Looking back at Ethereum’s past cycles, it’s interesting to see the path it has followed. At the start of every major trend wave is Ethereum. Do you remember the ICO craze in 2017? More than 90% of the ICOs in the market were launched on Ethereum. Then we reached 2020, and the DeFi boom began. Compound, Uniswap, Aave, Curve... nearly all core protocols were built within the Ethereum ecosystem. No one can afford to ignore this.
In 2021, we saw an NFT boom. CryptoPunks, OpenSea... again, Ethereum. We’re currently in the early stages of GameFi, and projects like Axie and Ronin are being developed on Ethereum sidechains. Layer 2 solutions are also growing rapidly: Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and others are taking serious steps toward scaling Ethereum.
This pattern is very likely to repeat. Etaryum could also be the focal point of the next mega trend. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it keeps the rhythm. If you own ETH, hold on to it. If you haven’t bought yet, it might be time to start accumulating now. Ethereum’s journey could go as high as $62,500. Then you can come back here and thank me.
