… it is moving in such a way that makes it a weighty contender in the cryptocurrency market.

As of this writing, the COVID19 pandemic remains. The world economy is in turmoil. Uncertainty is still the theme of our day-to-day. And everything seems to be on a down-trend.
Take a look at this bitinfochart:

Except for DOT, ETH and other cryptocurrencies suffered a dip in the last 7 days. Still, ETH stands 2nd to BTC in terms of popularity and market capitalization.
It is pretty obvious that ETH is not the only way but I choose to learn (and earn!) with it. The “fast and furious” has shown significant results for the community but for this noob mom, slow and steady works just fine.*
*The ETH in my TrustWallet has grown from about $7 to $12 in the last 56 days. I did close to nothing.
