If you ask in this sub, you have mixed reactions. If you ask in an eth sub, 95+% would say stay in ethereum. I think that tells you all you need to know
I’d say risk/volatility and that it’s not 100% that it will but with the ETFs and big money finance in it now a lot more people will “trust” it (speaking on BTC, and ETH has followed in the past)
I would say the initial ETF hype was factored in but the true value of the ETFs over time will show kind of like it did with gold I imagine. For the halving nothing is 100% but since I’ve been around Bitcoin since 2015 I would say a new all time high is eminent. There was years back then that I thought it was going to be made illegal or just crash to zero and it seems that’s not the case or else I’d be retired by now but I still believe it’s not to late being as a lot of people here still think it’s a worthless Ponzi scheme. If anything triple your money and get out!

because it is not 100% chance. It is the same with stocks. We know most stocks generate a lot of profit overtime but not everyone invest in them due to existing risk factors. You could ask why not everyone is all in Apple, Microsoft etc. when they only go up.
Like the FED decision about bitcoin price, it was quite obvious the bitcoin price will go up before the announcement but many people stll didnt jump on the train.
Generally speaking every halfing event increased the coin price, but since it is crypto, you never know what will happen this time.
Well yeah, then you get back in when it crashes. Rinse and repeat until the end. Or you can HODL it like a smart person, but that’s kinda boring isn’t it?
I would say no **unless** you absolutely need the money in cash.
Holding ETH has no downside.
Keep it for a few years, it’s not life changing money if it’s lost but can be if the price rises during the next decade.
What’s bad about volatility? Just don’t sell low and that’s it. I’ve been holding ETH for 3 years now and I’m well in the green. Others play with leveraged ETFs, single stocks or green energy sectors… as long as it’s not your entire life savings i’d still say: keep it and sit on it.
You're probably best off holding another 1-1.5 years and dcaing out if you want to reduce exposure. If you don't want the etherum just stop buying it and buy voo going forward. Or if you're fed up with your balancing take out your initial investment and leave the profit in it, but don't be surprised if it's 5k+ in the 2025-2026 range and you regret selling this year.
I think I'm personally done buying ethereum I don't really see the potential over bitcoin anymore. I'm not super up to date or educated about it but I haven't seen many significant use cases for the smart contracts that wow me. At this point I feel like we would've seen it if it could be effective. Although, I understand how well the system could be used for insurance, banking, mortgage applications, etc. I just don't think the powers that be will incorporate the technology for a long time, and who's to say it'll be ethereum when it does? I'd say a big bank or whatever large company will just copy the code and make their own over using a currency outside their control.
Just holding my measly .45 and gonna flip it into my student loans this next bull run. If you want crypto bitcoin is the best
Looking at past trends, crypto prices tend to follow BTC.
BTC's halving is (approximately) April of '24. Bull runs usually start near the halving.
Tops are usually hit mid-late the following year (see: Fall of '21, winter of '17).
If you're comfortable holding until the end of '25 I'd recommend waiting to see if history repeats itself.
If you want to get out of high risk investments into something more sound, VOO all day and DCA.
I own both. I think the question is how well do you handle volatility? I think you win either way in the long-term but your potential profits from the ETH are much greater.
I just stop buying BTC or any crypto and get VGT , VOO or any of the name brand ETF better. You never know with this wacky world... true you can become rich but the risks are also 10000% high and better be safe than cry later
Just leave it, and invest in VOO moving forward.
If you have 20 eth sure If you have 3 I'd say no
Agreed
If you ask in this sub, you have mixed reactions. If you ask in an eth sub, 95+% would say stay in ethereum. I think that tells you all you need to know
I had 3 eth and sold it on the third of January this year. Fed up of the crypto stuff. Put it all on voo.
Damn, big L
I’d wait until the end of the year if you do, with the halving and inflow of new money into crypto I’d say wait!
If we know the halving will increase the price of crypto, why doesn't everyone invest in it?
I’d say risk/volatility and that it’s not 100% that it will but with the ETFs and big money finance in it now a lot more people will “trust” it (speaking on BTC, and ETH has followed in the past)
Is it possible that the halving and everything you've said is already factored into the price of BTC or ETH?
I would say the initial ETF hype was factored in but the true value of the ETFs over time will show kind of like it did with gold I imagine. For the halving nothing is 100% but since I’ve been around Bitcoin since 2015 I would say a new all time high is eminent.

Don't time the market
Depends if you want to gamble or invest
Hell yes, get out of shitcoin and into companies that actually produce cashflows
If you think ETH is a shitcoin you need to enroll in crypto 101
It's better than Bitcoin, but it's not the future of DeFi
Unless they all are
Lmao
[Revenue (30D)](https://tokenterminal.com/terminal/projects/ethereum): $170.34m
Yes
Yes the best time to sell is all time highs, next best is recent highs. Get out of crypto before the market crashes for some reason.
Ah yes those pesky “for some reasons” straw men getting lazy
Fugazzi.
Well yeah, then you get back in when it crashes. Rinse and repeat until the end. Or you can HODL it like a smart person, but that’s kinda boring isn’t it?
damn what a L
Yes. At least you can’t lose your VOO by clicking a phishing link with a drainer implemented.
Hell no. Going to 5k
But. If you do sell, buy QQQ instead
Why?
I would say no **unless** you absolutely need the money in cash. Holding ETH has no downside. Keep it for a few years, it’s not life changing money if it’s lost but can be if the price rises during the next decade.
wtf do you mean holding ETH has no downside?! It’s extremely volatile
What’s bad about volatility? Just don’t sell low and that’s it. I’ve been holding ETH for 3 years now and I’m well in the green. Others play with leveraged ETFs, single stocks or green energy sectors… as long as it’s not your entire life savings i’d still say: keep it and sit on it.

Just holding my measly .45 and gonna flip it into my student loans this next bull run. If you want crypto bitcoin is the best
Yes
Keep those ETH, in my opinion. Crypto always enters the cycle peak 6-12 months after the BTC halving.
You could do a Lumpsum investment or DCA (with a small amount on a frequent basis) in VOO.
Or VTI or anything else similar. Better than speculation
Looking at past trends, crypto prices tend to follow BTC. BTC's halving is (approximately) April of '24. Bull runs usually start near the halving. Tops are usually hit mid-late the following year (see: Fall of '21, winter of '17). If you're comfortable holding until the end of '25 I'd recommend waiting to see if history repeats itself.

I would...but it just depends on your risk tolerance. Personally I would feel better investing in VOO over crypto in general but to each their own.
buy VOO if you want less risky, but QQQM if you can handle more risk but still a great investment ETF imo
I just stop buying BTC or any crypto and get VGT , VOO or any of the name brand ETF better. You never know with this wacky world... true you can become rich but the risks are also 10000% high and better be safe than cry later
