I've been all over the board but lean toward ETH being some gov't invovlment. Like BTC was leaked so they rushed out ETH. They have the figure head like Tesla/Space X and Facebook with their "T-Shirt" nonthreatening type. Fits the bill. The thing I keep to mind is that no matter what these currencies are behind closed doors, the population is in need of a "bitcoin". so if btc or eth or whatever turn out to be corrupted, we will just come up with something else because as a society we are demanding the break away from these slave systems.
