More and more, I'm hearing only the ETH value rather than dollar denomination. Personally, when I bid (or receive bids) on any of my NFTs, I'm only considering the ETH price.
It's a new shift, but I think quite profound.
Edit: If you're referring to mainstream media, the dollar value is all that most would be able to put into context. For those deep in the space, we're thinking about dollar values less and less. My primary benchmark on overall portfolio value is the value denominated in ETH, not USD.
But ETH is still tied to the dollar and that's where it gets its value, is in the comparison to the dollar. I don't accept ETH for a used car I'm going to sell. I accept dollars, though.
It's not the whole internet, just you or the company that holds your BTC wallet. Just the other day Facebook was down for hours. Imagine had that been Coinbase.
You can denominate ETH in whatever you want, but come April 15th you’d better exchange enough for dollars to meet your dollar denominated tax obligation.

For people that look at it like that, sure. That's not how everyone looks at it though. I personally look at it with the aim of acquiring as much ETH as possible because I can see that the future economy will be built on it and eventually things will be priced in ETH.
Just because the transitions are slow and you don't see it happening, doesn't mean that there's not a transition happening.
It's a new shift, but I think quite profound.
