ETH: a new model of money

Dear Crypto Enthusiasts.





I don't know about you, but it saddens me when in 2020 ETH is called "altcoin". It's like calling a Lamborghini a horseless carriage.





Looking at cryptocurrencies as  "Bitcoin and everything else"  was acceptable 7 years ago. To this day it is simply unprofitable to maintain such conservatism in views  .





Bitcoin still plays one of the key roles in the digital asset market, but this industry has long gone beyond the capabilities of the first cryptocurrency. Ignoring this fact means staying on the sidelines of progress and, as they say, leaving money on the table.





If you are an unrecognizable bitcoin maximalist who is comfortable sitting on the sidelines, then there is nothing wrong with that. If you are not ready to sacrifice potential profit for the sake of dubious principles, but want to get to the bottom of the fundamental essence of digital assets, then this article is for you.
