Before we get started with this article, please note that this is not financial advice.
Ethereum has been number #2 ranked token on the market for a long time now. Agree that Bitcoin is currently the dominant one, but if you look at the progress being made by Ethereum, there are lot of changes that it gets very close to Bitcoin price. The market is constantly being dominated by whales or powerful people - bringing down the price of Ethereum so that they can purchase as much as possible. Yes - rich people are never satisfied and they are greedy. How did I come to the conclusion? By checking the amount of ETH being purchased - who would purchase a large amount of ETH for example 100 ETH at $3000? That should be someone who has money - and that person would not risk that amount of money for nothing. They must certainly have predicted future price increase. Well that is just my opinion.

I am not a financial advisor as I said earlier, but I am certainly buying as many Ethereum and BNB as I can at the moment. Based on my personal research, there are lots of potential opportunities from these tokens than the other alt coins. But as we say - DYOR - do your own research.
Just curious, with how many ETH at the moment would you say you are happy and can retire early?
I have also created my own token - Magma Token - if you want to help me out (not necessarily by purchasing), you can have a look at my article here: https://www.publish0x.com/holdthatcrypto/magma-token-goals-for-august-xrnnwpq
