It is. Also, Ethereum for many users, including myself, is a safe and reliable investment. I am not saying that there would be zero risks because that's impossible in this market, but at least, with Ethereum, you can say that it could hold its ground better when the market is not doing well. However, on the other hand, it gains really slow compared to other high-tier altcoins, thus, it better fits a long term investment, so if you are eyeing for one, then Ethereum would be a good option.
