I’ve held a fairly sturdy BTC conviction since November of final 12 months. Cycled out of all my alts and landed on 100% BTC by the beginning of 2022. I have been DCAing ever since. Form of had the plan to solely purchase BTC going ahead. I had made my thoughts up that BTC was all an individual wanted. I nonetheless imagine it is the important decentralized, no counter occasion, digital asset value proudly owning.
However now that I have been uncovered to extra of the crypto group, I’ve warmed as much as Ethereum. I believe it helps to view it as a completely totally different worth proposition. I would not argue which one is healthier. BTC is individually distinctive. ETH is the chief in POS and has worth because the main sensible contract platform. POS might assist or not it’s seen extra favorably by regulators.
With that stated, I believe I am prepared to separate my DCA with ETH. I’m nonetheless fearful about its long run regulatory threats and success in executing its numerous improvement levels however I do not suppose competing L1s will kill ETH. Additionally, I’ve the benefit of pivoting with the market since I am always following crypto information. I might have enough time to react to actual threats in comparison with the passive investor.
So, ought to I begin shopping for ETH? Is ETH the actual deal?
Once you DCA into BTC and ETH you are safe
Diversification is always a good idea
ETH is a very strong #2 so it’s one of the safest coins out here. Because it’ll be very deflationary in the next bull run, I believe that we’ll see something like 6-8k as a new ATH. ETH is definitely a great buy
> Is ETH the real deal?
I mean just look at the project age, adoption, recognition, and usage. By what standard would it not be the real deal? Outside of BTC, nothing comes close to ETH
All eyes on OP to see what he does to prices
Would wait for ETH to bottom. This is not the end of things.
I do 90% btc and 10% eth. I don’t touch anything else. This is not financial advice. I also eat crayons
I’m thinkin ETHs back
Eth is the real deal. I’ve been buying BTC for months now, but will only start buying Eth once it makes it’s way back to 1K
BTC and ETH are,
The Cola and Pepsi,
The Windows and Apple,
The Gold and Silver,
Of crypto.
These two will stay on top for a long time, if not forever.
Funny I just converted all my ETH to Bitcoin a few days ago! lol
It’s a gamble, only invest what you can afford to lose.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket just because someone online said it’s a good idea.
“He bought? Dump et”
You’re early, a normal person would be ready to buy ETH only after it’s $4000.
Vitalik’s name backwards is kilativ niretub. That’s all the DD you need my friend.
I’m not sure how I managed to go all this time without buying a single bit of BTC or ETH, I need to start buying some soon man
If you’re genuinely asking this sub for advice it’s probably time to exit crypto for your own safety.
I just started DCA into ETH and I’m feeling pretty confident
I’m not sure about the advantage of the investor that follows the news vs the passive one. Would’ve been a very good idea to DCA into BTC and ETH over time and ignoring all the fud. Timing markets is often times just an illusion. But my respects to anyone who sells tops and anticipates the market
Eth will outperform btc next bullrun.
Can’t go wrong with BTC and ETH
How bout you give me half of what you’re going to invest, I kick you in the nuts and we call it a day?
No but seriously I’m the confirmation bias you’re looking for I love ETH as a level 1. I like they take the time to properly develop, so I believe, verse coins that are rushing to try and pass opening them up to a higher rate of error
ETH is basically an ecosystem for new projects as well as a currency. I like it.
ETH is modern human ideals digitalized
ETH is a coin with an incredible amount of utility on top of being a store of value.
Eth for sure. The only two I buy are Btc and Eth. Everyone should have both.
Everywhere you will go in crypto space it’s pretty much on etherium.
I say, learn to think for yourself first and have conviction in whatever you think is the best course of action.
To the topic though; ETH is as real a deal as it can get in crypto.
eth bulls on parade
Not financial advice:
I started with Bitcoin and some other alts (ETH being one of them). I’m pleased that I still choose to DCA a portion into ETH. Your mileage may vary.
Smart choice
Most of us who transitioned to ETH were originally Bitcoiners. Many of us still advocate for holding some of both.
I went to Ethereum because I wanted a more useful Bitcoin. With every passing year since my jump from BTC to ETH in 2017, I have seen so much impressive progress and use cases I never would have imagined brought to ethereum.
It successfully went to PoS, so I’m now more happy than ever with my long term decision. We really won’t be able to keep looking away from the detrimental environmental effect of PoW systems, despite attempts to get all mining farms running off renewables.
Which, don’t get me wrong. The original idea of Bitcoin was that of rebellion against corrupted traditional finance. The transparent ledger and books that couldn’t be cooked. The static nature is both biggest strength and fatal flaw. I think we must all respect the original idea that took root in society, while also striving to improve upon that idea.
I’m mainly a BTC guy, but a solid percentage of my stack is ETH as well. As long as you stay away from the shitcoins, ETH is a solid bet.
Yeah, debating selling what little Alts I have and going all in on ETH and BTC. As somebody with a 10+ year time horizon that just seems like a relatively safe bet.
I think I’m ready to buy food
It’s been around for almost a decade. So called ‘eth killers” have constantly failed. It’s battle tested and has the highest chance of being globally adopted.
I only buy ETH above $3000
I’m laying off btc because of long term security concerns. To me, pos and tail ends emission is much more sustainable in the long run.
Eth will be king
I do 50% btc 50% eth (in $ values)
I was a “BTC Maximalist” back when this term even exist since 2015, then I converted all my Crypto into ETH in 2018, I still remember how I missed the ETH public sale :/
There’s so many debate we can do here to discuss why I think ETH have far more potential than BTC, but I think you can easily find similar discussion with a search, so I’ll just talk about one thing:
The BTC dominance have been slowly declining while ETH dominance is climbing steadily since its inception.

(Oh and I don’t like the idea that ASIC miner market is dominated by Antminer, sometimes I joke about bitcoin as Antminer coin)
I mean, unlike BTC, ETH actually could have real world application
There might not be as much tribalism if more people paid enough attention to see the different value props, same as OP.
Bitcoin is general use currency. Ethereum is general use.
World Computer & token economy. Ether is its liquidity layer.
BTC hedges against fiat’s uncertain future. Ethereum’s digital economy is building an alternative to the fiat system.
That’s basically it.
It was high time to decide
Really?
Personally I refuse to buy ETH for a few reasons.
They don’t have a withdraw button for staking. They didn’t even try to roll out a withdraw button at the same time as the merge after YEARS of preparation. Its like Hotel California. I prefer the UTXO and eUTXO models over the account balance model. Gas fees can get insane because of the account balance model.
There are censorship concerns due to giant validators ignoring ETH that interacted with tornadocash. 32 ETH minimum stake in addition to computer configurations with 24/7 uptime and good internet is hard for the average joe to secure the network. Due to that many average retail investors have decided to stake on a centralized exchange. People say “USE ROCKETPOOL!” but realistically that isn’t even ideal because you get rETH instead of ETH when you stake. If I stake I want the actual asset. I don’t want a derivative.
The pros to buying ETH are that it is by far the most adopted ecosystem. They have the first mover advantage in the Layer 1 blockchain space. Realistically its not going anywhere anytime soon. If you are a hippie obsessed with clean energy so much so that you are frothing at the mouth…It has less carbon emmissions than BTC. There are a lot of developers. Solidity is a very heavily adopted programming language. Eventually people will be able to withraw their ETH. They won’t say when but eventually. Censorship concerns are being addressed and will be solved eventually.
In the end it is up to you but this is just a few of the main reasons. I don’t want this post to be too long so I will stop here.
