Eth is a name that gives holders headaches every season.
And especially this season, Eth is the game of the big players.
Just like Btc in the 2017-2018 period when the big players hadn't entered the game, small investors could still make money.
But now, with the big players and organizations buying up, even if Btc goes up to $200k, investors still lose money.
That's how Eth is, if you understand it, you can make money.
Maria will still accumulate more Eth, sitting back and waiting for a beautiful day to take profits.
The SUI case could set a precedent for revisiting "the DAO" case. ETH holders should be cautious and reanalyze which truly represents the "philosophy of decentralization" between ETH and ETC.
The SUI case's ability to freeze hacker accounts reminds me of the 2016 ETH hack, after which Vitalik and a group of developers decided to split into ETH and ETC amidst community disagreement.
Looking back, ETC (Ethereum Classic) is the original version that upholds the blockchain philosophy of Ethereum. Meanwhile, ETH is the version created to rescue the Ethereum Foundation and major investors.
After many years, ETH's "limited development potential" stems from the DAO case. This is clearly reflected in this cycle, where ETH cannot follow BTC's price trajectory (Bitcoin still maintains the spirit of complete decentralization).
I firmly believe the ETH-ETC story will continue to be told, especially during the Trump era. Through cases like Ross Ulbricht and Tornado Cash, you can fully understand Trump's stance on cryptocurrency: He emphasizes complete decentralization and freedom in this market.
The fork action proves that if a group with significant influence (like Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation) exists, they can reverse blockchain history => a dangerous precedent for the "non-intervention" philosophy of blockchain.
If blockchain transactions can be altered, how can investors trust that their digital assets are protected by immutable rules?
For ETH investors who value blockchain philosophy, consider carefully between ETH and ETC to determine which truly represents decentralization. There are two approaches: Allocate a portion to ETC or be more cautious by reducing your ETH portfolio.
