Okay I think we are actually arguing the same thing though. The original argument was why I thought currencies/platforms like BTC and ETH should be considered more valuable than random altcoins (independent of if they are ERC-20 or not).

I am not trying trying to argue about if BTC or ETH is better.

Oh okay, gotcha. Yeah I agree. Major currencies like ETH and BTC act as liquidity bridges for smaller cap digital assets. Tokens, which are digital assets issued on preexisting platforms, use ETH as their conduit, and altcoins, which are digital assets with their own native platform, mostly use BTC, and less commonly ETH, as theirs.
