![[Weekly funding roundup May 31-June 6] VC inflow continues to remain stable](https://images.yourstory.com/cs/2/220356402d6d11e9aa979329348d4c3e/WeeklyFundingRoundupNewLogo1-1739546168054.jpg)
Everyone told me I was crazy for swapping all my ETH to BTC in January 2024. Today, I'm up 171%. ETH? Still down.
On January 24, 2024, I made a decision that many people around me called a huge mistake. I sold 100% of my ETH holdings and swapped everything into Bitcoin. At the time, BTC was trading around $39,000. ETH was about $2,900. To most of my friends and family, this move made no sense. They told me Ethereum had more upside, more innovation, more "potential." Smart contracts, DeFi, staking.... I heard it all. But I had spent months reflecting, researching, and watching how the market behaved in uncertainty. In the end, I didn’t care about hype, roadmaps, or narratives. I wanted something simple: Hard money. Sound money. Immutable value. And Bitcoin was the only asset that fit that definition. Fast forward to today: Bitcoin is up ~171% since I made the swap. Ethereum? Still down around 10% over the same period. That one move turned out to be life-changing. Not just financially, but mentally. It taught me to trust my conviction over the noise. To zoom out and to play the long game. I’m not saying ETH is bad. I’m just saying BTC was better for me at the time, and the results speak for themselves. submitted by /u/hb1104 [link] [comments]
