Good point there mate. ETH has all it takes to move without BTC hype. POS is a good approach.
Will see if bitcoin will not continue to pump and ETH 2.0 will be launch, I bet ETH would not create a new ATH or will not ever reach $1,000.
I can give you 70/30 odds
(mine) for that if you like to bet.
I already got a bet running don't want to go into another. But whatever outcome i will take it in good faith but am sure ETH will attain that height this year. It's possible!
