Ethereum has been bothering me for the past year. At some point, I needed cash and decided to liquidate it. If I remember correctly, it was around $3400 at that point. I was probably lucky in everything because after that, ETH just kept sinking.Frankly speaking based on my opinion too ,you're actually right. Based on the stats for quite a long time now, it's obvious that ethereum has actually been underperforming. There are a lot of things I believe is leading to it.
I currently have an almost insignificant amount, but I decided not to consider it an option when diversifying my portfolio. Will hold Ethereum only as long as I have to.

I was probably lucky in everything because after that, ETH just kept sinking.I saw an interesting analysis a couple of days back, ETH is the worst performing crypto in terms of returns compared with other top 30 or something marketcap values assets. It almost returned to the value of the previous cycle when bitcoin hit 100K mark and there seems to be no improvement.
I currently have an almost insignificant amount, but I decided not to consider it an option when diversifying my portfolio. Will hold Ethereum only as long as I have to.
I'm pretty sure Ethereum's best days are over, and it will at best stay at the value it has had for the last year.
Does anyone more experienced have any reasons why I might be thinking wrongly?

Probably one the best move you've done. I remember another investor doing the same thing and chose XRP as his next horse (I think this was before a court decision was made). As it turns out, he made the right call too. I guess it won't be long before Ethereum loses completely to Solana or other blockchains.Definitely. It would take a lot for Ethereum to gain enough hype and momentum for it to grow simultaneously with bitcoin just like it used to a couple of years back. Basically we should expect Ethereum to dip even more as time goes by.

I was probably lucky in everything because after that, ETH just kept sinking.Taking profits when the price is still rising and especially when we really need cash is a decision that does not need to be regretted. Everyone has their own journey, especially when there is an urgent need and this is the only way to do. Yes, we should be grateful because Ethereum helps us become one of the problem solvers when we are short of cash. And especially after that the price continues to sink, this makes us even more relieved.

ETH is no longer required for gas.https://x.com/MetaMask/status/1915465589646344653
But even further, you can now choose a token to use as gas for all of your MetaMask transactions.
But we also have to see what Ethereum will do next to make them able to rise again after this quite deep decline.Probably one the best move you've done.

It's more like what happens with most altcoins that gradually they begin to lose adoption and momentum too and boom they gradually fade away from the market.
btw. when we talk about Ethereum, I saw this from official metamask on X.
What does this exactly mean?
Is it really possible to use the Ethereum network for free?QuoteETH is no longer required for gas.https://x.com/MetaMask/status/1915465589646344653

Seems that you can use other tokens with value. I am trying to confirm this.Yes, you're right. The news is that Ethereum is no longer required for token transactions.
If you use metamask wallet you can pay with other coins. When you move value
So it is not free.
Usdc and usdt are acceptable.
So if i have 2 ETH to send,a person I can pay the fee in usdc or usdt
An interesting meme is circulating these days, which confirms that I am not the only one who thinks in this direction when it comes to Ethereum.
Ethereum still has an active community, an ETF, and some use cases, in addition to the potential for blockchain use in DeFi and stablecoins, but there is inevitably stiff competition from some altcoins.
Buying now wouldn't be a bad idea, as the price is nearly at its bottom, but Ethereum's value against Bitcoin is falling sharply, so Bitcoin is performing better than Ethereum, and it's not considered *diversification.*

I was probably lucky in everything because after that, ETH just kept sinking.I'm not intending to give any buy, hold, or sell advice for any tokens in the market, especially for an experienced investor in the market like you. I'm just sharing my perspective as a regular ETH holder.

Nobody would like to hodl any coin that is not making any price progression to hit another ATH while Bitcoin and some other top coins have given a new ATH this year and last year.

I agree with you sir, we just need move on still there are many chance in crypto space in coming future, some time we need learning from our mistake in the past and nothing wrong about it.Ethereum has been bothering me for the past year.

It was years back that I was a fan of Eth. Knowing that it has been stagnant at a particular range of price for years($1500k-$3500k) makes me dislike hodling it

I still have a large ethereum stash, bought at 300 in 2017.I won't give you any advice on what to do, it's just my experience that I've had a lot of luck with converting from ETH to BTC over time. I was tired of the fact that nothing happens or that it moves very slowly, one step forward and two steps back.
I sold some for 4k in 2021, and didn't sold anything in the current cycle
I am now considering selling some at 3500 zone ,if it ever comes back.
However, I don't see a clear replacement for ethereum. Solana looks just a memecoin hub to me, while important projects are still in ethereum chain.We'll see. And Ethereum started as a base for the ICO mania, which later turned into a scam. Today, ETH maintains several popular and widely used tokens like USDT. For example, a lot of work is being done on Solana now, there is a high probability that some useful token will be created in that pile.

I sold mine since last year around this April also. But I still do have a fraction of it not even importing that wallet anymore.It's a big disappointment indeed. I mean when Bitcoin's price goes up, Ethereum is just moving sideways, but when Bitcoin goes down, Ethereum goes down even more which makes Ethereum very disappointing to those who are holding it. Maybe one reason why Ethereum remained stagnant was the meme coin hype around Solana because the altcoin market became diluted, and a huge portion of money that's supposed to be invested into the top altcoins went into these new meme coins on Solana blockchain.
It was disappointing that price didn't go up after it pump more than 4k anymore and the more people saying something about it being POS makes me wanna send it all to USDT, I do have few ERC20 tokens though so if ever ETH goes 5k, these tokens might also be big as well. So I'm keeping these tokens still.
However, I don't see a clear replacement for ethereum. Solana looks just a memecoin hub to me, while important projects are still in ethereum chain.While Solana had some good projects, Ethereum is still at the top. Like you, I can't think of any altcoin that can replace Ethereum as a good long term to hold. Solana might be the closest, but not as close as many are thinking. It just became popular because of the meme coin hype around pump.fun.
