but ethereum or xrp may not reach their ATHs again.
It’s probably the right time for us to discuss this again?

Although XRP has also grown significantly in the past months after ending its years-long lawsuit with the SEC, but it has yet to break its 2018 ATH. But instead, ETH hit ATH today or BNB also hit new ATH almost every day.
Although all of them have not seen significant growth like bitcoin yet, but it seems like things have started and those who are praying and believing that ETH or altcoins will not reach ATH again, or there will be no altcoin season will need to reconsider soon.
Similar to bitcoin, breaking ATH will be just a matter of time for ETH, and I wouldn't even be surprised if ETH continues to outperform BTC in this cycle, just like it did during the bull runs of 2018 and 2021.
