I think The price of ETH will go down wait a little bit but if you are active enough to check chart everyday then go for DCA. Bonus tip: if you are planning to hold for a long term then stake those ETH after buying.

Now a good time to buy ETH ?

I agree that crypto often moves as one risk asset, especially during sharp deleveraging. When liquidity tightens, Bitcoin, ETH, and most altcoins tend to correlate because positioning, funding, and risk appetite dominate individual fundamentals. I also agree that ETF outflows are at least partly reactive. Several studies find that ETF investors often sell after price declines and buy after rallies, so flows can follow price rather than lead it. That said, I would be careful treating “below $70K is good value” as a standalone signal. A lower price is only good value if the thesis, demand, liquidity, and macro backdrop support it. Oversold can stay oversold for longer than expected, especially when leverage is being unwound. Q1 2027 momentum is possible, but it feels more like a scenario than a forecast. I would want to see spot demand stabilize, funding reset without another liquidation cascade, and ETF outflows slow before treating this as a regime change rather than a correction.

Same approach here. The one thing I’d add: the buffer only helps if you’re around when it gets used. Liquidation is the most expensive way out, since the liquidator takes \~4-5% of what’s seized on most ETH markets, so I’d rather pick my own exit above the line than defend it late night. Disclosure: I’m building [Supersmooth.fi](http://Supersmooth.fi), which does that onchain (Stop Loss / Auto Sell on Aave, Morpho, Spark positions), but even a manual rule like “repay at X” beats a buffer you have to watch

I might be reading this wrong, but do you mean this in the sense of taking a cut? The 4.3% isn't a result of Ethereum taking a cut of economic activity, but instead it's ETH's market capitalization relative to the estimated value of the ecosystem. The article points out that infrastructure fees are at just 0.3% and it argues that eventually ETH value could be at 10–20% of the economic value Ethereum supports, using the internet as a benchmark. > Focus on growing that $5.7 Trillion and getting 5% of a bigger number. Definitively agree here. It's a double job: grow the $5.7 trillion AND ensure that growth translates into demand for ETH. The latter part is where we really struggle.

ETH's so efficient it skipped the significant recovery phase and went right to the $1800s phase. And a day early!

I just recently found that Indian Police is using Cardano chain to store forensic evidences https://youtu.be/ktajMuidYtU Also heard may farmers using Cardano based product for supply chain in India with help of NGO. Just two that came to my mind. Definitely not as many as compared to ETH

Never done it but I can tell you that OTC real world crypto favor stablcoins on ETH (forget L2s they not interested) and TRC. At least ETH basically confirmed in ten seconds, can you imagine BTC Moe like ten minutes lol.

> **Ethereum Generates $5.7 Trillion of Value. The Market Credits ETH With 4.3% of It** > Ethereum generates about $5.7 trillion of value for the economy built on it, yet the market prices ETH at $246 billion, just 4.3% of that. In this second annual Ethereum-as-infrastructure valuation report, William Mougayar values Ethereum as a public good, like the Internet's protocols: through the settlement flows it carries, the trust costs it removes, and the assets built on it. At an Internet-like 15% capture, ETH would be worth about $7,000, 3.5× today's price.

Narratives gain prominence and change over time, sure, but that doesn't mean the underlying thesis has been abandoned or that Vitalik is continually inventing new justifications for ETH's existence as the person I responded to had claimed.

Sure. I start with a 20% base allocation per signal, then scale it based on the volatility of recent trade returns. The key thing is I'm looking at how much the system's own returns fluctuate, not just how much BTC or ETH moves. If those returns become more volatile, I want to be more careful about how much capital I put into each trade. I don't want to keep using the same size when the risk has changed. I also look at what's already open. A new trade might look fine on its own, but I still need to consider what it adds to the overall portfolio risk. For me, it's really about controlling exposure and keeping capital available for the next opportunities, rather than trying to maximize every single trade.

Because in the last 3 years, ETH has gone from <2k to >4k twice, and now it’s <2k again. Figure it out.

This is not entirely correct. Crypto in an exchange can be clawed back. There it is not your seed phrase, but that of the central exchange. And your coins are as secure as that of the dumbest dev at the exchange. They are not even your coins really. Coins should never be kept on an exchange. It is meant only for on-ramping and off-ramping to fiat. Your coins shouldn’t be there there longer than 10 minutes. Your crypto should be in self-custody or with a vendor that specializes in ONLY custody. If self-custody your crypto is as secure as you are. You are responsible. If you are not an idiot, keep devices properly segregated, you are secure. But if you hold stablecoins like USDC or USDT, they can still freeze your coins because the issuer has control over them, not you. Your seed phrase doesn’t protect you from that. So only decentralized coins like Bitcoin and ETH truly are under control of whoever holds the seed phrase.

if they don't set rewards = fees in due course i'm gonna get grokbot to fork ethereum to do this and my fork will burn all VB's and the EF's ETH.

Just a though, maybe, just maybe, people will be more amenable to consider lowering the issuance if the price melts down enough for them to realize that ETH is a significantly better SoV without the rich dumping staking rewards on holders. And I say that as a staker. It's better than BTC... make it *even* better.

**The thesis hasn't changed.** It's wild y'all come in here with these confidently incorrect claims and then form so many opinions around it. The store-of-value thesis isn't new. Ethereum's original 2014 whitepaper described ETH as a currency and liquidity layer and an Ethereum Foundation publication from April 2014 explicitly discussed ETH as a store-of-value. That's before the network was ever even launched. L2 scaling didn't somehow stop being the future. It successfully brought transaction costs down dramatically. Ultrasound money was never a guarantee of permanent deflation. Yes, we can debate about whether Ethereum's growing adoption translates into sufficient value for ETH holders or not, but portraying its foundational monetary properties as something Vitalik just invented to rationalize poor price performance is wildly inaccurate.

That’s a fair point, and I don’t necessarily disagree. I think a lot of ETH holders, myself included, are holding on because of sunk cost rather than genuine conviction. My frustration isn’t just with the price action, but with the opportunity cost of having capital tied up for six years while the investment thesis keeps shifting. I.e. **Layer 2 scaling was the future, until it wasn't.** **The Ultrasound money thesis** **Now, it’s a SoV asset.** At what point does this become moving the goalposts? First it was utility and adoption, then deflationary tokenomics, and now store of value. I understand that technology evolves, but constantly shifting the justification for an asset’s valuation is not confidence-inspiring. It feels like Vitalik is constantly searching for a thesis to justify ETH's valuation, rather than building a thesis that gives ETH its value. That's a pretty fundamental problem for an investment. At this moment, I’m not convinced Ethereum’s success as a network will necessarily translate into meaningful returns for ETH holders. I probably shouldn’t wait for $3,500 to sell, but at this point I’m waiting for a meaningful bounce to exit.

> I’m dumping ETH if it ever gets back to $3,500. No you're not, it'll be going up uP UP so you'll hold or buy more

If you are that pessimistic on the long term bet you should sell out and invest in something else. I'm not saying that in the "butthurt ETH fanboy" sense, more in the investment sense. The best time to sell an investment is when the trade doesn't make sense to you anymore, if you think you can make a better return buying something else. I'm not planning to sell, but I can't help but feel my decision is uncomfortably based in my ego and the sheer amount of time I've been holding.

Ethereum has over $130 billion in stablecoins, $40 billion in DeFi, and billions in daily trading volume. ETH itself is required for transaction fees and staking and is widely used as collateral. These aren't hypothetical applications. You can argue that this activity isn't generating enough value for ETH holders, but claiming there's no demand or utility is false false false.

I don't look at it that way. Tether is not like USDC. They are OG and will make moves for clients, themselves, and big users like Justin Sun. Tether is also a buyer and a seller of BTC. They are also a buyer of treasuries. They benefit from interest hikes. They see the board based on flows. Rate cut and they loose money. Hikes they benefit because they take the exchange cash and invest it. Lutnick, Commerce secretary, firm also are owners of USDT. Europe is about to freeze out USDT. Senator Blumenthal just called to see their records as he drills into the president. When I see those tweets about about some exchange printing like $300M, I look at as exit liquidity. Retail thinks pump and gets eager while the whales are about to take retails money and cash out. the candle is sitting on the 200 day avg on the daily. This used to shake BTC more but IBIT has slowed that. ETH also has gotten better to its impact. As well as Hype which may be based on how they are set up and built. Never permeated their system and chain. So it's going to get interesting. https://preview.redd.it/rd0b9x63uf1i1.png?width=861&format=png&auto=webp&s=8708da877726a6c3676ffeff83fde8acf398ab12

I’m dumping ETH if it ever gets back to $3,500. Six years of dead money and missed opportunities. At some point, the opportunity cost outweighs whatever upside you’re still hoping for. Meanwhile, Vitalik keeps flip-flopping on Ethereum’s use case and long-term direction, which does little to inspire investor confidence. It’s hard to stay bullish when even the vision for the asset seems to be constantly shifting.
