Ethereum is the market’s most well-known altcoin. In fact, as far as brand recognition is concerned, ETH rivals BTC in many circles. Needless to say, this has fueled talks about the world’s largest altcoin flipping the world’s largest cryptocurrency on the price charts.
According to experts, it could increase in value by up to 400% by 2022. Since its launch, the price of ETH has risen from $0.311 in 2015 to around $4,800 late last year — with plenty of volatility along the way.
Even though this year has not been so good for the world’s largest altcoin, expectations are still high. A lot of noise has already been created by the network’s switch from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake consensus method and the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade.

Given everything, purchasing Ethereum, in the long run, must be a sensible move, right? Well, despite how the year has gone, a majority of market analysts are bullish on ETH.
