You have probably seen that $ETH has been printing red for six consecutive months. This hasn't happened since 2018, when it printed seven. Personally, I don't bother searching for the absolute bottom of $ETH and waiting for it to drop to 1k or to reach three digits. I am starting to accumulate now, as I believe that a decline of over 50% from the ATH is sufficient to do so. As I have mentioned before, I consider ETH a good option for compounded profit if you manage to generate some gains during this period through trading, memecoins, or airdrops. Why? Because if you invest $100 into something that doubles, and then you take all the money and put it into $ETH and it reaches ATH, you've made x2 + x2 ( at minimum, which is x4, and I think that is more than enough.
