BTC has been a veteran for 17 years, and ETH has also accumulated 11 years of experience. The market positions of these two giants are already quite solid. Looking ahead 10 years, what changes might occur in the landscape?

To be honest, by that time, both will be fully mature. Ecosystem development, technological iterations, and application scenarios will all tend to stabilize. The relative positioning and market competition between BTC and ETH today will likely look different ten years from now.

Once this maturity is reached, the fundamental landscape will be set. It will become increasingly difficult to drastically alter their relationship. The market pattern will eventually settle, and that "settling" moment is very likely to occur within these 10 years.

nah this "maturity" narrative is classic copium... actually if you read the tokenomics, we're nowhere near the settling point yet. vesting unlocks incoming will literally reshape everything they're telling you

Ten years... The optimistic view is that it's crossing cycles; the harsh view is that it's a gamble on who can survive until the end of these ten years. The narrative around BTC is almost worn out, while ETH is still holding back a big move. This game might not be as settled as it seems. --- Maturity = no more opportunities? I don't think so. The more stable something is, the easier it is to be disrupted by a black swan. History never follows a script. --- Is the big picture about to be finalized? Then you should seize the current opportunity even more. What are you still hesitating for? --- Honestly, having experienced the 2018 crash, I no longer feel as anxious about these long-term theories. Ten years is a long time; anything can happen. --- The outcome is already decided. If the market is still falling after being called settled... this might really be the bottom range. If it drops further, even my faith will waver. --- Both giants are now mature, which makes it even more dangerous. Who says maturity means no risk? They are easily overturned by new things. --- Rebirth from the ashes depends on patience and waiting now. How things will be in ten years is uncertain, but if you don't act now, you'll definitely regret it in ten years.

If the pattern is set in stone ten years from now, is it still possible to get on the new public chains now? I really increasingly feel that BTC is like a retirement stock, ETH can still be tinkered with but the ceiling is right there... Honestly, the giants being stable just makes them rigid. The truly hundredfold opportunities are not with them at all. Ah, but people who think like that are all losing money, right haha This old relic, Bitcoin, actually resists drops the most, quite ironic. A ten-year verdict? I think the story of new L1s is just beginning, unless... they can really completely crush everything. These two have long been consensus, the market's key is to see where the next breaker emerges from.

Still talking about these two after 10 years? I bet the new public chain will overtake on a bend.

Hmm... Based on on-chain data tracking, this logic is a bit too superficial. BTC and ETH are "mature"? It's obvious that deeper capital connections are at play behind the scenes. A decade-long game? I want to see who is secretly rewriting this pattern.
