Here are three reasons why trade Ether (ETH) as an alternative to Bitcoin trading.
First, portfolio diversification when the market is in a sideways condition. In fact the sideways phenomenon is common in any asset market.
Second, ETH has a high trading volume that competes with Bitcoin and USDT, including its market capitalization which is second only to Bitcoin.
Third, ETH Ethereum's performance is better than Bitcoin in 2020. In the midst of global market turmoil affected by COVID-19, in general crypto assets are still relatively stable compared to the stock market.
ETH is also one of the crypto assets that managed to recover and be stable after the market crash in March 2002. In fact, in the first semester of 2020, ETH emerged as the winner ahead of Bitcoin in terms of ROI by a 75 percent increase.
Ethereum is the centre of all DeFi coins, so if you are buying Ethereum then you are having a stake in the future as well when the DeFi coin gets launched on the Ethereum blockchain there will be a lot of buy pressure and hence the price will go up. Ethereum 2.0 is coming and again the price is going to go up as the POW model will be shifted to POS and people will need 32 ETH for being the validator node and thus the buying pressure is gonna go up and hence the price will follow it soon. I guess these are also one of the valid reasons to buy Ethereum and have a bag full of Ethereum for yourself.
