Some say Bitcoin is gold to Litecoin silver. Some say Monero is gold to Aeon silver. Today, approximately, Litecoin is 1/50th value of bitcoin, Aeon is 1/100th value of Monero. Litecoin has 4:1 coin circulating supply of Bitcoin. Aeon has 1:1 coin circulating supply of Monero. Your trend-line may need some positive readjustment if the rebase delivers 
I don't see Litecoin as "the silver" of Bitcoin. Not anymore. Ethereum and Monero are much better suited for that. And, with so many bugs and issues, Ethereum will lose it. On the other side, Monero needs more aggressive advertising.
Don't forget that Monero had a long history of sub 2$ price. AEON already successfully broke that and much more. Don't be too impatient, good things have to happen to AEON, but at the right time.
AEON is much more than silver (and Monero is much better than gold too).
Is there any article that lists out all the issues with Ethereum? I remember the infamous DAO hack and other stuff like Vitalik reversing transactions or something like that, but I dont really remember seeing anything else on ETH... especially articles that dare to criticize all mighty Vitalik.
Just a couple months ago some teenager 'accidentally' deleted over $300MM value of other people ETH. No idea if that was also rolled back.
To be honest I sort of can't believe these sorts of things have not crushed ETH as a project:

I reckon another roll back would require another hardfork. Vitalik again would be risking another chain split that will create Ethereum Classic 2 hehehe. It would also not be good for their image and with Ethereum now a billion dollar blockchain, I speculate that they will not risk it anymore.
@heggerZ. For now, use your imagination hehe.
