Is ETH Dead? or is it an good time to buy it?

[Azorx]

What do you guys think about the price action of ETH? It didn't make an higher high while bitcoin did, and the price of eth is crashing harder then btc. Is it an good buy or will eth slowly die?

[Charles-Tim]

I will prefer to buy bitcoin instead. It may not be a single buy, but it can be DCA.

I do not trust altcoins, but I think that ethereum will get to $5000 in the next bull market. Buying it now will be profitable. But I do not see any good hold reason I should buy ethereum when there is bitcoin.

I know ethereum will go above $5000, but I do not know if it will find it hard to go above $500 billion marketcap market.

I don't think that Ethereum will be dead it is just going through a crisis which can be resolved or not, I think that we need to give it more time before we can conclude a total downfall for it, it can recover but I don't expect a speedy one based on all the recent news about it. For investors who are into altcoins I believe that this is a good time to grab as much eth as you can ofcourse with amount that you can easily give away to minimize your risks because you never can tell where it is headed.

If you're not convinced about the potentials of Ethereum to bounce back then better don't buy it because you need to put your money where your mind is, there is always Bitcoin which has a stronger potentials and despite that it is also not bullish now you can buy it and go to sleep with your two eyes closed.

Can't say, what is going to happen next.

But the dump is growing stronger each day. Eth started it's dump even before Bitcoin join and now we can see that they both are in a continued bearish trend.

It's not dead but buying eth won't be a bad idea, depends on your reasons for buying. I will agree with what other user said, I will rather just buy Bitcoin instead of Eth. I trust Bitcoin to continue it's trend later, but eth is an alt coins the chances will be low.

Whatever choice you do make, you should understand why you are investing in eth or Bitcoin.

Look at this for many time ETH has been declared dead https://blockchain.news/flashnews/eth-dead-claims-hit-146-while-eth-price-jumps-65-yoy-in-2025

Also look here on how many times Bitcoin has been declared dead https://bitcoindeaths.com/about

But despite of those announcement they made, still both coins running good. But if you think about buying for the purpose of holding it for long term, much better to choose Bitcoin than any other altcoins out there.

Many altcoins across the board made new all time lows today. Ethereum didn't. it may look weak because the whole market is weak but it's relatively strong. fundamentals are as strong as ever too. i don't know how long it will take to bottom out but Ether doesn't look more dead than any other coin except maybe HYPE and a couple others.

While many investors are gradually losing confidence in ETH and moving away from it. Tom Lee's BitMine company is still openly and actively accumulating ETH despite the crises surrounding it that have frightened many people.
As you can see, everyone has different vision and belief about this market.

Therefore, whether or not to invest in ETH ultimately depends on you. No one can decide for you, and no one knows what will happen.

Personally I would prefer to buy bitcoin, instead of buying ETH, for sometimes now I have seen how ETH keeps decreasing drastically, I don’t even think that now is the right time to buy any altcoins, because most of the altcoins usually depends on Bitcoin to thrive now that we have a situation where Bitcoin is coming down then ETH usually comes down as well, people who knows what is happening and how the cryptocurrency markets works will definitely know that now isn’t the right time to buy and altcoin, the cryptocurrency market depends on bitcoin to thrive maybe, when bitcoin goes up other altcoins goes up as well, and when bitcoin goes down other cryptocurrencies goes down as well.
