I didn’t buy Ethereum in 2015. I wish I had.
What I did instead was spend years observing it watching it grow from an idea into infrastructure. By 2018, I was already involved in the markets, but mostly traditional ones. My job at the time gave me exposure to how institutions think. And while most dismissed crypto, I kept asking myself: What if Ethereum is misunderstood the same way the early internet was? I didn’t go all in. I started slow with money I could afford to hold for years. But as I saw the developer activity, the emergence of DeFi, and eventually NFTs, my conviction grew. Not because of hype, but because of network effect. Ethereum wasn’t just a coin it was a platform. Today, ETH is my core position in crypto. I hold it staked, I use it onchain, and I believe in its long-term role as digital infrastructure. It’s not perfect. Nothing is. But conviction, in investing, is about having a framework you trust enough to stick with through the noise.
Would love to hear:
What gave you conviction in ETH (or crypto in general)?
What would it take for you to hold for the next 5+ years?
