you need it as eth is at a tipping point and if it dips a lot hodlers may bail.
I worry for guys like you that are locked into it and in the red or close to red spots.
I simply don't see its benefits as compared to other coins. Solana pulled a lot from eth and could pull more. I hope you did not go all or nothing on eth and have some Solana
I don't know if you remember me, but I also mined ETH for a long time and was active in the Mining board of the other forum
I managed to collect a bit of ETH from mining and decided to keep it
So I'm in profit, and I've also been using ETH a lot to farm airdrops, so I'm getting something out of it at least
But the price of ETH hasn't kept up, and we've seen that POS isn't as good as people thought
I still think that if ETH were still minable, it would be on a much better level and with more support from the community
