Hope is starting to fade away...
It was first the ETF, then the thought of becoming a reserve which is suddenly being underscored by xrp, now it's the problem of being non-American unlike solana, you should see what the communities are like now...pure copium and memes, even some ETH maxis are starting to lose hope on ETH breaking out on his own.
And Buttercup isn't helping at all, not with his "reform" not with the politics he has stayed out of it till now.
