I still can't fully trust Ether's performance despite its recent highs. I'll be sure follow ethereum for the next period to maintain this performance growth to prove that the current price movement isn't the product of a few whales' actions to manipulate the market. I say this because i know the eth network still suffer from scalability problems and lack of major updates, which open the door to other competitive networks to take parts from the eth portion in the market. Some still believe that eth is still alive just because some chain networks that are developed in top of it. While few others believe in the Vitalik abilities to sustain the network.
