I am by no means a crypto whale, but almost all the crypto I have is in Ethereum or in Ethereum mining contracts.

Why? Because I believe that it has a stable long-term growth future for its niche use case. It's a great framework for tokenizing projects, either for capital raising purposes or creating niche revenue streams for e.g. digital goods and subscriptions to digital goods.

So I think that when Bitcoin Core hits a major correction -- and I believe that it will in the first half of this year -- Ethereum may take a small hit, but won't collapse as spectacularly, and will go right back to growing because its inherent value proposition is different from Bitcoin's. There are things it does that are not in competition with the case for Bitcoin or any Bitcoin variants as a direct medium of exchange.

The battle in Bitcoin right now is whether it is going to be a medium of exchange for buying a Coke at a convenience store, or whether it's going to be a high-end settlement layer. There's no future in the latter, at least at current market cap; and on the former, there are other cryptos that seem to be both doing a better job now and geared toward continuing to improve (Bitcoin Cash and Dash are two that come to mind).

None of this, by the way, is intended to argue against @haejin's short-term market analysis. My understanding is that he has a great record of predicting such trends using the Elliot Wave analysis method. If I was doing short- to medium-term speculation in crypto, I'd be following his advice.
