Another ATH today, over $1900. Starting to think it's more likely than not that we will see $2000 within a week or two. Not sure about anyone else but I have far higher confidence this time that the coins are here to stay and might keep going up (mostly / longer term) than I was during the previous bull run in late 2017 / early 2018

48 hours later lol.

Anyone have targets for Eth in the near future?

There's no doubt in the world but that crypto is here to stay. Getting beyond that, it will be a question of which are the category leaders that survive and grow/continue to grow exponentially. 90% of these projects otherwise will have to wither and die. We have not seen much of that happen just yet but you'd imagine that process will have to start to figure itself out between now and the end of the next cycle.

Have a few sells in at 2160 and 2250.
Not high volumes but just a little profit taking of it gets there.

ETH is a monster, but I do worry that alternative chains may overtake or at least achieve a parity of developers and projects with the delay to ETH 2.0.

BNB looks to be filling that role at the mo, but ETH has left competition behind in the past, NEO, QTUM and others spring to mind.
But, ETH still rules the roost for now at least.

There needs to be action on fees other than reliance on 2nd layer options tho IMO.
Fees are the bane of ETH currently.

€2500-3000 is reasonable I think.

Just like 2018 the whole market will crash this year

In the meantime alts will rocket

I still don't get why you think the 4 year cycle is becoming 3 years. In a year where the richest man on earth just plunged $1.5b into a sh!tcoin and investment funds are gobbling BTC supply up to $35k.

Absolute joke to be honest!

Can't be helped until EIP 1559 is implemented, high spenders are currently willingly paying well over the odds to be included in a block asap which cumulatively drags the tx cost way up for others as the price races up.

It'll be interesting to see what effect sharding has whenever it arrives, there'll be a balancing act because now all of a sudden the network can handle 64x times the transactions so fees will go down - until there are 64x times the amount of transactions on layer 1 as there are now.

I wouldnt say crash, but I do think BTC will top out late late this year while alts will continue to maybe Feb/Mar 22

Sh1tcoin? Tesla purchased BTC. Not DOGE.

No ill feelings meant (although I would prefer if BTC was usable at scale), I call them all sh!tcoins. It's like a pet name at this stage so when family or friends ask about it I refer to them all as sh!tcoins. They start asking about it all when prices rise & the main advice I've given to them has been
"Are you prepared to watch €10k turn into €1k?"
Because they don't care abut the idea, only the boom. I could afford the risk a few years ago, most people I know can't. Most people I know who could afford it don't deserve it cos they still think it's a ponzi.

I see Coinbase are going to give 8.5% interest on Ethereum.

Up to 7.5%, and they take a commission on all rewards.

25% staking commission according to: https://www.coinbase.com/legal/user_agreement

Hitting ATH's today.

Not far off €2k

Thargor

Powering ahead now...

Berlin fork due today/ tomorrow should reduce the gas fees significantly. ETH should take off then if all goes okay. Seeing the early signs already.

I think it's the London fork that will do that. Berin fork just happened there

Thargor

Wow $3k ETH nearly here already, anybody thinking of selling?

If this goes to ATH v BTC value, we are looking at 5k min.

Watch for a pull back at 3k with support at 2700

Not anytime soon, ETH is too valuable, maybe some when it gets to $7-8k+

Thargor

Through $3k and holding so far, historic day.

Where do ye think it will get to this year?

If it hit 100k or fell to $100 it wouldn't surprise me.

Just take out enough for a Ferrari every so often and enjoy the fun.

To the moon.

In a seriousness if it got to 10K I'd be be ecstatic. It would give me the money I need to afford a much nice apartment then I can atm.

Nothing make or break for me really, have my gaming PC mining away when not in use so I'm not investing much into it, although it is tempting.

Grumpypants

If it got to €4-5000 it would be back in line with how it lined up with bitcoin at the last peak.

Yep, I think it has quite a bit to go on this bull run

Everyone has different investment amounts and end goal wants. I only have smaller amounts invested compared to others but have put in enough over the last couple of years. Just enjoying the ride really.

If I get a nice packet out of it in a few years, then it's all welcome and can get a nice long expensive holiday. To me that's great. If I end up selling it all for 100e, I never lost the bollocks so can count myself lucky.

Michael_Res1

Good chance this bull run that ETH will go to $5 to $7k. Since its mooning, as a short term play i'd be tempted to sell some eth into another altcoin. Always have about 20 per cent of my bags for short term oppurtunity plays on an altcoin that's how I learn in this bull market. But probably best to just hold.

Potatoeman

Anyone holding ETC? It’s gone 16x since Jan, doubled today. Sold some not, sure how much I should hold.

Stupid question incoming

If I wanted to transfer some ETH into another currency that I think will out grow it in the short term (link), and then at a later date transfer it back to ETH.

Do you just sell the ETH for euros and then buy the LINK in Euros?

Or do you need to trade currency for currency?

Disclaimer: yes I am this stupid

Depends on the exchange, they usually have a convert option when you click on a currency you own but you need the check the fees, they vary.

Thanks for the reply, I'm on binance

djan

Cheapest method would be to sell ETH to a coin that also has a trading pair with LINK. So for example ETH -> BTC -> LINK.

The direct swap feature as mentioned may be possible too but would incur higher fees as the exchange does the above transaction in the background for you.

Edit: scratch that, in the case of LINK, Binance has a direct pair with ETH.

Limited options as the transfer fee is where they make their money.

You can buy link with eth on binance

Do not under any circumstances, trade your ETH for Link

Is Ethereum available to purchase on DeGiro? I've searched for it, but I'm only finding options in the range of €28.10/share or Vaneck Ethereum ETN29 for example?

Short answer is no. You can't buy crypto directly on Degiro.

You could possibly buy into Ether Capital Corp, ticker 2KV on degiro, a canadian ethereum investment company, but has only 2 employess officially, at €3.30 per share, mightbe worth a look into

ETH just broke €3000.

Eth is a sexy beast

Thargor

I knew this day would come, just wish I'd been a little bit braver during the 2017 and Covid collapses. Still though, onwards to 4k.

Thargor

All time chart looks like its going straight vertical now

This is getting very parabolic now!
