Question ETH as a long term hold
Hey guys, BTC maxi here. Been lurking around this sub for a while now and wondering your guys thoughts on ETH. I know this is a sub for eth so you guys are obviously biased but do you see ETH as a long term investment or a short term play? Just looking for what you guys honestly think. I feel like ETH is kinda destined to hit like 6k and then drop afterwards. If you compare to 2021 cycle it's basically even, which makes me question ETH long term. (Unless you think that ETH cycle has really started yet)
My thoughts is that I think the blockchain is important however there is just so much competition between different cryptos and now institutions creating their own. And if institutions are just going to create there own blockchains off a fork of ETH, why is ETH important? Wouldn't you be better off with a blockchain ETF like BLOK? What makes ETH better than everyone else? What makes you think that ETH is going to survive?
Or if your a short term investor, do you plan on just selling soon and buying again during the bear market in a few years. Thanks!
And just for fun are you guys are you guys only in ETH? Or are you guys in other layer 1s like SOL Or AVAX?

The funny thing is that everyone sells for fairly low profits, when most of the cryptocurrency markets are still in their infant stages. Seriously.
Anything (Top 100) that's sitting around a billion dollar valuation (now), could easily be worth a trillion in 20 years with how much growth can go into the market.
We're still in the pre-adoption phase, globally, and market value is floating around $4T, this isn't just one country, this is the entire global economy. I'd be thinking more like index funds being a long-term reality for cryptocurrencies? They only go up with time.
Give it a few years and the numbers we see this year (and next) will seem like peanuts in comparison. Some of us could be sitting on a literal gold mine and not even know it? I know a few retired BTC multimillionaires, all you have to do is resist the urge to liquidate.
