This is just a thought ,what would have happened if the first crypto coin from satoshi was ethereum ? I'm sure ETH will be the most favoured digital currency just like bitcoin is today.
And ETH would have been the bullrun driver and many altcoins will always favour since ETH is the key ,just imagine if ETH is 11,000$ ? Many altcoins would have been exploding in value presently
I don't think this is opinion.
d what you say is an illusion, however bitcoin is the first crypto and is very influential and binding on the market. so what you say for ethereum has happened and applies to bitcoin.
I think eth is an altcoin that has the potential but will never be able to win the top ranking
