That's one thing, but the other is ETH you mentioned, I think you should proceed with caution as it doesn't have good PR lately and so it does perform

Ethereum is one of the most relevant projects out there and currently it has a better Risk/Reward ratio vs Bitcoin.

Price wise is still a laggard, but 50-70% of crypto activity (excluding bitcoin main chain) is happening there,

Which PR you're talking about?

Which PR you're talking about?

My twitter feed is full of people moaning about how they're loaded with ETH, how it didn't perform (price-wize), is hardly used (and if it gets used it's expensive) and is controlled by Vitalik

Well, that's simply not true.

Price wise didn't performed well, that's the only thing.
But this cycle so far only Solana and a few outliers (apart from memes) had this run.

It's being used a lot (more than parking wealth rather than quick trades), but so far big guys go there.

Regarding being expensive, it's true that's the most expensive chain so far, but gas prices went down +90% with the last updates. A regular tx now costs 0.5-1$. Long gone are the days of +10$ fees (at least for now).

And regarding Vitalik controlling ETH... in my opinion it's simply Bitcoin maxis fud. They are so annoying btw
