I am trying to decipher what the future holds for eth, asides its smart contract purposes which of course bnb can offer, what else do you think will help keep eth relevant. Because I see some projects trying to migrate to binance chain, I see that it won't end well for eth as long as bnb keeps improving.
I don't think it's so simple that BNB can just suddenly offer smart contracts. Unless it is a fork from Ethereum (haven't confirmed) then the BNB devs probably just created the coin with the purpose of storing value. A switch of protocol / process would mean rewriting the entire blockchain and would be a tedious if not a whole new process.
Also I don't see how BNB can overtake ETH when version 2.0 and proof-of-stake is about to be launched.
for the time being we don't know what the development of ethereum 2.0 will be (I hope it will make ethereum back to maintain its position), even though we have not seen BNB develop like Ethereum, but it can be seen that currently people are paying attention to binance, that means BNB has great potential. If binance always makes something interesting, like IEO that is always successful and others, people will definitely be affected and turn to binance. this will make BNB more popular, I'm sure the CEO of BNB is waiting for that opportunity.
