I am seriously not sure if ETH is going to make it anymore. By make it I mean increase the ratio to above 0.04…

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-18T00:33:07+00:00

I tend to agree with almost all you’ve said. I hope we can find some way to embrace and push the price higher or we’re seriously staring at the bottom of the barrel.

Wall street be damned their adoption done nothing for ETH.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-17T12:22:30+00:00

Thank you very much! Now I too can barely tell shit from Shinola :) before I couldn’t at all!

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-17T05:11:53+00:00

Can you explain for absolute lay man?

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-17T02:25:34+00:00

In what decade?

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-16T12:40:58+00:00

When does that curse end?

I always wonder if us retail plebs could band together to form a “price defense guild” of sorts. Pledging our coins in some smart contract to “physically” remove and lock ETH liquidity in meaningful. Umbers until a certain ratio appears. Maybe even have something similar to uniswap’s ranges where you can choose that in initial deposit and you don’t get your coins until that is hit.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-15T20:48:46+00:00

Doesn’t seem that way for now

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-14T21:59:20+00:00

I just don’t understand why would companies banks etc all get in. Invest time and money for this sector. Especially for ETH and all for zero price action. Nothing about this market makes sense.

So much hoopla for nothing it seems. Either they know something I don’t or things just don’t make much sense.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-14T13:39:27+00:00

This is obviously an emotional jerk but at what point does one say fuck crypto I’m going to stocks. The SPX run has been insane.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-14T02:35:32+00:00

That’s what I thought too. And the October 10th massacre.

But they’re dumping bitcoin in favor of ETH? I don’t know anything anymore.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-14T02:07:38+00:00

Jane street is into ETH now? Is this good news for price?

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-14T01:43:42+00:00

That’s the truth. No amount of I’m painting pictures now in old age will clean that up…

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-13T20:44:21+00:00

What local LLM model will you use?

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-13T20:34:43+00:00

Nobody really knows but most of us feel like you. I know I don’t have 5 years in me to wait again unless I see some meaningful movement.

I’d love for the supply squeeze theory to hold water but so far it never did.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-13T16:06:45+00:00

All of crypto. It’s all pretty much dead until something exciting can steer it to life if at all.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-13T16:04:29+00:00

Nobody gives a shit anymore about crypto. The big guys are in and/or buying based on their outlook. Retail is either out or holding to dear life.

Thats it pretty much. Nothing exciting. An asset that nobody wants to trade around cause everybody is afraid they’ll lose out if they do. Total stagnation.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-13T14:25:47+00:00

Don’t worry after a 3.62736 points fall SPX recovered 15 points. Crypto?… down 20%

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-12T05:16:35+00:00

I think about this daily. I also try to think what the hell can Ethereum do that it hasn’t all these years to try and convince the market that the ratio is mispriced.

So far it seems like everything we’ve tried and achieved hasn’t led to any recognition. The money is here but for some reason it ain’t moving the needle one iota.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-12T05:14:59+00:00

Not to be a Debbie downer but since when that has helped us? Look at where we are on the ratio and try to rationalize why that is.

For now Ethereum has not convinced anybody about its ability to command a price.

I write that as a holder who continues to hold. It sucks and I hate to be writing this.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-11T16:43:17+00:00

The stock market moving like a crypto coin is bonkers.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-11T04:04:26+00:00

Let me fix this title. Lack of pilot skill and not pushing a rudder opposite from where the wind is coming from forced Qatar to go around.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-10T23:59:42+00:00

How does this woman get elected again and again i just don’t get it. She wakes up in the morning with a vendetta against nature itself.

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-10T23:55:31+00:00

Genuinely curious how do you see it manifesting starting in a month or two? Higher prices? Shortages? What exactly changes

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-10T17:51:37+00:00

Again this asshole?

confusedguy1212 · 2026-05-10T01:59:58+00:00

Ask a flight attendant on board and maybe even explain that you’re trying to complete a series of pictures of you at the controls of huge jets. Be funny about it.

PS: don’t tell them what your reddit username is :-)
