I have noticed many of the alts but ETH is truly a strong competitor in crypto market, over the past few days ETH is showing some great signs which means the price is pumping.
The price have also break new yearly high, eth is absolute gem for Investment. I am sure it is all set to break $300k barrier some interesting story is about to come in this crypto market, let's wait and watch...
$300k lol

, I think you mean $300 and the price has gotten above that, currently at a price of $322 which is really high compared to its price in a year now. For a long time now ETH has been my choice of cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, and it works for me, that’s why I always go for it when buying altcoins.
I have seen people who mention some other altcoins and claiming they will soon beat ETH, but I believe now they will all be running back to Ethereum. I believe the DeFi market that has been increasing new highs must have led to the increase, or is there something else that might have acted as a catalyst?
