I just realized i said ETH to $3 not ADA 
That extra buy was a good decision after all.
AVAX to $100 again would be insane too..

Think ETH is the vector to FINALLY see money spreading out to rest of the crypto market. Probably obvious to some, but the big dif this cycle is that the institutional BTC money never really spread out, because alt gamblers owned almost no BTC anymore. Liquidity moving into BTC was useless for alt traders. BTC.D is dropping because lots of new money is coming in, not because people are selling BTC for other things.
Now with institutions looking for bigger gains than BTC which is already 100k+, we finally move to them betting on ETH and they can start to compete with each other for stock market hype, and we finally get the nice alt market liquidity boost.
Seeing lots of narratives building about how ETH is better for institutions because you can stake and get yield, and it can generate revenues unlike BTC. Trying to sell shareholders on ETH staking returns and ETH price appreciation ... that's what probably ends up leading to a nice big crash and a cycle ending. BTC has slowly filtered out a lot of the gamblers and speculators as it matured. ETH has infinite rails for liquidity to flood in and out to the entire crypto gamble world and the crashes can be biblical still.
Have fun in the mean time
Don't forget to take profits. I personally don't think this ends without ETH hitting a new ATH.

AVAX usually follows SOL, so this is a good bet. Unless it is the impending ETFs for sol that are driving its momentum (which AVAX doesn't have).

Thought some here looking for actual value in crypto would enjoy this infographic I put together. It's fully sourced, verifiable, and represents the sad truth in alt "utility" coins.
Aside from casino chains and casino DEX, there are very few projects bringing real value to the token holder with verifiable network metrics and net-positive earnings. OriginTrail $TRAC is the ONLY one I've found that actually fits the description of a utility token that brings value to the token holder.

XRP never changes
But still probably worth buying some at the bottom of the next bear because there is just something magic about it that interests boomers. My mom actually asked me to buy some XRP for her

Fundamental value of stables? Being able to own "USD" without the physical paper. 2nd and 3rd world will benefit the most.
Plus its not a question of IF, its WHEN will people have that midset shift.
For someone in a 3rd world that can receive USD stable can go on chain and buy tesla, apple from xstocks without a intermediary... The future is here, this was the buzz back in 2021 but we didn't have regulation back then.

That’s ok, majority of people adopting internet didn’t understand it either, but was smart enough to see that the industry was moving that way.
Digital dollars, in a structure that can be used permissionless, instantly settled, for a fraction of cost. That’s when he will see the value.

I can't wait to be a market maker for stocks! Finally we can participate in income generating activities that we normally don't have access to.

Borrow any tokens using tokenized stocks as collateral. Earn interest from fees providing liquidity with these stocks. Pair them with yield bearing stablecoins or other coins for growth. Loop to leverage. Trade leveraged on chain using stables earning interest as collateral.
It’s just starting.

That's just one kingpin. I'll locate many more if you'd like.
Calvin Chrustie, senior partner at Critical Risk Team, says Canada’s legal framework needs to be 'radically reformed.' He explains that the current framework makes it incredibly difficult for security and intelligence officials to collaborate with entities abroad — and criminal networks are taking advantage of this.
