- Here’s Why Ethereum Is the Next Bitcoin
Finding the next Bitcoin has become the primary focus for some crypto investors. There’s no guarantee that Ethereum will reach the same value as Bitcoin, of course, but there are several important reasons why this crypto and its underlying technology could make it just as critical to the crypto space as Bitcoin. The value of an Ethereum’s coin has grown, at least in part, because the Ethereum blockchain has become the standard for building decentralized finance (DeFi) apps and systems. One thing that’s made Ethereum similar to Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency’s rapid rise in value. As of this writing, one Ether coin is worth nearly $4,600, a 900% increase over the 12 months.

- 3 Reasons to Own Coinbase Stock
One unique aspect of Coinbase’s business is that it’s a cash flow machine as a relatively young company. Crypto is still in its infancy, and we should see transactions and revenue grow in the long term. Of course, one or two quarters won’t make a trend and investors should expect big volatility in Coinbase’s results, but the fact that it’s generating cash when most newly public companies aren’t projecting positive cash flow for years is an impressive feat. As investors fret about the ups and downs of Coinbase’s quarterly revenue, don’t forget that this is one of the most prolific crypto/Web3/NFT investors in the world.
