many people believe in ethereum and many make ethereum a long-term investment, many believe that after the launch of 2.0 the price of ethereum will increase, I also hold ethereum but not in large quantities.
ETH is really the best among altcoins, for that reason most investors believe in ETH. l agree with your opinion most of them would prefer investing in ETH in the long term. That is why ETH is the best choice for long term investing. ETH2.0 will effect so great to the price of ETH and l think it is the best time to collect some ETH for making a good profit in the future.
When I first got into crypto, that's my general sentiment too about ETH. But when ETH's value went down hard, my support came crashing the same path as well. Lately though, ever since the bitcoin halving, I had a change of heart and I hope that ETH 2.0 will be the key towards making ETH a good investment for the future indeed.
