"ETH is going to zero!" "Ethereum is being crushed by Solana!" Did you cut your losses?
Chen Gongzi is checking whether Ethereum is a graveyard for retail investors or a wealth code?
After reading this article, you can save 200,000!
One, why is Ethereum being criticized so harshly? Why is it looked down upon?
1. Price plummeting, faith collapsing?
At the beginning of 2025, Ethereum dropped directly from $3700 to $1384, and the retail investors cried out. But Chen Gongzi tells you: what fell was the price, '& value! Bitcoin rose by 150% last year, while Ethereum only rose by 30%, why? Institutions are accumulating! Big players are waiting to buy the dip.
2. "Is the ecosystem collapsing?" Don't be misled! Some say Ethereum has lost ground to Solana and Avalanche. Nonsense! The Layer 2 explosion + DeFi 3.0 rise has made Ethereum's moats even deeper.
Two, Ethereum has these three major moats, but Chen Gongzi still does not look pessimistic.
1. Technical moat: The world's most hardcore 'blockchain operating system'.
Smart contract dominance: 90% of global DApps run on Ethereum, DeFi, NFTs, blockchain games… what can you play without it? The 2.0 upgrade is insane: PoS mechanism saves 99% energy, sharding technology enables instant transaction confirmations, fully implemented by 2025, performance beats all competitors.
2. Ecological hegemony: Who dares to touch my cake?
DeFi 3.0 revolution: Uniswap V5, Aave V4.. Protocol revenues surge by 300%, transaction fees all go to Ethereum, earning $10 billion a year is not a dream. NFT 2.0 explosion: From BAYC to gaming assets, Ethereum remains the only platform recognized by traditional giants (Nike, LV).
3. Regulatory game: Compliance is the ultimate weapon. The US SEC tacitly allows: over 20 Ethereum ETF applications, spot ETF. Once approved, it will definitely trigger a frenzy from institutions. The Trump family endorses: YWLFI project crazily hoarding ETH, both political and business circles are betting on its success.
Three, how should ordinary people operate? Uncle San's 'Three Strategies of Upper, Middle, and Lower'
Upper strategy: Regular investment + staking, lying down to earn interest. Invest $500 weekly: Buy cheap during a bear market, sell during a bull market; historical patterns never fail. Liquid staking: annualized 5%-8%, 10 times better than putting it in the bank, and you can still use ETH to play.
Middle strategy: Buy the dip on Layer 2 leaders Arbitrum, Optimism. Transaction fees as low as $0.01, in an ecological explosion period, an 80% chance of doubling.
Lower strategy: Quick in and out, don't touch contracts! Follow Bitcoin's trend to swing trade, buy the dip below $1500, run away when it hits $5000, set a strict stop-loss!
Four, Chen Gongzi warns that these three types of people should never touch ETH!
Gamblers staring at K-lines every day: Short-term fluctuations are like an ECG, the heart can't take it.
Retail investors who are superstitious about 'new chains': No matter how fast Solana is, can it surpass Ethereum's ecosystem?
Youngsters who don't understand compliance: Private OTC, playing with meme coins contracts, can get blacked out in a minute!
Ethereum is the 'Noah's Ark' of the crypto world.
Remember Chen Gongzi's words: Bull markets rely on faith, bear markets rely on understanding. The underlying logic of Ethereum hasn't changed, only market sentiment has. Those cutting their losses now will be the retail investors who will regret in the future! How much do you think Ethereum can reach by the end of the year? Share your thoughts in the comments. There are no experts in crypto, only winners and losers. Follow Chen Gongzi (a long-term holder of Ethereum) to avoid 99% of the pitfalls!
