But ethereum was not created to make payments.
It was made for the purpose of a creating smart contracts and some place to hold them.
It just holds value because people are using it and its value increases.
Atleast this is how I see it. A place holder in a sense.
Once casper is initiated who knows what will happen to the price at this point.
Going all out staking might make it plummet or pump it.
Only time will tell as with all crypto.
