The value of all cryptocurrencies comes from its scope of use. For example, ETH is the payment method used to produce other coins, but you should clearly understand that the cryptocurrency market is a market that is extremely controlled!
For me the father and mother of all of other currency is one and only bitcoin not ETH people are agree to invest in bitcoin now because it has high scope now in market and it can give us more money to get things we need in our life, we should have trust for bitcoin, the value and price of bitcoin is now higher as compare to other investment because it has good market value people are happily investing to it, price is getting higher day by day.
Yeah I know that the crypto market has been controlled by whales and that is the big reason that the price is not increasing. The method of payment is not a matter; the matter is having investment which you want to put in cryptocurrency. Your investment will decide the future price of bitcoin. The low the investment the low will be the price.
