Bitcoin and Ethereum's Market Dominance: Bitcoin and Ethereum together account for 70% of the total crypto market value, with Bitcoin's price potentially reaching $1 million by 2030, while Ethereum's price forecasts are also optimistic, with estimates of $7,500 by the end of this year and $25,000 by 2028.
Bitcoin as a Safe Asset: Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a hedge against macroeconomic risks, outperforming gold during financial distress, as evidenced by its recovery after the COVID-19 outbreak and its resilience against global tariffs, making it a preferable long-term investment compared to Ethereum.
