Ethereum (ETH) price hits ATH, community celebrates
With Ethereum (ETH) smashing through its 2021 high, there’s no reason to buy Bitcoin (BTC) any longer. Ethereum (ETH) is at the same time more decentralized and represents a better store of value, long-term ETH proponent Anthony Sassano says on X.
There is no reason to buy BTC instead of ETH.
Ethereum is more decentralized than Bitcoin and ETH is a much better store of value than BTC.
You either accept this now, or be forced to accept it when ETH flips BTC.
