A lot of the best projects are erc30 based tokens and that is the proof that we will able to seee ethereum on another peak in the future. It's just the market is not favoring us and we are really struggling to still convince people that it's going to be the main currency of the future.
we must wait for the growth of this market first before seeing ethereum rise at its peak. This market hasn't returned, and is still trying to find a way to peak. but we all believe the market will come back soon, we must be patient.
