Gold is just **$12 away from $5,000** an ounce (currently hovering around $4,988), smashing new all-time highs amid economic uncertainty and safe-haven demand.
Meanwhile, **ETH** sits at roughly **$2,850–$2,900** — basically flat compared to its April 2021 levels (~$2,400–$2,700 range back then).
This massive divergence is exactly why so many in crypto feel depressed right now. Traditional assets like gold are on fire, while the flagship altcoin is stuck in the mud despite years of development, upgrades, and hype.
Patience is brutal in this market. Bulls say ETH's time will come with the next cycle; bears point to endless underperformance.
What do you think — is this just another bear trap, or is crypto's narrative truly broken?
