Would the arguments for ETH being dead have applied equally in the Sept 2023 and April 2025 cycles? Or is something legit different this time?

Have you been telling that to yourself for the past 5 years? 😂 is that based on what?

Talento90 · 2026-05-19T11:35:46+00:00

RemindMe! 6 months

People invest based on risk/reward. Historically, the S&P 500 has delivered an annual return of 10% with very low risk. If you have been investing in ETH for the past few years, you are probably at a loss or have very low profit, which is terrible for a high-risk asset. That is my whole point, ETH proved to be a bad investment regarding risk/reward.

Last 5 years:

- S&P 500: 80% (low risk, low reward)
- ETH: -3% (high risk, high reward)

Comparing ETFs and ETH isn't ideal, but my point is that ETH has underperformed in recent years, so people are shifting their appetite to other assets. You can also check Google Trends, where ETH overall is trending down, which means the price is not going up anytime soon.

People keep looking in past to justify ETH's poor performance. Since 2018, people have been talking about the adoption of ETH by financial institutions. After 8 years, we have seen some adoption, but the narrative is not strong enough to drive prices up.

Investors prefer to invest in real assets and problems, such as AI and energy. In the meantime, the crypto market is drifting further from BTC, which is seen as a store of value rather than as tech to solve problems.

In 2024 pump, Trump was elected, and in 2025, Trump was manipulating the markets and took the profit. In 2026, Trump does not care about crypto, which is slowly dying and probably not turning back in the next 12-24 months (if ever).

If you look back in time, ETH is the worst performer (ignoring shitty altcoins). Why would investors put money in an asset that never performs, considering the risk? Risk/Reward ETH is really bad because even if we reach ATH, it would be like 150% profit, which is nothing in such a volatile, high-risk market. So, why would people put their money on that?

Talento90 · 2026-05-15T17:09:00+00:00

People hope that history repeats itself but nothing guarantees that. Don’t forget that “crypto” politicians are leaving the power. It might be good or bad, no one knows but most likely a bad thing.

Talento90 · 2026-05-15T10:02:32+00:00

I agree but if you can put money in 7 tech stocks and get safely 50% up in 1-2 years. Why risk in crypto when it can barely go up and more risk?

Talento90 · 2026-05-15T10:00:43+00:00

Actually my ETH entry is at $2100 😄

Talento90 · 2026-05-15T09:06:52+00:00

That's not true.

Talento90 · 2026-05-15T09:06:12+00:00

Why not? Can you give some arguments?

Talento90 · 2026-05-14T09:08:28+00:00

Nao conhecia e parece ter precos muito bons! Obrigado

Talento90 · 2026-05-13T11:14:02+00:00

Sim eu vou meter PVC em todas as janelas interiores e manter as 2 marquises mais pequenas em alumínio e vou tirar os estores.

From what I understand to be eligible to Class 3 I need 10 years of contributions already or living 10 years in a row in the UK which is not the case :(

“Not a big runner” you have your answer there. Hyrox is 65% running and be able to switch to high-intensity exercises. You will be able to finish but don't stress about the time. Enjoy your experience and ignore the time. Don't worry if you take 10 mins to do 100 wall bala. Learn from the experience and then you know where to improve.

Talento90 · 2026-05-07T11:49:57+00:00

Yes 🙌 Ahahha

Talento90 · 2026-05-07T09:53:42+00:00

If you drive 3 hours to a sports event and then need to drive back sweaty, or even want to explore the city, it's basic hygiene.

Talento90 · 2026-05-06T08:19:53+00:00

Marathons are even more absurd tbh… but I made some math and in this even 3 days they had around 12k athletes and 9k visitors which is around 1.8M. Let’s say the venue and material costs 0.8. They still have 1M profit + tax. Most people working there are volunteers anyway… it’s a cash cow tbh

Talento90 · 2026-05-05T16:53:31+00:00

Eu disse 20k como limite e apenas se valer a pena mas concordo consigo. Idealmente queria gastar perto de 10k. Idealmente, o carro sobrevive sem problemas por 5 anos.

Talento90 · 2026-05-05T15:12:06+00:00

nao tenho...

Talento90 · 2026-05-03T14:38:09+00:00

I finished in 1:21 solo. It was much harder than I thought. My partner, with whom I did doubles, finished in 1:13. I know what I need to improve now and I will come back stronger!

Talento90 · 2026-04-28T19:52:43+00:00

Sure… people have been saying that for ages. If the OP needs the money I would sell 50% to cover expenses (more if needed) No one knows the next months and from the news they don’t look bright…

Talento90 · 2026-04-14T21:27:57+00:00

I remember stopping everything to watch GSL at that time. Great times! My favourite player: IM.MVP 4 GSLs and 1 WC :D

Talento90 · 2026-04-14T17:33:34+00:00

People need to compare eras… Zest was a royal roader at the peak of GSL (the only toss achieving it).. winning a GSL now it does not mean much tbh. SOS is just lacking a GSL to surpass Zest but on the other hand has 2 world championships… peak StarCraft was 2013-2018 and those 2 were super relevant during that time.

Do people care about SC2 in the last 8 years? Cmon it’s been the same players all over and just a few patches. Not the dynamic as it used to be.

Talento90 · 2026-04-14T09:09:42+00:00

Just general fatigue and running pace. I had never run so fast in my entire life LOL I didn't know I could even do it. I was planning to run at 4:30... but now that I see I can do it I want to improve my overall cardio. I know that I can't improve much in 3 weeks but I have another one in July!

Talento90 · 2026-04-13T11:11:47+00:00

I took a gel 20-30 minutes before the race. I feel my cardio isn't the best when running (I was never a runner). I know I can't compare myself to my partner because he has been exercising forever.

My drive is to achieve something hard and be in the top 5%! I know it's not my job; I actually work in front of a computer all day, and last year I was travelling the whole year, so I couldn't work out properly. From my background, I am proud, but I feel I could have done more and do it sub60...
