Wrong, Ethereum isn't a safe token and can be trusted without you know the token. If you check it more deeply, Ethereum's developers are holding a lot premined ETH to enrich themselves. With the move from POW to POS, this make ETH become more centralized.
No matter how we look at it, after BTC, the next available coin to be trusted is Ethereum. Forget all the stories of centralisation and the rest, a common man investing in either BTC or ETH does not care if it is decentralized or not, what they want is the profit of their investment in a short or long term.
Talking about the alleged pre-mined ETH, doe it in any way stop the price of ETH from rising when it's supposed to? If you were to be the creator of ETH, will you not premine some coins for yourself?
Have you checked the Satoshi addresses, what do you have to say about the amount of BTC in the addresses?
In summary, Ethereum has proven to be the king of Altcoins and is widely trusted.
