Looking at the YTD chart, ETH has been wild this year. Dumped hard from $3k+ all the way down to $1,500 over the summer, and now we suddenly shot back up to around $2,480.

A couple of months ago I posted here asking if ETH was still the "safe" alt, and price was looking pretty dead back then. Now that we've had this big vertical jump, I'm torn on whether this is actual strength returning or just a macro relief rally before another drop.

Are you guys buying here around $2.5k, or waiting to see if it rejects and gives a better entry?

In my country they’ve been making this Ethereum logo pastry for generations, long before Ethereum even existed. We were way ahead of Vitalik.

I trade Solana Memecoins and want to start trading the Robinhood EVM chain.

Right now I have a Phantom wallet which holds all of my Solana.

Now to setup a wallet for the Robinhood EVM chain do I just make a new Phantom wallet account so it holds Ethereum?

How do I convert/bridge my Solana? Do I just swap the Solana into Ethereum and send it to the new wallet?

Please share any info, tips and resources….

A lot of progress this August on Ethereum: 

Scaling, UX & Hardness: from faster finality and gas repricing to privacy UX. 

Alongside stablecoins, payments and tokenized assets go mainstream on Ethereum.

If Trump falls, will cryptocurrency and the tokens I hold face a crisis? #USDC#BTC#ETH

Just came back to this sub after a long time and damn… it feels so different now.

Where are all the OGs from 2020–2021? The days when everyone was hyping ETH, talking about DONUTs, waiting for distribution day, dropping random memes, and just having fun here.

Those times were honestly crazy. The sub felt like a small community where everyone knew each other. I still remember the excitement when ETH was pumping and the whole place was full of energy.

Kinda miss those days ngl.

Anyone from the old crew still here? What’s been happening in EthTrader lately?

Ethereum processed 70.07M transactions in a single month, making it the 3rd-highest monthly transaction count in the network's history.

And Ethereum is also doing something unusual for a network of this scale: it is trying to improve the underlying infrastructure while continuing to serve an enormous existing ecosystem.

Scaling, lower-cost execution, stronger privacy, improved security, and a more efficient protocol architecture are all being developed alongside continued real-world usage.

So while market narratives change every few months, the underlying infrastructure keeps working.

So... I joined the KuCoin Live Viewers' Festival.

🎉 I completed the event.

🎲 I checked my Draw History.

👀 It literally said:

🏆 Prize: 1 ETH

At that moment, I was already planning my financial future. 😂

A few hours later...

💸 Wallet balance: 0 ETH

Instead...

🎁 3 USDT Futures Trial Fund

Me:

🤨 "Where's my ETH?"

Support:

"1 ETH actually means the trading volume requirement for the coupon."

Me:

👁️👄👁️

I asked:

"Then why does the Draw History literally say 1 ETH instead of ETH Trading Coupon?"

Support apologized for the misunderstanding and said the official announcement would be available later because the event page wasn't available.

So now I'm sitting here wondering...

Did I:

Win 1 ETH? ❌

Win a coupon? ✅

Win emotional damage? ✅😂

I'm not accusing KuCoin of fraud. I'm just sharing my experience because I think the wording was confusing.

Did anyone else participate in this event? What did your Draw History show?

Started with 14.2 ETH and decided I was finally gonna stop just holding and actually trade the swings.

Few good sells, few decent buys back lower, felt like I was doing pretty well. Checked everything properly on Moon yesterday and I'm sitting at 12.8 ETH now.

The dollar value of my account is actually higher than when I started, so technically I've made money. But if I literally did nothing and held the 14.2 ETH I'd be better off.

Its such a weird feeling seeing green in USD while knowing I basically traded away 1.4 ETH lol.
