How many have Ethereum on their prorfolio?

[Bureau]

Just being curious here. I want to ask everyone here, how many of you have either 100% portfolio dedication to Ethereum or 50% dedicated to it. In general, how much you owe to this guy for your success in crypto business.



Waiting for your replies.

Thanks.

There may be a lot of Indian cryptocurrency community members who have invested heavily either in Ethereum or in its ecosystem. I had once read that the Ethereum ecosystem is many times bigger than the Ethereum market cap. I have some coins from the Ethereum ecosystem and some Ethereum as fuel. I am confident that many from the Bitcoin Indian community have invested heavily in Ethereum, and some might be profiting from the ecosystem.

I believe Bitcoin would be the biggest percentage wise in the portfolio of most of us. We are here because we love Bitcoin and want to earn more Bitcoin. Some of us might have invested, before 2017 when Bitcoin was dirt cheap and some of us might be still in accumulation mode regardless of its price. In 2023 it is just like how our families in the past would accumulate gold for the worst time.  Although, gold gets more preference than Bitcoin in India because of the negative environment created by the government and due to a lack of knowledge. I feel with the next bull run the mindset of an average Indian belonging to the middle class and the upper class would change drastically.

I am all into Bitcoin! I do not need anything else when I have the father of all cryptocurrency. I agree with your point that the Ethereum ecosystem is much bigger than Ethereum itself. It was designed in a way that can enable other projects to utilize its Blockchain. Its ecosystem is the reason why Ethereum grew so much in a short span of time. Vitalik is a poster boy of the ecosystem still it he will not be able to get as much popularity as Satoshi has by staying anonymous.

I have it. Just a random 15% of my portfolio, simple logic is that it ain't a shit coin it has delivered what it was made for and even delivered much more than that. Talking it in this way this guy has actually made a big impact on the crypto industry as a whole. I used to feel that on day Eth will surely take over bitcoin in terms of price and market cap, this was the time when I added it into my folio, now I highly doubt this would happen but still a worthy investment.

As @pakhitheboss mentioned that Ethereum ecosystem is much bigger than Ethereum marketcap and that is the reason why ETH is on #2.
It's my favorite coin after bitcoin and has become a significant portion in my portfolio.
It would have been more fun if we had declared at what price we got it.

I doubt anyone would reveal at what price point they bought. It is a trade secret 😁. I was looking at Solana and found it to be similar. What do you think about it?

I have longed it at ~$1.5k, with liquidation price around $1k, I don't expect it go this lower, hopefully it doesn't

I really liked Solana technology and the ecosystem and had invested heavily into it but the frequent outages made me quit.
A blockchain shouldn't be halted and restarted just like that and Solana did it quite a few times already.
Although the technology is great but the way they are handling it is really bad and this made me quite Solana.
I don't plan on to invest heavily in it again.

In a lot of ways, Solana is better than Ethereum and that was the reason it got good support initially. They were going well earlier but the way the team is handling the project now does not make any sense in investing in that project. There was a time when it was trading at a price of $260 at the moment it is down by 93% and I do not think it will go up anytime soon. It is a possibility that the next Bitcoin bull market might recover the price.

Bitcoin and Ethereum were created for entirely different purposes and they are indeed serving the targeted audience instead of shitcoins which has been created just to lure the maximum money from investors. Cryptocurrency market as we know today have outgrown only because of the builders who were present on Ethereum and not on Bitcoin. Bitcoin on the other hand, never allows the developers to build solutions on top of the currency unlike Ethereum which has been created for the sole purpose of improving the usability of cryptocurrencies other than using them as a mere currency as opposed to the governments.

I have been a hardcore Bitcoin enthusiast in the past and I would like to admit that sadly, but after learning about the technicalities of Ethereum back in 2020 and becoming a Smart Contract Developer recently my respect towards the Ethereum community has risen significantly. Ethereum was never meant to be used as a Digital Gold and stacking them would never be as fruitful or profitable as Bitcoin since Bitcoin is finite and never rises up in supply unlike other Smart Contract currencies such as ETH, BNB, SOL or MATIC which acts as a fuel for the smart contract platforms.

They were going well earlier but the way the team is handling the project now does not make any sense in investing in that project.

Just like the rivalry between Microsoft and Apple in the early 90s where Mac would be announcing and designing entirely the opposite of what Windows does, Ethereum and Solana have become the rivals in Web3.0 space but right at the moment the development and community support on Ethereum is insanely high which cannot be compared towards the Solana community. To fuel this forward, after the shocking demise of FTX last year the inflow of funds from investors have gone down significantly which has caused a greater dent in the developer community of Solana. Even Ethereum was down badly by 90% in 2018 bear market but they were never really affected by any external sources such as how FTX played the game in pumping their Solana Bag. Almost 90% of the innovations happen only on Ethereum and Solana is lagging behind and as you stated, there needs to be greater catalyst for Solana to move forward in the next run.

I believed the same back when I was a part of the Solana community. I was even holding it when it was around $250 but sadly I kept holding all the way until the end of the crash.
Just when I thought it's not really worth it to invest in a blockchain that restarts frequently I sold it for a loss under $30 and bought more ETH.
I am not sad with my decision and I hope the next bull run gets me great profits from ETH.

Isn't Solana blockchain being used for gaming? This recent development should improve the current price of Solana in the future, you should have kept holding it. They have the NFT marketplace, where trading is far cheaper than the Ethereum marketplace. As you have already sold it, then I am sorry for the loss as $250 is a big amount considering it was the price of 1 SOL.

As if I don't know the capabilities of Solana. I am well aware of the technology as I only invest in something after a thorough research.
I was not willing to sell it but whats the use of a blockchain technology if it cannot be trusted.
I believe we should only invest in coins which we trust in and I lost my trust on Solana and hence I sold it.
I really don't care about the loss now because I believe I will recover it in the bull run.

ETH makes about 20% of my crypto portfolio. Majority of them are earned during the initial golden days of ICOs. I had joined a lot of bounty campaigns that time and made a good amount of ETH. But unfortunately I have sold a lot of them. But I am not actually investing in ETH to be honest. All of my ETH holding comes from bounty.

I personally believe that ETH is the second most desirable cryptocurrency in the market.

In the golden days of ICO, all projects were based on Ethereum Blockchain and that is why you have a good amount of Ethereum in your pocket. At any ICO comes out everyone wanted a part of it and therefore bounties were a good source of extra income. Ethereum ecosystem is what makes ETH desirable as without ETH those tokens from the ecosystem are useless. The copied version of Ethereum which is BNB is the third most desirable cryptocurrency in the market due its ecosystem.

I rarely invest in crypto either; it's all just comes from side earning. I also earned a lot of ether from bounties but didn't actually convert those alts into eth/btc to secure profits, eventually they all bit the dust (or some stupid decisions like selling aave early, back then it was called ethlend), hence losing most of eth.

I personally like it over btc even as long as it's gas prices are decent enough

Even I had got ETHLEND out of nowhere. I just opened my wallet one day and found there were these coins. I just ignored it thinking its one of those shitcoins.
After few years I noticed its dollar value had increased significantly and by that time it had converted to AAVE. So I just sold all of them and got around $300.
Now that's a decent amount getting for free.

Back in '17 money was coming out of thin air whether it be bounties or airdrops, I'd compare that time with today's retrospective airdrops, just for giving your wallet address you used to get token's worth hundreds to thousands dollars.

Ohh I remember those were the days. I even remember Uniswap airdropping and uni later turned into a beast of a coin ranging to new highs everyday. I think Uniswap and Ethland were amongst the major coins which made you money out of of thin air. Ethland caught the steam when metaverse token became a thing until then for a long time it was nothing but a shitcoin sitting in your wallet.

That's incorrect, time I'm talking about is '17 where obvious shitcoins like ebtc, eETH, dash gold — used to give you money. Uniswap and retrospective airdrop trend started in late 2020.

Ethland caught the steam when metaverse token became a thing until then for a long time it was nothing but a shitcoin sitting in your wallet.

More like when defi caught the steam, and it was never a shitcoin, they had constant updates and had product ready long before the rebrand happened. Check the ann here.
