Renowned trader Peter Brandt recently expressed strong criticism of Ethereum, referring to it as a "junk coin" in comparison to Bitcoin. Brandt emphasized Ethereum's alleged inadequacies as a store of value and its complexities in terms of functionality, particularly pointing out issues with layer-2 solutions and high gas fees. He supported his claims by highlighting Ethereum's decline against Bitcoin in a price chart, indicating potential weaknesses in Ethereum's performance. This is not the first time Brandt has voiced skepticism about Ethereum, having previously disclosed a short position on the altcoin due to unfavorable price behavior, despite Ethereum's subsequent price increase. Brandt's overall belief in Bitcoin's supremacy in the cryptocurrency market underlies his critical perspective on Ethereum. He maintains that Bitcoin stands out as the primary asset with significant value retention potential, aiming to emphasize Bitcoin's superiority over other cryptocurrencies.
