Already, the ETH/BTC pair has established a major support level around 0.038, after forming a potential double bottom, coupled with a rising bullish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

However, Justin Bons, the founder and CIO of Cyber Capital has issued a cautionary note to investors seeking to tap on Ethereum. According to Bons, the Ethereum network is effectively bankrupt, not just intellectually and ethically but also economically.
Bons noted that the Ethereum L1 network is less attractive to mainstream users due to its high transaction fees compared to its competitors such as BNB Chain, Solana (SOL), and Tron (TRX). The fact that Ethereum’s Layer Two (L2) chains are significantly benefiting economically at the expense of the L1, Bons believes that the network is in deep trouble.
For instance, one of Ethereum’s largest DeFi protocols Uniswap (UNI) is gradually rolling out its L2 network, which will further reduce the collected fees.
