs has been free money in many instances.

Yeah I get you.
I've been fortunate to have played ETH, BTC, TSLA, and PLTR so I have learned experience of those crazy moves, the emotions that come with them, and my exit strategy definitely is different than others.
I usually position myself for at least a 3-5x doubling, I sell covered calls on 5% of the position to create income, and once the asset doubles 3-5x I sell 50% outside retirement accounts (depending on how much I want to be taxed) and 75% inside my retirement account that I prioritize for safer plays and can take more position off without paying taxes.
But I also keep myself informed with fundamentals and prioritize that over technicals, both together are helpful though.

that's not the way a foundation of a decentralised protocol should work.
I don't disagree with what they are doing but would prefer them to be honest about it.
They could help defi united, get glamsterdam shipped, transition their best devs into nice jobs with the new tradfi owners of ETH, and let the code be law whilst being upfront about it. And they would be applauded.
but instead we get the 2.5 years runway then ossification narrative. Which ain't gonna happen.

Ethereum.. I wish I accumulated something else rather than ETH over the last years..

No worries, end of day nobody knows whats going to happen.
Many are predicting the future from past performance not taking into account that factors have significantly changed in ETHs favor.
At the end of the day if ETH goes to 3T+ MC in the next 5yrs was it worth the ride....for me absolutely!!
ETH fundamentals have never been better. Main stream Adoption is just getting started.
Its inevitable for ETH to eventually have its day to shine.

Tom lee could buy 50% of all ETH and price would still go down. Its really a hot pile of shit tbh.

Measure from the 2021 ATH.
ETH’s 2025 ATH was barely above its 2021 ATH. I love ETH, but the price action has been cursed since 2021, and it still feels like we are trapped in that same cursed region.
I honestly cannot believe $2.4k is resistance in 2026. That is basically ETH’s average 2022 bear-market price adjusted for inflation.
Brutal.

Rick Wurster mentioned that Schwab is prioritizing the two largest cryptocurrencies for its "spot" trading launch on MSNBC.
• **Bitcoin (BTC)** 
• **Ethereum (ETH)**

My guess is they are unstaking with Lido since it is a third party and will stake it on their own validators. In April they staked over 70k ETH on Beacon Chain Validators

Won't react. They don't run eth, they are unloading onto a platform that will HODL forever, it was planned, and they don't care about holding the ETH, as that's not in any way the goal of the foundation. Vitalik has billions he would give to them if they needed it.

Jo tjena, lade 300k på BTC back in the day(12-13 år sedan). 204 btc för ungefär 2500-3300 kr per BTC. Senare åren, otroligt enkelt att köpa ETH vid 14k, vänta 2 månader och sen är det 35k igen (hänt flera gånger nu och jag har fått 90% i ren vinst varje gång)
Äh var lite taskig där, 1 miljon vid 22 är imponerande när du också skaffat det på egen hand. Du verkar ha lite av en "systemanalytisk" hjärnhalva! *Vilket är något av det mest användbara du kan ha i skallen!*
Good job homie!

Stick to BTC and ETH, don't blindly believe "signals" on twitter/ telegram, and definitely stay away from memecoins promising to be the next 1000x
