    Diversification is technically smart. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with ETH and BTC, however you split it. The other coins... I'm not so sure about. I think those are much more a straight gamble. I'm personally going to defy conventional wisdom and go balls deep in ETH with a...

    BTC above 60k and ETH above 2k. Both approaching ATHs.

    Curious- your rationale for owning both BTC and ETH is that BTC is sticking with PoW? Or did I misread you? I was planning on going all in on ETH so I'm curious.

    Things are improving in the market... but Eth is on the rise (of course). May liquidate my stocks and just hang out until a crypto dip. Of course I run the risk that there is an explosion before a dip...

    The risk of Eth 2.0 not working (or not working fast enough) is why some people are hedging with ADA and other coins that are already doing what Eth wants to do. But imo Eth 2.0 would have to fail pretty badly for any other those alt coins to have even a chance of catching up with Eth.

    Well, I don't insist on an analogy lol, but having one is nice for helping people understand Eth's value. I like the oil analogy because it captures Eth as a commodity, a store of value, and a utility item with a very practical purpose all at once. None of the other analogies really do that...

    Vechain- it's a coin that is geared towards logistics and supply chains. Supposedly makes shipping/transfers/deliveries much easier and accurate for companies. Walmart China just started using it but it's still dirt cheap (around .08). I could see it getting very very big, especially if other...

    I agree with the BTC is gold idea, but I'm not sure Eth is silver. I haven't really seen a good comparison for Eth yet imo. Someone in one of the threads that got posted here said investing in Eth now is like if you could have invested in the "Internet" in 1995. Definitely seems like Eth is...

    Binance fees are the lowest in the business as far as I could tell when I was investigating it last night. Like 500% less than coinbase, etc. Also gas fees are presumably going way down in the near future as far as Eth-based stuff goes. I'm personally planning to stake my Eth after 2.0. Im...

    Binance looks like it has the least expensive fees by a good margin. Going to give them a shot.

    All NFT transactions are automatically done in Eth. You can convert it to USD (or whatever) after, but initially you pay/get paid in Eth when you transact NFTs. (One of the many reasons you should be investing in Eth). On a side note, I haven't checked in on this thread in a while. They are...

    I believe it. I talked to a rep at Fidelity for more than 30 minutes about various options regarding the different kind of IRAs and tax stuff. Not only was the guy obviously American and really friendly, but he was smart and knew his shit. I kept expecting him to say "you'll have to ask the...

    I know this has been asked before on this thread, but what platforms are people using to buy/sell/hold their crypt these days? I'm trying to change platforms. I don't plan to do much trade- mainly buy and sell Eth. I've looked at kraken, coinbase, and crypto.com. The fee structures are all...

    I've got about 6k in Eth and I've been trying to free up more money from my stock positions to buy more Eth before it takes off to the next level. I need at least one good market week before I can do that though and the market has been absolute shit lately. Really frustrating. I'm hoping...

    Thus my "one way or the other" comment. There's several scenarios that could go down. I absolutely don't want to shit up the thread with politics, but even if the filibuster doesn't go away, it could change. For example, they are talking about making all filibusters be "standing" filibusters...

    I think it's possible they will get legalization through Congress one way or the other, yeah. Sentiment about weed has been changing rapidly on both sides of the isle- though most of the hold outs are still on the right. Put it like this- I think federal weed legalization is inevitable, it's...

    I'm no expert on Government, but I'd imagine they could get a legalization bill passed through Congress but not with a veto-proof majority. Which means that Biden would absolutely factor in to any legalization effort.

    Yep. I've made some MJ investments this year, but I'm actually growing a little bearish on weed stuff after that news. If it was up to Harris, I'm sure we'd see legalized weed pretty quickly. But from what I've read, Biden still has the 1980's view on MJ stuck in his brain. Biden is one of...

    Blockchain/crypto isn't going anywhere. Personally, I'm not selling a thing. I'll probably add to my Eth position. I have a feeling Eth is going to use this downturn as a springboard. When things turn back around, I think Eth will have narrowed the gap with BTC.

    Yeah, I mean I'd go so far as to even say that it seems significant but BTC has been puzzling me a bit recently. Despite several recent things I'd think of as catalysts it hasn't really budged. Maybe it's just slow to react. The catalysts could be preventing what may have otherwise been a...

    Don't know a ton about Tron, but your arguments for it are pretty much the same arguments people make for ADA. They aren't bad arguments, but I personally don't think either TRX or ADA are going to catch Eth for reasons both @LachiusTZ and @Flobee mentioned previously: -Market cap -Inertia...

    From what I gather, the interest for staking Eth varies, depending on how much is being staked (globally I mean). I've seen several places that will pay you 10% yearly to stake your Eth, and they pay out daily (I think). But you don't need to have 32 Eth for that- they will stake whatever...

    I'm very much not an expert, but here's what I've gathered from people who are experts as to why Eth will eventually surpass BTC in value: 1. BTC's environmental footprint limits its upside. Right now the environmental footprint issue affects ALL crypto. For example, "ArtStation, an online...

    People hesitate to buy Eth because it's around $1,800 and they think it has limited upside compared to coins that cost pennies or a dollar. But the way you have to look at it is this: there are lots of reasons to believe that Eth will surpass BTC in the near future (next couple years). BTC is...

    It seems like some smaller coins move independently from BTC, but as soon as they reach a certain size/volume they get caught in the BTC net. All major crypto coins seem tied to BTC for the foreseeable future. That said, the limitations and environmental issues surrounding BTC are very real...

    Well his recent endorsement doesn't seem to have made much of a difference anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. Trying to figure out what catalysts are going to push crypto up through the next levels. I suppose institutional investments are going to be the primary drivers.
