I do think ETH will be fine, I just struggle with the case for owning it vs BTC/SOL, and haven’t heard a good case for why it’s bullish *against* those assets. We saw like a week post-election where it outperformed, and then ETHBTC got sent back down to new lows. Would be keen to hear a material case for ETHBTC or ETHSOL being green over the next 1y

BTC still has no solution for electronic waste. People in my proximity care about that. ETH ultrasound narrative hasn't caught on in mainstream or even near mainstream audience. Base is a prime example how well everything works and how easy it is to move funds, buy and use stuff.

Eth is not considered decentralized and as such not a unit safe of exchange for the digital 21 century. Why would I exchange my BTC for Eth then? We already have the Dollar and Euro that could theoretically do the same thing as the digital euro is coming in 2026.

ETFs and costs of mining farms threaten decentralisation of BTC. ETH being able to change requirements for nodes offer a solution that BTC/POW couldn't. Also: Because I know you care about the environment and like efficiency. Destroying 1 iPhone per transaction is not in line with that and at one point you'll ask yourself: We are destroying our planet for that?

#1 I try to unwind: 1) ETFs do not threaten the decentralization of BTC, under 5% is in ETFs and thus controlled by centralized entities. Which is ok and in line with the protocol 2) Mining does not threaten the decentralization, the protocol is not governed by the miners, but by the nodes.

Honest question: The nodes aren't in the hands of miners? Who pays for the nodes if not mining rewards?
