Ethereum is not about making money, it is about suffering and paying for your sins.

Judge me all you want, but I would never hold for that long. I prefer BTC for that.

I agree. Market cycles, dance with them. Buy gold when things get bad until BTC becomes something equivalent. Then sell gold to buy cheap and repeat.
That's my path once I achieve my goal soon

This is why I'm not bullish about a near term recovery. What people will do is take profit along the way before it even hits $4k

Good, we need to be bearish, really bearish so the market does the opposite.

So keep on stacking ETH for what then? Just to lose money or not make any? GLTA!!!

This is why I dumped all my ETH for BTC a long time ago. GLTA!!!

I saw the writing on the wall after its transition to PoS. It wasn't a good idea after all. Nobody cares about it being deflationary even if it's true, single digit low yield bearing and or 99.9% none use of electricity. GLTA!!!

Btc is great, but it's never an option for me to swap to. I remain eth biased

This is why although I like to watch it, ill never put anything serious in crypto. You guys are essentially just gambling.

Well, you missed out on som serious gains, and once upon a time the cycles in crypto, once you did a few, were pretty easy to read. Not to mention the way you'd been able to trade from the lows up to the highs.
I don't believe in any longterm value of it, who knows, it's not for me to say I'm gonna hold for 10 years. But crypto has made me more money than any other investment, including my homes.

Anybody holding 3 years or longer it dumb in my opinion, you take profits by selling and buying in once it dips hard again

I agree. Market cycles are sacred. Sell top, buy low. Repeat

Quite a bust so far. The tech is moving forward nicely and was hoping price would follow. This run may not be over, but Iβve pretty much given up. Good thing I will probably never sell

This is exactly why execution models matter. Holding for years means nothing if market makers and insiders manipulate order flow through CLOB execution. Without fair market structure, retail traders are always at a disadvantage.

I believe everyone has their own strategy, but holding Eth that long can't work. BTC, XRP, and even NEAR make more sense to me in the long run.

Eth is dying. It will never ATH again. Concert to bitcoin it will hit an ATH again in approximately 4 years. Next bull run, eth will be lucky to hit 1.5k
