Ethereum's performance in 2025 did not disappoint. From $1,400 to $4,900, this rally allowed early investors to realize substantial profits. We were bullish on Ethereum when it was around $1,000, and gradually took profits as it approached $4,500. All operations are transparently recorded on the blockchain.
The same consistent strategy was applied during the bottoming around $3,000. We remain confident in Ethereum's opportunities in 2026 and are not swayed by external doubts (early skepticism was even greater, and everyone has seen the results).
What truly matters? Is that everyone can ultimately share in the benefits of this trend. Besides that, we will continue to build more projects and applications within the Ethereum ecosystem. For those still on the sidelines, persistence during the bear market often determines the heights of the bull market.

Damn, bought at 4500 now at 3000 to bottom out again? I really can't hold it anymore. Is this what they call "transparent on-chain records"?
Come on, insisting that a bear market determines the height of the bull market... Sounds nice, but isn't it just bullish hype and bottom fishing when the price drops?
What happened to the early skepticism? Please don't ask and answer yourself, okay?
Buying at 1000, selling at 4500, then bottoming out at 3000—this move is really something I can't tolerate.
I don't believe you, next time it rises again, you'll be bragging, "I told you so."

This wave was definitely worth the wait. If I had known earlier, I should have gone all in even more... But then again, clearing out to 3000 and re-entering? That's really bold.
There were indeed many doubting voices at the time, and now it feels pretty satisfying to prove them wrong haha.
Persistence is key. It's easy to talk about, but hard to do. It really depends on who can hold on the longest.

ngl the on-chain transparency flex is kinda sus when you're also shilling confidence in 2026... like yeah the numbers look clean but validator attrition during these swings usually tells a different story than what charts show, just saying

I've bragged about everything I could, but I haven't gotten it right even once.
From betting long at $1000 to $4900, how lucky do you have to be? Why didn't I have that luck?
Where are those who bought the dip at 3000 now? Waiting for a turnaround in 2026?
It's easy to say you stick to a bear market, but honestly, you're just trapped and can't sell.

1400 to 4900? I've already made my move long ago. I really missed out on this wave, and I feel a bit regretful.
---
I believe in on-chain transparency, so I just want to ask if it's still possible to get on board now...
---
Sticking to the bear market is too harsh a word. Damn, I'm still cutting losses in the bear market.
---
I also bought the dip at 3000, just waiting to see if it can double by 2026.
---
No, why are you guys always so accurate? I keep losing money no matter what I do.
---
Building an ecosystem + holding firmly, this approach is solid. Continuing to follow.
---
It's easy to say, but how many can really endure the bear market?
---
It's truly the end of the line for clearing out at 4500. Now I regret not buying in earlier.
---
What will happen if the doubts grow even louder? They’re making a killing, while we’re still pondering.
---
The opportunity in 2026? First, hold onto the ETH in your hands.
---
The phrase "riding the dividend" hits me the most. Feels like FOMO is about to kick in again.

Awesome, from buying the dip at over 1000 to now, this move is indeed fierce. But is it a bit late to enter now? Let’s see how it develops later.
---
Are all on-chain records transparent? That’s why I trust you guys, unlike some air projects.
---
The saying that the bear market determines the height of the bull market really hits home. So many people were criticizing back then, are they still criticizing now?
---
Wait, are you still buying the dip at 3000? That confidence is a bit outrageous, you must really believe in it.
---
I’m most interested in the ecosystem development. Can you reveal specific project names? I don’t want to miss out.
---
Honestly, early investors really made a lot. But now, the FOMO mentality needs to change; this isn’t like playing the lottery.
---
Did you all clear out at 4900? Now you’re back at 3000 and still stacking? I’m having a hard time keeping up with your pace.

Early investors who bought in at over $1000 indeed made a huge profit. Now they are only clearing out at $4500. This rhythm is playing it very safe.
Really, only those who don’t sell during the bear market can make money in the bull market. That’s true.
I’m also averaging down at $3000, just waiting to see how 2026 unfolds.
What’s the hype about transparent on-chain records? The key is still being able to make money.
Wow, from $1400 to $4900, this wave of the market really speaks for itself. Envious.
That phrase about sticking through the bear market really hits home. Many people just can’t endure it.
Building projects within the ecosystem is the long-term strategy; just speculating on coins isn’t very meaningful.

actually, per my analysis the on-chain data suggests otherwise on the "everyone profits" narrative... let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick. ngl the entry points you're listing aren't exactly taxonomically sound if we're doing proper risk stratification here

ngl the on-chain transparency flex is honestly the move... but 3000 spot buying right after 4500 exit? that's either conviction or the cleanest alpha leak i've seen all cycle lol

The group that started early definitely got the best deal, entering over 1000 and exiting at 4500. Their timing was perfect. But now, bottoming around 3000... I think they’re leaving an opportunity for latecomers to jump in, or maybe there’s another deeper meaning? Anyway, I’ve heard the “hold through the bear market” phrase several times, and it’s always the truth.
---
On-chain records are fully transparent, which definitely beats those who shout calls every day but dare not disclose their holdings. They fully sold at the 4900 top to escape the peak, and now they’re bottoming at 3000. The way they play this indicates they still have a lot of confidence in the future.
---
From 1400 to 4900, more than tripled... My damn salary at work hasn’t even grown that fast. Forget it, I’ll just keep focusing on my own investments and stop checking everyone else’s performance.
---
Is this bottoming at 3000 real? The market sentiment hasn’t fully recovered yet. Are you not afraid of getting cut again if you enter now? Maybe this is the real thinking of big players.
---
The idea of continuously building the ecosystem sounds great, but can reality keep up? Anyway, I’m optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term prospects. As for short-term fluctuations, I’ll just go with the flow.
