JOSEPH CHALOM: “STOP PRICING ETH OFF BITCOIN.” That narrative is dead. ETH isn’t a multiple of BTC. It’s a network generating real economic activity. 🔹 Stablecoin settlement 🔹 Tokenized assets 🔹 On chain finance 🔹 Programmable execution Bitcoin is digital gold. Ethereum is digital infrastructure. And infrastructure gets valued on usage not comparison. The market hasn’t fully processed that yet. $ETH
