Nothing personal though, but this is one problem I think most people including myself keep pointing out to, aside the high tx fee and scalability issues.
Like, I don't understand why it keeps struggling, even during bullish times when the supposed altcoin market are doing well. Of course, it does well, but not well as the supposed first alt should do IMO. If we are to have another bullish movement, Bitcoin is going to outclass, and might even break a new ATH, because that's the surprise we've been getting lately. While ETH on the other would as well show some bullish signs, but those bullish signs won't even look interesting. I wonder what the ETH community anticipate for, in terms of new price discovery.

The debate at this very point is pointless. If they are actually making this comparison based on smart contracts, then we might want to ask how come the Binance smart chain managed to offer both good price (to some extent in their alt level), and smart contracts as well. We should probably be comparing alts with alts, and not the other way around.
