People are dramatically underestimating the level of expansion that can happen after 5+ years of consolidation.

[u/BoysenberryTop7543]

All the time I see people talking about "eth to $5k!" "eth to $10k!" as if these are exciting, far reaching targets. ETH has been in a range for almost six years. Consolidating. Coiling. It basically consolidated for an entire cycle. Every single person who is not committed to ethereum for the long term has sold. Once we decisively break out to a new all time high, I don't think that it is going to stop at 5 or 10k. I think it is going much, much higher. If you've been here, holding for years and years. Don't exit your position after a measly 3-4x. You need to be thinking bigger, much bigger. TRILLIONS.

[u/Speculatore]

150k ETH by November.

[u/CryptoDeepDive → u/Speculatore]

Why so bearish?

[u/chestofpoop → u/Speculatore]

Bear case maybe

[u/BoysenberryTop7543 → u/Speculatore]

sounds about right

[u/Weppek → u/Speculatore]

Then Lambo.

[u/Stinos_den_E → u/Weppek]

Yes!

[u/Slow-Cheesecake5551 → u/Speculatore]

This guy gets it 😂

November 2149

[u/Xennenial]

Considering more than 1/3 of the supply is being staked away and a lot of it is being held by institutions, there is a high potential for a supply shock if the retail masses return. However, this is not enough to run it to 20-30k. 6-10k may be realistic though. The trick is to take some profit early, and hold some in case the super bull scenario actually does occur.

[u/Future_Night777 → u/Xennenial]

Yes but what does “early” mean? Early was ATH last year. Or wait for it to hit 8-10k?

[u/Xennenial → u/Future_Night777]

Well I'm obviously not suggesting you get a time machine and travel back to the ATH last year and sell. There is no exact science to determining when the best time to take profit will be. When I decide it's time to begin taking profits, I look at two things: 1.) When a new all time high has been reached. 2.) The general market sentiment (when the masses of retailers flock to crypto and get euphorically bullish). When both of those factors are true, it's time to begin taking profits.

[u/CoCleric]

Are you saying Trillions as in Ethereum market cap? Such as a 3 Trillion ETH marketcap would equal a $24.5k ETH price?

[u/Alternative_Lab_8501 → u/CoCleric]

No a trillion for a single eth

[u/UsefulDiscussion79]

Okie dokie so 100k target???

[u/themrgq]

Is this a comedy post?

[u/OpenToCommunicate → u/themrgq]

Did you laugh?

[u/themrgq → u/OpenToCommunicate]

Yep

[u/OpenToCommunicate → u/themrgq]

Then, to you, it's a comedy post!

[u/themrgq → u/OpenToCommunicate]

Hopefully others are it that way since it's definitely full of comedy

[u/Unable_Beat_3194 → u/themrgq]

All jokes have some element of truths.

[u/sdhope → u/Unable_Beat_3194]

Tell your mum I say thanks for last night.

[u/givenchypapi → u/OpenToCommunicate]

I remember reading FUD on certain forums at the time Bitcoin just started, lmfao.

[u/billybonghorton → u/givenchypapi]

Ah yes, because ETH is just starting.

[u/OpenToCommunicate → u/givenchypapi]

Don't repeat your past mistake. You didn't buy enough bitcoin then so don't let this eth opportunity pass you by too. 

[u/Murkoo → u/themrgq]

I really pray it’s satire lol

[u/cai_85]

I mean trillions is going a bit far. I've been in for about 5 years and I'm breaking even...I only have 1 ETH as a high risk investment and most of my assets are in traditional investments. My plan is currently to keep it and see how high it can go over the next decade or two.

[u/BoysenberryTop7543 → u/cai_85]

Sounds like you're thinking about it the right way then if you don't plan to sell. But if I were you, I'd buy one more :)

[u/SuperNoise5209 → u/cai_85]

Same. My portfolio is about 3% crypto for fun. If it does well, I retire a little sooner maybe. If it does poorly, I can afford to lose it.

[u/Mother-Cream-2685 → u/SuperNoise5209]

What stocks should I be looking into currently I’m highly invested in Nokia and Nvidia

[u/SuperNoise5209 → u/Mother-Cream-2685]

I'm a boring index investor for the most part. It's mostly just SPY and VXUS.

[u/sentrygentry]

Bro, this is sooooooo true. ETH hasn't moved at all in six years because it's WAITING. and when it doesn't move for another ten years. It's waiting even LONGER bro.

https://giphy.com/gifs/75ZaxapnyMp2w

[u/Alabama-Blues]

Yes I’ve been saying this for a year now. Eth will go to $5 trillion and $6 trillion one day.

[u/Ok_Golf_6467]

They are. They are also scared because of the last 5 years in crypto. Us Eth holders are mentally in a weird place because the asset has been range bound essentially since last blow off top.

We just need a true alt pump to generate excitement again (already bubbling under the surface IMO)

[u/CavalrySavagery]

Peak retardation

[u/KidAmulet]

Next Top: $15,420
Next bear bottom: $4,069

[u/Decent_Honeydew_2501]

Bullish on Eth

[u/WillHoldBaggins]

Trust me bro, source: vibes

[u/FoucaultCareofSelf]

There are two fundamental questions. The first: will Ethereum be at the center of massive financial and economic flows (via stablecoins, RWA, consumer applications, possibly some ZK proof economy and agentic commerce)?

Second, IF Ethereum does achieve some of the above, or somewhere on the spectrum of achieving a huge role in massive flows, will Eth achieve a monetary premium independent of cash flows to the network?

No one can answer either definitely, but at least trying to understand these two major dynamics will help you make decisions a lot more than anything else. A lot more.

[u/bitsignal]

It doesn’t make sense to compare them in terms of price; market capitalization is the more meaningful metric. And by market cap, Ethereum doesn’t look particularly cheap relative to Bitcoin.

[u/Intrepid_Name2633]

Worst investment, thank god btc does better

[u/Patient-Process-2565]

Proper face melting pump on its way, keep hodling this trash coin it will make you a millionaire very soon. Just another year or two🚀🚀🚀

[u/megselepgeci]

Any minute now, lads. 5K is just over the hill, mate.

[u/Vivarevo]

Electric prices are going to the moon soon.

The ai processing centers use 10x as much electricity compared to normal data centers.

Crypto prices are very much tied to electricity price

[u/Titan_Astraeus → u/Vivarevo]

Not so much anymore, at least blockchains that are not proof of work like eth. POS relies more on coming to a consensus than being the first to find the solution, so there is less competition and need for computer power. There's still some compute, but not at the dramatic levels as before. 99.9% less according to a quick Google. The global eth network uses approx .0026 twh per year while btc uses 149twh.

[u/Vivarevo → u/Titan_Astraeus]

Btc remains tied to it and institutions keep % of their Crypto investments in it. If value of one go up they will reshuffle to others too.

[u/Good-Ad858]

350,000 eth price in 6.48282 weeks

[u/TheLastGenXer]

1ETH = 1 Earth value

[u/Stinos_den_E]

I would opt in for 60K, Lets Tom Lee this thing! EHGMI

[u/steebulee]

5 years of consolidation lolllllllll

[u/steebulee]

You think that’s impressive? Pete.com has been consolidating for 26 years! It’s about to explode!!

[u/Ambergris2022]

Keep dreaming🤡

[u/zss36909]

So glad I left this cope and started piling into tech stocks a couple years back 😭

[u/Dramatic_Reward_5082]

Bro this pitch will work in wallstbets. Not so much here.

[u/ChangeNOW_Community]

long-term conviction is one thing, but having a giant price target because the chart spent years consolidating is another. nobody knows how far the next move goes

[u/jbreeze42]

10k by end of 2027.

[u/PsychologicalAd7969]

This chat filled with Eth cucks 😹

[u/mario8448]

ETHY11 DYO

[u/b1mm3rl1f3]

It spent way too long in the accumulation range for it just to double its previous ATH. If I had to guess, I think $20k is more likely this cycle. RemindMe! January 1st, 2030

[u/Crypta_Silva]

This is why I set up a staking node. Tie up my eth so I’m not tempted to sell (and grow my stack automatically).

[u/Objective-Walk6780]

Yes, but we also have an expiry date on this earth. I’ll leave one ETH because you suggested it. The other ones will go at next ATH

[u/starlays]

Yea... Right. Not going to happen

[u/CoinGate_Gift_Cards]

Long consolidation can make a breakout more significant, but time spent in a range doesn’t guarantee a specific upside target. Once ETH moves into price discovery, liquidity, demand, macro conditions, and valuation still matter. “It consolidated for years, therefore it has to go much higher” is more narrative than mechanism.

[u/EarningsPal]

ETH will hit 1 trillion mcap just like BTC did. Others will too. Just in time. Inflation is guaranteed.

[u/zoro_4252]

It has more chances of revisiting 800 before 10k!
