U.Today - Legendary trader and investor Peter Brandt has once again shown he is not a fan of Ethereum (ETH), with a mind-numbing forecast about the coin’s future. to Peter Brandt, he did not foresee Ethereum living up to be a listed digital currency in the next 10 years, a rather gloomy projection for a coin that is currently the second largest, after Bitcoin (BTC).

At the time of writing, Ethereum is changing hands for $2,269.34, down 0.6% in the past 24 hours and by more than 3.7% in the trailing seven-day period. While Peter Brandt's decade prediction of Ethereum is a major concern to note, his stems from the belief that the digital currency is not a worthy store of value.

In his post on X, Peter Brandt said ETH is not a comparable store of value when placed side by side with Bitcoin, and he acknowledged not understanding why traders often choose to HODL the coin.

To Peter Brandt, the bad functionality of Ethereum and the skyrocketing gas fees might eventually be its demise in the long run. With how relatively unusable ETH is, Brandt boldly labeled the asset as a "piece of junk."
