you should have said it probably is.
and if you ask me i say it definitely is a pump and dump like any other times before. and bitcoin is the reason why! the fight over block size is opening up room for so much FUD and was the ground work for the pumps.

interesting stuff on ethereum though...

There is nothing new to that - every once in a while, we hear of this and that coin being the killer coin to take Bitcoin to the cleaners, but Bitcoin is almost priced at over $1200 today. It is certainly okay to also have other coins that are doing pretty well, but there is yet to be a replacement for Bitcoin in sight.

As far as I know, ETH is growing at an awful level, in a very short time, its value has increased fivefold. This is terrible, and it is also a great reward for those who have put their trust in ETH. It is popular with everyone, and is more popular than bitcoin. It is hard for me to believe this. I used to have the intention of reserving ETH, but I was delayed, unfortunately, however, currently I can not invest in it, when it is having too much value, I see a lot of risk . I will not risk.

because the main purpose of altcoin (ethereum in this case) is to get pumped and then help those of us who invest before pump and dump on the top have more bitcoin.

I think it is okay for bitcoin to lose some volume in the market because that is normal for a cryptocurrency because we can't deny that there is a lot of competitors for bitcoin such as altcoins like ethereum but if we look and base in long term then that kind of scenario will be worthless because bitcoin will win after a few years because it is already tried and tested by other people and bitcoin doesn't need MLM to just gain volume unlike altcoins.

I have heard that Ethereum has a tie up with some MLM companies and they are also have many projects and activities as to how to get Ethereum into the public. That is not shocking since Ethereum is not decentralized and the people behind it are big whales in the economic sector and so marketing of Ethereum is easy. I have heard of Ads Cash recently giving away free 100$ per sign up and they say that they are related to Ethereum I am not sure if it is one of the MLM stuff of Ethereum but that company claims to be so.

Because the longer Bitcoin goes without scaling, the more marketshare it will lose to altcoins and the more likely it will become to lose its dominant status.

We want to avoid that right?

More like nobody wants to deal with "my transaction doesn't confirm" avalanche of users complaining. 

Everybody is creating hype about ETH and DASH right now but there is no any good reason to support this high pumps, it was only triggered by decision of SEC against bitcoin ETF. This pump can't last longer, so creating some short position could be wise decision.  

Ethereum can never dominate Bitcoin, it would have already if it could. These are market gimmicks and ethereum is really being pumped and I urge all to be careful before they loose from a potential pyramid scam.
