Can Ethereum make a comeback? Is it worth holding long-term?

Without further ado, let's get straight to the conclusion: In 2021, Bitcoin peaked at $60,000, while Ethereum peaked at $4,800. Now, Bitcoin has broken through the $100,000 barrier, but Ethereum is only at $2,600. If this wave doesn't reach $4,000 or even return to $4,800, Ethereum may really be heading into a dead end, making long-term holding less meaningful.

I am a firm holder of both Bitcoin and Ethereum; I have held Bitcoin for 7 years, and the lowest point of $74,000 has already surpassed the previous peak of $60,000, proving its growth momentum is unshakeable. I bought Bitcoin at $7,000 in 2019, and it has now increased over 15 times.

In contrast, I bought two Ethereum in 2021 for $6,600, and by 2025, the price had surprisingly dropped to $2,600. I tried contract trading during this period and lost quite a bit, although I later added to my position, but Ethereum's recent upward momentum has been sluggish, raising questions about the value of long-term holding.

In summary: Bitcoin has a promising future, while whether Ethereum can rise again has become a critical question. If it doesn't rise, the risk of continuing to hold coins is extremely high.
