I don't think everyone in the world can play with ETH dollars for free.
The lowest fruit yields the least risk... and theoretically gives the least reward.
It’s impossible to imagine $eth breaking out to $2,500 without first incurring months of painful hacking and more opportunity costs.
BTW, I hold ETH.
You just can't look me in the eye and say this doesn't impress me
For the average person who isn't constrained by liquidity issues, allocating just $eth and not (literally) anything else is next to nothing.
It also feels weird having to explain this, but...
If you are not a day/week trader, you may not be affected by the noise.
Buying with the expectation that prices will rise more than 12 months from now puts you in a completely different position and expectations.
