Ethereum is booming
I think the first reason why Ethereum has been setting new records is that it has a lot of capital
the second reason is that many ordinary people have paid attention to virtual currency . These ordinary people have strong purchasing power, and they may have been speculators in stocks or funds before. When they find that the virtual currency is rising well, they will bring a lot of money into the market. The admission of these ordinary people will increase more capital admission, because in the view of capital, these ordinary people are a crop of leeks
the third reason is e to the soaring price of bitcoin, bitcoin is now rising very rapidly, from $20000 a bitcoin in 2020 to $60000 a bitcoin now. It's terrible. For a lot of capital, they can't speculate on bitcoin. Because bitcoin's plate is too big, they have to go back and speculate on Ethereum
first, a large amount of capital has entered the market
at present, the global economy is not very good, there are not many things that can be invested, and the global currencies are devaluing and inflating for a lot of capital, their money will depreciate one day if they hold it in their hands. They need to invest their money. At this time, they find that the virtual currency can keep the value and will not inflate. At this time, there will be a lot of capital, with a lot of money to buy Ethereum. When a lot of people go to buy Ethereum, it is normal for Ethereum prices to rise

development trend: the divergence of development teams leads to the bifurcation of technical routes
the most criticized problem of bitcoin is the small block capacity, which is only 1MB. As a result, bitcoin is becoming more and more unsuitable for trading. Many transactions will not be confirmed immediately after they occur, and many blocks need to wait, so the transaction fees of bitcoin are higher and higher, Obviously, it will be further and further away from the idea of a trading currency
for the problem of bitcoin block capacity, as the founder of bitcoin, Nakamoto Tsung has given a solution. The size of the earliest bitcoin block is designed to be 32MB, and the roadmap of bitcoin expansion is given. The reason why the bitcoin block was limited to 1MB in the early days was to prevent the network congestion caused by a large number of small transfers in the early network
however, bitcoin did not upgrade as it should, but still maintained a block size of 1MB. The reason is the divergence of the bitcoin development team. Nakamoto was the developer of bitcoin, but later retired and left the development task of bitcoin to the bitcoin development team. However, the development team was very different about removing the 1MB block limit, so the development team split up. The original development team (core) wanted to continue to limit the size of 1MB, and the people who left formed other development teams (several), It is also called large block team or support expansion team. In the end, the two groups failed to reach a consensus on the upgrading of bitcoin network. A new bitcoin, bitcoin cash, was created, which is different from the original bitcoin. He inherited all the blocks (transaction records) of bitcoin before the split, but after the split, he used a new block of 8MB, which is different from the previous bitcoin (BTC, developed and maintained by the core team)
there should be three types of hard bifurcations for bitcoin, including the cash bifurcations for bitcoin (uahf). The original bitcoin network is prepared to implement segwit2x, which is the bifurcation scheme of the New York consensus. However, e to opposition, segwit2x was not implemented in the end, maintaining the original bitcoin path. But bitcoin still needs to be upgraded. The emergence of bitcoin cash is not accidental. In fact, there are other bifurcated bitcoin coins, such as bitcoin limited and bitcoin old. It's only because of the problem of popularity that it doesn't enter the public view. Now bitcoin cash is the most competitive bifurcated coin
