They never could imagine the current prices but it happened. I'm also not a fortune teller but time is going to to be your friend with ethereum. What is the recognition of the general public about erhereum right now ? I believe less than one in a thousand own any crypto right now. We are still very much in early adopter phase. Defi alone is a massive use case for ethereum..I've used it and it works really well. You borrow off your own collateral almost instantly. No regulations and no borders and almost free transaction except for the interest rates. I'm going to ride Ethereum into the stratosphere. There's no real challenger.. You've got two huge crypto events this year, bitcoin halving and Eth 2.0 and this thing is just getting started.

However since 2016 Eth has generally been returning higher gains. Alts are more elastic and risky than BTC, so while they can drop much lower, it also means their gains can be much higher (e.g. Ripple went up 70,000% in 9 months in 2017) Nothing wrong with sticking solely with BTC and nothing wrong with diversifying with BTC and a few alts

Coinbase and Uphold don't do it and I don't know where to transfer it to access it or exchange it. I'm very excited at the current upswing. I bought several new currencies before Christmas so it's great that it's paying dividends already.

But yeah if the virus did something it was just a quicker trigger for something which was bound to happen anyway and it isn’t responsable for the sustained rise (gold and the stock market have since gone back to business as usual while Bitcoin kept moving).
