Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua responded to his ETH long strategy:

  • Regarding "ETH below the last peak, BTC above the last peak?" Yi Lihua stated that this round is in a rate hike cycle, BTC has broken new highs, but the overall crypto market is underperforming; this is the toughest four years for crypto. In the upcoming rate cut cycle, he believes a crypto bull market can be expected, and ETH will outperform BTC, as historically, in several bull markets, ETH has outperformed BTC.
  • "Buying the dip around 3000 USD for ETH, worried about further declines in a bear market?" Yi Lihua believes the four-year cycle pattern has failed, and now is the best time to buy the dip in crypto, especially for ETH. There are huge opportunities in stablecoin and U.S. Treasury on-chain financial services, and ETH will be the biggest beneficiary. Regarding the safety of ETH leveraged positions, Yi Lihua stated that he is fully prepared and can repay most of the borrowed positions at any time; ETH prices above 1000 USD are absolutely safe.
  • "Why rush to buy the dip instead of waiting for lower prices?" Yi Lihua said that no one can accurately time the bottom, and the previous BTC bull market example also shows that the difference is not significant. The core is that the current area is already at the bottom; if you don't buy in, the market will still buy in, and the impact of institutional size on trends is limited. "How to view short-side KOLs mocking the bulls?" he stated that the market has both long and short positions coexisting, and if the viewpoints of all parties are reasonable, they will be referenced and learned from; extreme or low-quality exposure behaviors will be ignored.
  • "Frequent updates on Twitter shouting long for ETH, reason for clearing at 4500 USD?" Yi Lihua stated that he is long-term bullish on ETH, and clearing at 4500 USD is to address phase risks, with transparent operations, aimed at acquiring more ETH rather than offloading. He mentioned that the total market cap of ETH is 360 billion USD, and even as one of the largest ETH investors globally, it cannot influence the trend; everything should follow the trend.
