Fascinating to see Eth slowly collapse, with only the truest of believers remaining faithful, and the rest of those chasing the "next hot thing" moving from Eth to Sol / BTC.
As a BTC maxi, (other than some really minor alt dabbling), I have seen shxxtcoiners come and go, and each cycle lessons are learned. And still each cycles, new shxxtcoiners emerge.
To me it sees clear, that BTC has won the global store of wealth / defence against declining fiat narrative. So, that leaves ETH (once touted as an "alt" to BTC's core function, with that battle totally lost, and battling and infinite number of "better than ETH-alts". BTC is finite, yet these "better than ETH-alts" are infinite. And reality is, very few of those types of "investors" really care about technical aspects. They simply are chasing a quick gain.
Who wins most out of this? BTC.
I have challenged shxxtcoiners in the past to prove that they can outperform BTC. They all claim they can. But very few actually do in the long run.
United with BTC we succeed. And divided with (infinite) shxxtcoins the shxxtcoiners fail.
ETH is losing traction fast because of its limited transaction capacity and lack of new projects being built on its platform. Solana is faster and has attracted developers into building new and exciting stuff for it. You can see why it's full of hype. Unless ETH devs fix on-chain scaling issues, don't expect market prices to go anywhere soon. ETH should've been worth at least $5k - $6k by now.
Of course, nothing can beat Bitcoin. It's the best-performing asset on Earth. BTC reached a new ATH, while ETH is still struggling to get back on its feet. I get why there are so many people who're Bitcoin maxis. That's because no other chain is as reliable and trusted as BTC. Altcoins may have shiny-new features, but they're much more volatile and less reliable. Even ETH is starting to become centralized. I'd expect BTC to remain "King" forever. It's the reserve currency of the crypto market, anyways. Each crypto has at least a BTC trading pair. They can't beat the real thing.
