In my opinion , it is impossible that Ethereum is shitcoin. Ethereum platform has been used so many projects. The proof is that eth not go down under $100 . In fact the price of eth is above $200 , now.
I don't consider eth as shitcoin as well. as compared to many blockchain projects, eth has strong development team aside from its well-known founder Vitalik Buterin. Eth platform has solid foundation to begin with and not just an ordinary blockchain project. they changed things in so many ways as there are countless projects that are using their network. and they are continuously developing their platform as we know there is coming Eth 2.0. By any means, I would not consider eth as shitcoin. it goes down just like many other alts, but the difference is, they are not abandoning their platform but rather continue developing it. Buterin will not let his project goes down for nothing. he already built reputation in the crypto community so I don't think he will stake his reputation for money.
