safe to say that Eth is dying/dead

Crypto is officially dying, stocks like apple, coke, Tesla have consistent growth even during its dips but bitcoin is just a huge pump and dump pyramid scheme for institutions to manipulate with longs and shorts. It's pretty much a casino, gotta know when to stack your chips and leave. I've never seen assets more manipulated than crypto it truly is just amazing how much money people can lose in a couple of weeks. How are we at the same price levels as 5 years ago after all the "adoption" and "institutions" jumping into crypto? Just shows how trash btc really is haha, enjoy paying 17 dollars to move around 50 dollars worth of ETH fucking useless garbage.
