The reason ETH gets dumped harder in every "disaster" scenario — ZEC bug, Saylor selling BTC, stock market flash crashes — is ironically the exact reason ETH will eventually win. We've seen this play out a thousand times. And the question always comes up: Why does ETH drop more than expected? The answer is simple. ETH is the most liquid asset in all of DeFi. It's the hardest money we have. So when things go south and big players need liquidity fast, ETH is the first thing they sell. You might ask: Why not dump the shitcoins instead? Try selling your bags in a down market. There's simply not enough liquidity for large investors to exit meaningfully. ETH is their only real option. Structurally, ETH is the most important asset crypto has ever produced. Bitcoin is a footnote here. You simply cannot use BTC natively in DeFi. So does that mean ETH is doomed forever? No. Quite the opposite. Over time, this dynamic leads to insane distribution of ETH into hundreds of millions of hands. That makes it far more resilient — and, incidentally, turns it into a phenomenal store of value. Sure, you can sell hundreds of millions in BTC too. But can you reliably swap it for any asset you want in one click? No. You'd need CEXes, bridges, and multiple hops. ETH is the only native collateral for DeFi. It's the only logical digital store of value for crypto — and eventually, for the world. ETH is money.
