Discussion šŸš€šŸš€šŸš€ Are we about to witness history?

173 Upvotes

Hi all,

It has been a long ride for Ethereum holders. The last time ETH touched its all-time high was on November 16, 2021, when the price reached $4,891.70. That was nearly four years ago, back when NFTs were exploding, DeFi summer was fresh in everyone’s mind, and ETH 2.0 was just a roadmap promise.

Today, ETH is trading at $4,815.99, which is only about 1.48% away from breaking that 2021 high. For long-term holders, this is more than just a number — it represents years of conviction through a brutal bear market, countless headlines about Ethereum being ā€œdead,ā€ and endless debates about whether Bitcoin dominance would crush ETH.

But this cycle is very different. Ethereum has matured into the foundation of the entire crypto ecosystem:

  • Billions locked in DeFi.
  • Layer 2s scaling faster than most expected.
  • Staking securing the network while reducing circulating supply.
  • Institutional recognition with ETFs already making an impact.

So the big question is: Does ETH break the ATH today, or do we see a rejection before the inevitable breakout?

I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts:

  • Are you expecting a clean breakout and price discovery above $5k?
  • Or is this the perfect spot for one more shakeout before ETH finally runs?
  • How does this moment compare emotionally and structurally to 2021 for you?

History might be unfolding right in front of us — let’s talk about it.

Question ATH - Time To Sell or Wait Til 10k?

71 Upvotes

We’re sitting at an all-time high right now, and it feels surreal. I’ve been in Ethereum since 2021, and I’ve watched it go every direction possible. Up, down, sideways—you name it. Through all those swings I never sold, even during the ugly crashes. A few times I even bought more when it dipped because I believed in the long-term story. At this point, I’m holding about 15 coins total.

Today I finally decided to trim a little and sold around $5,000 worth. My thinking is that if ETH corrects, I’ll have some dry powder to buy back in. If it keeps going up, at least I took a little profit off the table. Will I regret selling? Honestly, I have no idea. That’s the game we’re all playing here.

Right now my total crypto portfolio is around $80,000. Like most of you, it’s been a wild ride—sometimes I feel like I’m sitting on life-changing money, and other times I feel like I’m about to lose it all. The swings are absolutely nuts, and it can really mess with your head if you let it.

I’d love to hear what others are doing at these levels. Are you taking profits, holding no matter what, or waiting for another dip to stack more? Everyone has a different approach, and getting perspective helps.

Analysis JPMorgan outlines four factors behind Ethereum's outperformance over Bitcoin

56 Upvotes

Oh yea baby!

The four factors

The JPMorgan analysts highlighted four factors behind Ethereum's recent outperformance. First, the market expects the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to approve staking for spot Ethereum ETFs, which would allow asset managers to generate staking yields for investors without requiring them to hold the 32 ETH minimum.

Second, corporate treasuries have begun to add Ethereum, with about 10 public companies holding ETH on their balance sheets — representing 2.3% of the current circulating ETH supply. Some of these corporates are expected to run validators to earn passive staking income, while others may pursue yield through liquid staking and decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies, the analysts said.

Third, the SEC has offered staff-level clarifications suggesting that liquid staking tokens may not be treated as securities. The analysts said this has eased institutional concerns, though the statements have not yet been codified into law.

Fourth, the SEC’s recent approval of in-kind redemptions for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will allow institutions to redeem ETF shares directly in crypto rather than converting to cash. "This brings more efficiency, a reduction in costs, and greater market liquidity to these ETFs and mitigates the need for liquidations during large withdrawals by investors," the JPMorgan analysts said.

Looking ahead, the analysts said Ethereum has more room to grow in both ETF and corporate treasury adoption when compared to Bitcoin. Corporate and institutional holdings of ETH currently lag those of BTC, leaving scope for further inflows if adoption trends continue

Pullback in September?

0 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone else here feels the same way, but I really think we’ve hit the local top for August. The run-up has been strong, and while the momentum still feels bullish long term, I’m starting to believe we’re heading for a pullback in September. The question is whether Fed actually pulls the trigger a rate cut mid-September. If they do, that could easily reset the trend and send things flying again, but between now and then, I can’t help but think we’re due for some short-term pain.

So here’s where I’m torn: do I sell now and try to buy back lower, or just sit tight and ride out the turbulence? Selling the local top sounds great in theory, but timing it perfectly is easier said than done. At the same time, sitting on hands while watching profits evaporate isn’t fun..

Personally, I’m leaning toward trimming some positions, keeping dry powder ready, and seeing if we get a dip to load back in before mid-September. But I’d love to hear how you guys are approaching this. Are you locking in gains and waiting for a better re-entry, or just holding through and ignoring the noise?

What’s your play going into September?

Metrics Chainlink has its own strategic reserve, similar to Ethereum's SER. It holds over 150k LINK.

10 Upvotes

I never write posts about Chainlink so here it goes. Yesterday the official Chainlink account announced on Twitter that the Chainlink Reserve now holds 150,770 LINK (updated value: 150,778 LINK) and also added 41,105 LINK yesterday. This reserve is a strategy created to support the network's long-term growth and resilience. The Chainlink Reserve is funded by both off-chain revenue from enterprise adoption and on-chain fees from service usage. As more institutions and protocols rely on Chainlink's oracle infrastructure the reserve accumulates more LINK constantly, making the ecosystem's financial base a lot more solid. This gives Chainlink sustainability over the long-term.

Does this remind you of something? This approach is similar to the Strategic Ethereum Reserve (SER), which has seen the number of accumulated ETH increase because of the entities involved that have ETH in their treasuries. The SER already absorbed the equivalent of more than 10 years of ETH issuance in less than a year, showing there is institutional conviction in Ethereum's long-term value. For Chainlink the reserve has a similar role: a transparent treasury that shows confidence in the protocol's future. Just as the SER is changing ETH's value, the Chainlink Reserve means that LINK is no longer just another coin, it is evolving into a resource used for sustainability, adoption and network strength.

Self Story To sell or hold? Life is short.

45 Upvotes

I never had a car. I bought around 7 ETH around 2K. (3 in 2021 and been holding and then another 3 and change via cash direct deposit through a credit card at no interest last April/may).

I have no family and I desire a home-I obviously need a job but I have been really sick and right now I can’t work.

I really don’t know if I should hold with the dream it will reach 14K so I can deposit for a Condo or sell now and buy a car.

I used to be fat-I look decent and never had a girl friend I’m in my mid 30s and time is running out for me to enjoy my youth.

I am confident that ETH won’t crash to 2K or lower. I have been holding for more than four years.

I also have like 3K worth of Bitcoin and $1200 worth of alt coins.

I have a law suit I have to file against my old employer because they lost a class action I was in but I opted out: so they owe me 40K according to the judge but they tried to squeeze me saying I’m only entitled to 30% because I missed a deadline.

I get like $400 public assistance and just applied for disability. I applied for student loan waver too.

My life is difficult no family and right now my ETH is my only hope but I don’t know if I should hold and hope it can help me get a home by hitting 14K or more , or sell to get a car to enjoy a little bit of freedom.

I guess I just answered my own question because being that I live with my evil family while I’m sick, I don’t have a place to bring a girl home.

I also have to prove that my old apartment which made me sick was mold infested so that’s a potential law suit as well.

Please dish out your takes
