This is Ethereum in 60 seconds. And am I bullish or am I bearish? Well, Ethereum is essentially a world computer. It has been up for over 10 years and it is the new version of the App store in Web3 and on Blockchain applications can build on top of Ethereum and it does that through smart contracts. Essentially it allows you to interact with someone else without the need of a middleman. That is why the settlements layer for Ethereum. There are so many financial applications being built on top of ethereum and over 50% of the entire cryptocurrency defi space in the total value locked is on Ethereum and that is one of the most bullish cases for Ethereum is that a continues to be the biggest layer one blockchain in crypto. It's got more than 50% TVO for DeFi layer protocols and it is the most censorship resistant on a bearish case. It has so much competition now. Solana has been eating its lunch, Sui's been eating its lunch and the user experience for Ethereum has been poor for some time. It has a lot of headwinds that Ethereum needs to continue to battle. But I've been holding since $80. I'm very, very bullish on Ethereum and I think it is going to be a big winner again for this bull market.
