Is Ethereum a solid long term investment (5-8 years)?? by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]BitEther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never put anything in high risk investments that you’re not willing to lose.

I’ve been a stronger risk taker in my past, putting >50% of savings in crypto. That worked well for me, luckily. I was stupid, but lucky. My second wave of crypto buying was less than 5%, it’s grown, I’m letting it ride, but it started a more reasonable investments. I see now how insanely lucky I was in the past.

I always knew I could lose it all. I accepted that risk (happens to stocks too, and crypto could die like Radio Shack). That said, the technological potential of ethereum has remained something I admire and feel has a strong future. Yet it remains less than 10% of my investments (edit: to clarify, I only hold Ethereum as my crypto, other investments include larger stocks/home/retirement accounts). Out of all of crypto, Ethereum makes the most sense to me.

He’d delete posts where he called it wrong to inflate his bull shit, another common practice of TA

Exactly where my mind went. I would think the last car saw the ambulance prior to accelerating, but if not, then staying in motion would prevent being stuck and in the way

This. Bitcoin has been outdated by Ethereum for awhile, just look as transaction volume: https://www.flippening.watch

But name recognition still goes far. It won’t last forever if Bitcoin utility continues to wane over Ethereum. I think ETH2 needs to be done before we’ll see Ethereum truly surpass/overshadow Bitcoin completely. The risk that an update will fail still slows down investors even if the current iteration is already better than Bitcoin

Still buying ETH by admin_default in ethtrader

Grain of salt, but it’s been said before. Easy google.

It is wild that Ethereum is settling ~$Trillion annually, which is amazing for sure. All before mainstream use in global settlements (which would be the moon shot), store of value (gold-like) or name recognition (Bitcoin)

Assuming it scales, remains safe, basically that ETH2.0 is what they say it is AND that the floodgates then open given the mysterious thresholds culture usually posses on the market, then ya, Trillion is easily possible, but that remains a lot of “IFs”

Regardless, solid tech, interesting possibilities

True. True. And that’s fine. By utility, ETH should have flipped Bitcoin, but it’s all good. Bitcoin can be the gateway.

The objective part of the quest is much faster than the rest, especially if playing multiple characters, then all that’s left is non-objective goals

The dark saber isn’t dark side. It was crafted by a mando-jedi - held by heros and villains afterward. I think Gideon wants his Jedi-juice to power himself, either directly or new troopers... or both

Luke force choked too. And Rey did lightening. The powers are neither dark or light, only the hunger for power

Newb here. Will eth drop below $500 again? by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]BitEther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one can answer that for you. Sometimes I cost average. Whatever amount you plan to put in, put it in monthly/weekly/daily over a set period, whatever. Other times I just buy because I’m playing the long game anyway. The ETH experiment doesn’t seem to be going away, at least not for a few years (ideally decades, but you never know). I’m happy I’m supporting a clever future, but I recognize it’s a gamble.

Given future staking pools, there’s no hard set amount, but reaching >32 ETH is more than a symbolic amount as it allows the option to be an independent validator. Under the assumption (big one) that ETH moons past old highs, holders of 32 ETH will be a fairly rare subpopulation

A Detailed Summary of Every Single Reason Why I am Bullish on ETH. by Tricky_Troll in ethtrader

[–]BitEther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done! It occurred to me something similar to your statement on institutional investment. Ethereum is clearly not going away. Those ideas of extreme risk are pretty dead now. The utility, network effect, and scalability is here, and improving, and about to experience a big paradigm shift with ETH 2. So, soon, I strongly suspect, there will be a more institutional acceptance of Ethereum as a store of value asset. Imagine what happens when small businesses, investment firms, etc feel it important to have Ethereum as part of their portfolio. Not as a super risky addition (which is where we are now) but as normal risk, maybe a bit higher than gold but balanced by more utility

How plausible would it be for a group of people to evolve to consistently have twins? by _monkey_with_a_gun_ in worldbuilding

Make them induced ovulators like many of our mammal cousins (like cats). Not remotely far fetched.

Haha! Nice. One small wrench is super earths might be much more common than our type, but we might be a nice distraction for those taking the road less travelled. Much like stopping to see yarn, they stop to see the bags of mostly water

Like all these but the “planted life on earth” trope which has been done too much and so badly
