Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum In Peril? ‘ETH May Not Even Be A Listed Asset In 10 years,’ Says Legendary trader

Renowned trader and investor Peter Brandt has recently voiced a surprisingly pessimistic view of Ethereum’s future. Brandt, known for his trading acumen, has expressed doubts about Ethereum’s longevity as a major digital currency, especially when contrasted with Bitcoin (BTC).

Ethereum’s Uncertain Future According To Brandt

Brandt’s forecast for ETH, which he shared in a post on X, centers around his belief that ETH lacks the attributes of a solid store of value. Unlike Bitcoin, which has garnered widespread acceptance as a digital gold equivalent, ETH’s functionality and escalating gas fees cast shadows on its long-term viability.

Brandt went as far as to describe Ethereum as a “piece of junk,” a bold statement considering Ethereum’s status as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Notably, Brandt’s skepticism particularly stems from ETH’s underlying technical challenges and high transaction costs, which have been a point of contention within the crypto community.

Ether $ETH is not comparable to $BTC as a store of value. Why hodl ETH when you can hodl BTC
And the functionality and gas price of ETH make the crypto a piece of junk
My prediction is that ETH may not even be a listed asset in 10 years https://t.co/4WQ7wnFWEO

— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) December 14, 2023

The trading guru argues that these factors significantly hinder Ethereum’s potential as a reliable investment vehicle, especially when compared to Bitcoin’s more stable and widely accepted financial narrative.

Mixed Perspective: Ethereum As A Swing Trading Vehicle

Brandt’s bleak outlook on Ethereum doesn’t stop at its long-term viability. Delving deeper into his analysis, he turned to the ETH/BTC chart for further insights. Brandt noted that if ETH/BTC manages to sustain above the $0.48 level, ETH’s ‘funeral’ might be postponed.

This observation suggests a potential window for Ethereum to regain its footing or at least stabilize in the near term.

Interestingly, despite his overall bearish stance, Brandt acknowledged a silver lining for Ethereum. He concluded his analysis with a more optimistic note about its potential as a trading instrument. “One final note and then time to move on to different topics,” Brandt expressed:

I view ETH as a legitimate SWING TRADING vehicle. It charts decently well and has adequate liquidity.

In stark contrast to Brandt’s gloomy prediction, several industry experts and analysts hold a more optimistic outlook for ETH. Recent insights from JPMorgan analysts, for instance, predict a rosier future for ETH, predicting that the altcoin will surpass Bitcoin in 2024.

The prediction comes in light of the anticipated EIP-4844 upgrade. Known as Protodanksharding, this upgrade, scheduled for the first half of 2024, is expected to significantly enhance ETH’s network efficiency and functionality.
