I'm leaning towards ETH and wanted to share some of my thoughts on the conspiracy theory surrounding whales plan to manipulate the ETH price.
Whales probably knew that after the 2021 cycle, investors have an idea of a balanced portfolio in terms of both profit and risk, and that's ETH. ETH is a valuable ALTs, much safer than many topcoins and more profitable than BTC. I believe many investors bought ETH during the crypto winter, and this displeased the whales.
Whales have been finding every way to dump the ETH price over the past period to force ETH holders to sell at a low price and give the whales an opportunity to accumulate. At the right time, when the whales are satisfied with the amount of ETH in their accounts, and the market starts showing positive signals, the ETH price will be pumped very high in a short period, similar to 2021.
