*** The first coins people are most likely to buy are Bitcoin or Ethereum.
and we like it or not behind ETH and BTC there is small economy while others have 0.
In long run i wonder how ETH will evolve. BTC is safer bet because it doesn't change fundamentally like POS vs POW..
with such changes is easier to make mistakes and some people will lose money in ETH again.
But like you say ETH have potential but SEC hitting ICOs has cut it wings in half today.
ETH is ICO platform today and known only from that ERC20 tokens where you can instant dump some.
