Ethereum's native token (ETH) is on a constant uptrend in price as Bitcoin soars towards new ATHs. The "De-Fi" hype has been the major driving factor for ETH's recent price boost. High network load and high market prices, translates in ridiculously high fees to the end user making "De-Fi" impractical on the Ethereum blockchain. Yet, people continue to buy and "hodl" ETH like there's no tomorrow.
What I can't understand is how ETH has a high price when there's no hard cap established by the developers yet. ETH has an inflationary model where new coins are generated over time. It never hits the ceiling in terms of max supply. This should make ETH less valuable over time. But that's not the case, as ETH sits well above $600 per coin. Am I missing something here? Why is ETH much more expensive than Litecoin? I mean, Litecoin has a deflationary model (unlike Ethereum) with a hard cap of 84 million coins. If we base ourselves on this, Litecoin should've been worth a lot more than Ethereum today.
Thoughts?

because Ethereum is more popular and of course the first smart contract project is Ethereum, so it is only natural that the price of Ethereum is higher than the same project as Ethereum and in my opinion Ethereum price is not overpriced, because Ethereum is not a stable coin and there is no limit to the price of Ethereum, so Ethereum price can increase at any rate, even the price of Ethereum could reach $ 5000 or more in the future, because anything can happen in cryptocurrency (including the price of Ethereum which has risen very high).
