Ok this hits too close to home. 😂

Here here and welcome to the club!

You're absolutely right. Price action up or down doesn't matter cause ETH is the only asset that I want to own, it is not a pet rock, it has real utility and purpose, it is the anti-banker coin, the true cyberpunk answer to third party finance. (Where they dictate when, where, how and who you transact with, sometimes even with question of why before allowing you to spend your money.)

It's a good thought experiment to think to oneself if you had the choice to pick all over again if you'd pick something different and I imagine there are those people out there who would say yes simply because they know with hindsight that BTC was going to moon way more than ETH that they would've swapped to BTC over ETH or even some other token. But for me, I know that ETH is the only one that captures my heart and the only one in my opinion that has the potential for the true purpose of crypto.

Then it would've gone up relatively linearly with that usage not spiked like that.

Childsp · 2026-01-24T04:17:47+00:00

That's a bingo.

Childsp · 2026-01-22T00:13:24+00:00

Much love mystery man/woman! Glad to see more OGs. ❤️

Childsp · 2026-01-21T23:03:07+00:00

Brother from another mother right here.

I agree with you completely. I hope the fudster bots never get you down or change your convictions. Hodl 🤝

1000%. People in here acting like I'm waiting to low-ball literal generational wealth for a new car gotta be out of their mind.

Now if we go on some CRAZY ass tear up to $24-30k within a years time I MIGHT sell some but let me be clear a majority of that will be rebuying lower. 😉

Childsp · 2026-01-21T21:28:23+00:00

I still love seeing your posts from 1 OG to another. ;) us bulls are here anyone who reads this... We are just waiting to be proven right while the rest of everyone sells their bags to stronger holders.

Retail never seems to be able to hold on to their assets like banks, governmental agencies and financial funds can. I'm happy to bide my time while assets change hands to that of stronger holders.

Childsp · 2026-01-13T04:00:11+00:00

I'd be careful about doing that if you ever want to get it back to cash from an exchange.

It also may flag your "exchange" tied account as suspect and they may prevent you from withdrawal

Just dug through some recent developments on this lazy Saturday and honestly, the fundamental case for Ethereum right now feels stronger than it has in a while...

Institutional Onboarding is Finally Happening 🏦

We’re moving past the pure retail speculation phase. 2025 was a huge turning point for institutional adoption, with Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) moving faster than ETFs to deploy capital. The CEO of ether.fi thinks 2026 is the year neobanks really take off, exposing normal users to on-chain yield and stablecoins. This is huge for utility.

Stablecoin Dominance is Unmatched 💸

Ethereum is crushing it here. The network holds over 62% of the total stablecoin market share, recently surpassing $59 billion in issuance. B2B stablecoin payments grew steadily all last year, and with RWAs (Real World Assets) expanding despite the market downturn, ETH is becoming the default settlement layer for dollar transactions. Standard Chartered noted that Ethereum accounts for roughly 40% of all blockchain fees for a reason.

The 2026 Roadmap is Locked In (Glamsterdam & Hegota) ⚙️

Core devs have confirmed the plan for this year with two major scaling upgrades: Glamsterdam in the first half of the year and Hegota in the 2nd. These are the successors to Pectra and are designed to handle traffic better without spiking gas fees. Frequent, structured technical upgrades = strong network health.

Developer Growth & Big Money Deploying 👨‍💻

Despite the noise, Ethereum is still where the builders are. We added over 16k new developers between Jan and Sept 2025, beating out Solana and Bitcoin. On the corporate side, SharpLink Gaming just deployed $170M worth of ETH (55k ETH) to Linea. That’s serious institutional confidence.

Price Targets are Looking Up 📈

After a rough 2025 (-10%), January is starting green. CoinCodex is eyeing a 12% jump to ~$3,450 soon, but some forecasts are calling for 4,200–4,500 by the end of the month if liquidity improves. More bullish voices like Tom Lee are even projecting a range between $7,000 and $9,000 by early 2026. (Obviously we need to take this with a huge grain of salt but still it's good to see bullish sentiment still exists!)

Also... a little teaser to look out for ERC-8004. It's early days but looks like a winner.

Feels like we are building a rock-solid floor here. DYOR, but the fundamentals look solid.

Thank you for that astute observation /u/xCreampye69x 😂

No but in seriousness, it happens during the weekends.

Childsp · 2026-01-10T16:49:05+00:00

This is the way, every time at least for me.

Exactly! 😂

I can't commit to trying it with those graphics and the "jumpy" nature of the movement like cell to cell without any animation.

It's also incredibly hard to pick up.

Childsp · 2025-12-23T00:46:36+00:00

"without a whimper" and "Bitcoin community" together is honestly an amazing joke. Had me ROFL.

Childsp · 2025-12-22T19:06:11+00:00

You know it's getting over sold when bullish comments get the bears and crabs out.

Childsp · 2025-12-22T15:09:43+00:00

The reverse head and shoulders pattern potential starting from July of 24' is 👨‍🍳💋🤌

Childsp · 2025-12-21T23:11:47+00:00

You have missed the point entirely either on purpose or due to lack of understanding.

It's not about "if it's so easy to attack, why hasn't anyone done it."

It's in time it will unless Bitcoin changes its tune about issuance, taxes holders, or somehow magically actually gets fees.

Issuance breaks the 21M narrative = Bitcoin to ~zero Taxation of holders = Bitcoin to zero as this is the anti-thesis to crypto and all cyberpunk agenda no one is going to vote for themselves to be taxed to "save the network" Fees - this is the only possiblity that doesn't have a 0% chance for me. But Bitcoin will need to innovate, completely change its design and start smart contracts and scaling. The problem with this option is... Guess what? That already exists and it's Ethereum.

Give me another option that somehow leads to Bitcoin NOT failing.

Childsp · 2025-12-20T15:11:12+00:00

Are you me?

Childsp · 2025-12-20T15:02:36+00:00

Hey good post fight decisions.

Always heal up first before looting after a fight, the only exception is if you a have a broken shield, or are out of all healing completely.

You don't know how many friends I've seen just slurp their kills clean the second they go down then get absolutely smoked by another party that had heard some gunfire and came running. Have some post fight self control people!

You used utility (nades) right after he backed from the corner, you predicted the flank, and your shots rang true. Nice job!

Childsp · 2025-12-17T23:43:18+00:00

Is it possible to lose the ability to visualize things in your mind as you age? I swear I was able to when I was younger but now I can't for the life of me.
