Im expect ethereum to go to the its ATH before it will break another record. that thing will possible to happen only if bitcoin will reach another all time high again. That being said that buy both bitcoin and ethereum for long term.
Bitcoin has been recovering so fast as well as ethereum since it was traded at the bottom at the earliest of this year.
What you have said above was actually make sense but im feeling doubt if people gonna hear it as they will not able to make a profit in short term. I meant they shall put eth as long term investment.
Short term will not even work in this kind of coin. It's caused by big marketcap makes it even hader to be pumped and dumped by traders.
Imho it also depends on fundamentals. IF ETH manages to scale (cut the fees and increase the såeed while increasing transactions), it might as well surpass BTC in marketcap. I know people have been waiting flippening for a long time and when it seems to be closer there will be even harsher crash.
I am basing this on my feelings on the markets and rather long experience i have with crypto markets. Eth doesn't need Vitalik as a central figure anymore and Vitalik doesn't seem to want to jump the ship every time like Daniel Larimer.
