Is ETH Ultra Sound Money Yet?

Despite confidence in crypto and Ethereum communities, ETH bulls have did not breach this resistance degree. Still, specialists are upbeat, anticipating ETH to drift increased as sentiment improves. Part of those tailwinds shall be as a consequence of what Ethereum supporters declare to be ETH’s gradual evolution to develop into “ultrasound money.”
