The horizontal timeframe is for continuous learning, but some are currently indulging in frivolous pursuits like gaming, travel, and health maintenance! This bear market is different from previous ones; it's relentlessly testing our patience! As a long-term ETH holder ($eth), the only options right now, without disrupting my life, are to buy more and continue accumulating! Tom Lee keeps justifying himself; fellow ETH holders, hold onto your spot holdings and time. Give us three years, and the next narrative will be about the ERC mainnet. The times change unexpectedly. If ERC makes a big splash and its applications are implemented, we will all be winners! Remember ETH's powerful advantages: it's the underlying infrastructure for DeFi, stablecoins, RWA, and institutional tokenization. Currently, the vast majority of stablecoins and DeFi TVLs are on ETH and its L2. The Pectra upgrade (launched in 2025) has optimized staking and account abstraction, and upgrades like Glamsterdam in 2026 will further improve scalability and user experience. If institutions adopt ETH on a large scale as their "financial track," ratio expansion is inevitable. How high do you think it will go, fellow ETH fans? Standard Chartered predicts $7500. Tom Lee thinks $7000-$9000 by 2026. Motley Fool believes it may return to above $5000. Personally, I think ETH is likely to see a recovery, and I'm not expecting much, just reaching $5000 is a safe bet. 😂
