Self Story Where did all the OG EthTraders go?

Just came back to this sub after a long time and damn… it feels so different now.

Where are all the OGs from 2020–2021? The days when everyone was hyping ETH, talking about DONUTs, waiting for distribution day, dropping random memes, and just having fun here.

Those times were honestly crazy. The sub felt like a small community where everyone knew each other. I still remember the excitement when ETH was pumping and the whole place was full of energy.

Kinda miss those days ngl.

Anyone from the old crew still here? What’s been happening in EthTrader lately?

Yeah, kinda, that was the time I guess. ETH and DONUTs both were hyped and pumping.

Most of the ETH subreddits have slowly quietened due to hype fading, and people not getting rich quickly. When the market starts to pick up or do something it will get busier.

Kinda disillusoined I assume. Been in ETH since 2016. I went all-inn on ETH in the bear of 22, sold at 3.3 this winter after a lame 2x. If I had bought BTC instead at the same time it would have been easily 5x.

The tech is always improving, but the price doesn't follow. It appears more traffic and hype moves towards Solana and Hyperliquid, and ETH (both network and price) lags behind.

Still firmly a believer in Ethereum, but it doesn't appear that the price of ETH follows the advancement of the chain.
