ETH in 18-19 was like dead, it dropped more than 20 times, which indirectly killed many ICO projects (ICO private placements were all based on Ethereum). At that time, many people had little hope for it and were pinning their hopes on EOS, but the rise of DeFi in 20 and GameFi in 21 saved ETH, it could be said to have come back to life.
At this stage, ETH's ecosystem and traffic are being gradually eroded by SOL, the foundation and founders have been selling tokens, if this continues, it will be like EOS, becoming a part of history!
