I am trying to decipher what the future holds for eth, asides its smart contract purposes which of course bnb can offer
BNB doesn't have smart contracts though, not really. I don't think it can compete with ETH in this space. Unless this is just using something like Cosmos. It's not like BNB has years of development of its own smart contract platform. It can and is competing with ETH on token issuance, but I don't agree that it is competing directly in smart contracts. At least not yet.
Yups Not Yet And Maybe sooner as competition in crypto is getting higher and higher.not only in prices but in service as well.ethereum is a good coin no doubt about that but BNB is one of the fastest growing currency today.
Maybe for the next two decades that ETH is not anymore supported by community. If BNB want to overtakes it then they should be more unique on their own and if they are for exchanges then make some products just for exchanges.
lol they will improve if they can offer a product outside of their business and this is what company needs to extend their offering because in business the more the merrier as long as you can handle rightfully
