$ETH 📊 The gap between $ETH and $BTC in Q1-Q2 performance this year is striking.
Many of us expected Ethereum to have its moment — just like in previous cycles. But these updated returns show us once again that past performance ≠ future results.
While crypto often follows trends and seasonality, BTC remains the only "reliable" cyclic asset in this market. With the rise of TradFi and ETFs in 2024, this divergence has only grown.
Some analysts even compare ETH to $XRP's path: one strong cycle, then a weak one, followed by another decent year. Interesting theory — time will tell.
💬 Personally, I still trust ETH. I use it often across dApps and networks. Its uptime and security are unmatched in the L1 space.
And while that doesn't always correlate with price, I continue to monitor it closely as a long-term layer 1 player.
Besides… weak performance also flushed out early ICO whales, leading to healthier token distribution — not as decentralized as $BTC, but far ahead of many L1s.
