I am big time follower of ethereum from initial days i was holding ethereum even the price less than 100$ and also i was holding ethereum at the price of 1500$ . But based on recent development i am highly speculative ethereum price after 2.0 release . Once POS introduced the problem of scalability will be solved Maximum supply will be fixed . So i am slowly investing on ethereum from my savings part by part reasons are below
1) Inflation in global curreny or fiat curreny ( ehtereum and bitcoin is best alternative invetment solution )
2) Ethereum is the best Smart contract creation platform holding major DAPP's in market
3) Real world use case
I also agree with you. ETH is the second bets cryptocurrency after BTC. Its smart contract creation is the best feature of this. But because of its low transaction speed and high demand the transaction fee is increasing which is the onlybad side. I hope also this will get correct by tye time ETH2.0 goes online and the gas fee decreases.
It has a very bright future.
