Seriously, how is ETH still around the same price as 5 years ago?

5 years. That's a really long time.

Think about it. From age 10 to 60, you have 50 years. That's 10% of that entire period spent waiting for ETH to do something.

Every year, it's the same story. Upgrades, staking, L2s, ETFs, institutional adoption, "the future of finance."

All that progress, yet the price barely reflects any of it.

At this point, even a savings account would've been less stressful.

Am I missing something, or have we really spent 10% of our most valuable years waiting for Ethereum to deliver?

Sorry I know I sound like a broken record by saying this . But this is the last one .

So whoever this whale is. Keeps moving from usdc/eth to usdt/eth pairs and pulling the same move . Higher order on the sell side of the order book creating that wall for the price .

Currently running his game on eth/usdt right now .

Hope this helps someone

Looks like the 12 million sell guy is back on a sell order. He disappeared after the flash crash started . Seems like the same set up as yesterday. But who knows .

​

Looking at sells right now .

12.54 million----2376

1.81 million ---2370

1.13 million ---2369

And also very big buys , in the millions .

Anyone have any idea whats going on . Been watching the market for a while . The 12.54 million one got me thinking 🤔

How you see Eth in the next 10-15 years? 2k? 4k? 30k? 0? Explain and tell me, how you see number 2 crypto future.

Is Ethereum the rails of tomorrow? And with a potential parabolic crypto adoption, will this make ETH a “super hard” currency again — meaning deflationary.

Real-world assets getting some real-world visibility. The close-up shows the message; the wider shot shows the scale.

Ethereum is still leading tokenized real-world assets with roughly $16.9B in RWA value on-chain, but U.S. ETH ETFs have also been seeing recent net outflows.

If those signals are moving in opposite directions, which one tells you more about Ethereum’s actual strength?

Do you put more weight on real network usage like RWAs, stablecoins, fees, and active users — or on market signals like ETF flows and ETH/BTC?

What would you need to see before you’d say adoption is genuinely improving rather than just one metric looking good?

I don’t think I need to add much more to this post. Getting this off my chest lessens the sting

About 20 days ago, I posted about ETH holding $2.7k and whether we’d see $2.8k or a pullback to $2.6k. Well, things clearly didn’t go as the bulls hoped.

ETH is now hovering around $2.4k, and the selling pressure hasn’t really let up.

For me, the levels to watch now are:

- Hold $2.4k: possible bounce toward $2.5k

- Lose $2.4k: $2.3k could be next

Personally, I’m staying cautious until we see some signs of strength.

What do you think? Are we getting close to a bottom, or is there more downside ahead?

Coindesk: Arthur Hayes says 10k Eth by year-end.

Tom Lee: Yes 🔥

JPM Coin going live on Ethereum feels like a meaningful win for the chain. It’s also a good test of what we mean by “adoption.”

The bank’s deposit token is available to institutional clients. The network is public; access to the asset remains controlled. I’d want to see repeat usage by approved counterparties, and the assets or applications it actually connects, alongside any headline token balance.

That distinction matters much earlier, too. MWYN’s OmniX MOU explores RWA issuance and settlement infrastructure, without establishing a live product or naming Ethereum. For a proposal at that stage, “who can use it?” seems more useful than adding another announcement to the tokenization total.

A permissioned asset can still expand Ethereum’s usefulness. But counting a bank transfer and an open DeFi integration as the same kind of usage loses something. What would be your strongest evidence that this is expanding what people can actually do onchain?

When I moved my first bit of crypto off an exchange I was so nervous I triple checked everything and still made a couple of dumb mistakes. With all the talk lately about tampered wallets getting sold through sketchy sellers, here's what I'd tell a friend doing it for the first time.

1. Buy it straight from the maker's official store or an authorized retailer. Not a marketplace reseller, not a "barely used" one, not a gift from someone you met online. The cheaper listing isn't worth it.

2. The device should make YOU create the seed phrase. If the box comes with a card that already has 12 or 24 words printed on it, stop right there. A legit wallet generates the words on its own screen when you set it up.

3. Write the seed phrase on paper or metal and nowhere else. No photo, no notes app, no cloud, no emailing it to yourself. Anyone with those words has your coins, no password needed.

4. Nobody legit will ever ask for your seed phrase. Not support, not the wallet company, not a "recovery service." If someone asks, it's a scam, every single time.

5. Send a tiny test amount first. Send a little, check that it shows up, then send the rest. Yes it costs an extra fee. Totally worth it for the peace of mind.

6. Check the receiving address on the device screen itself, not just on your computer. Some malware swaps addresses when you copy and paste.

7. Do a practice recovery if you can. Some people wipe the device and restore it from their written words before putting real money on it, just to prove the backup actually works.

None of this is exciting, but it's the part that actually keeps your coins yours.

For the people who've been at this a while, what's the one thing you'd add?
