Vitalik Buterin and the developers and community he attracts. If you don’t have any ETH, or have never used metamask, it’s hard to explain all of the applications and protocols built on Ethereum. Though if you look at the top 100 crypto coins, probably half of them are Ethereum tokens. The stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, decentralized lending platforms, NFTs, etc.Jantoven wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 8:58 pmOut of curiosity - what is it about Ethereum that makes you think it has the greatest potential?ohboy! wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:09 pmI own a lot more than 1-3%. But would agree I’m over-risked, and 1-3% is reasonable. I would not leave out other cryptos though, especially Ethereum. I don’t personally care so much for ADA or BNB but I have some.
The crypto industry/space/community has established itself enough where I don’t see it going away. Hard to say which will have the best price performance going forward. I have spent a good deal of time educating myself on crypto and still believe Ethereum has the best future potential. I admit though that I know nothing about the future. So I hold 50 different coins, mostly weighted by marketcap. After 5 years, so far so good.
ETH stores value (monetary)
ETH can be staked to generate yield (capital)
ETH is used to pay for transactions (commodity)
