Those holding Ethereum are much like someone waiting for a message that never comes.
It hasn’t not risen.
Ethereum has indeed risen this round,
from January to July, from three thousand four to two thousand six,
if you say it didn't give opportunities, that's unfair.
But do you really think it’s impressive?
You know in your heart, it’s not.
You see $SOL, $SUI, $XRP charging like beasts,
You check on-chain data, look at L2 scaling, DeFi locked positions, Restaking popularity,
you comfort yourself: “All these will eventually converge back to Ethereum.”
But the number in your account tells you,
you hold consensus, not profit.
The feeling of investing in Ethereum this round is quite strange.
You haven't failed, but you also haven't won.
You didn’t miss the market, but you didn't partake in the frenzy either.
What’s most frustrating is,
you know it will rise sooner or later,
but you don’t know if it’s “tomorrow” or “next year.”
So you start to doubt,
whether you are really investing,
or just learning to miss out gracefully.
You want to run, but fear it will soar if you do,
you want to increase your position, but fear becoming more lonely with every purchase,
you try to convince yourself,
“this is the cost of faith.”
But you also start to understand,
if faith lingers too long without realization,
it turns into torment.
Ethereum is like that person you’ve been waiting for,
you believe they are busy, on their way, preparing to surprise you.
But every day you check your phone, see them posting on social media, updating their status,
yet they just don’t respond to you.
Are you still waiting?
I still am. Just not as excited anymore.
