Only few know about Avalanche, it's truly a gem because not much marketing is done right now. But Avalanche has many updates planned for Q1, bringing an own DeFi project. No more expensive fees like 50$ USD ETH, for Avalanche, it's below 10 cents.
If you really want to understand Avalanche and why it's outperforming even top coins you need to know: Key is new Avalanche consensus in AVAX, it was never implemented before because it's NEW consensus protocol! Avalanche even outperforms top coins Cosmos and Pokadot:
Comparison between TOP PROJECT Cosmos, Polkadot and AvalancheI agree that most still don't have a clue, but people are starting to catch on, it's up 70% in last 7 days, and up 26% in BTC
When DeFi exchange Pangolin (Uniswap for Avalanche) goes live later in January, it will be visible to everyone what Avalanche has build and how it's outperforming Ethereum. Price of AVAX will explode. Right now, it is impossible to make Uniswap for small transaction because fee is insane. People just stop and don't make any transaction or wait very long to look for cheaper fees.
Avalanche is improving all issues from Ethereum and is easily what ETH 2.0 wants to do in 2 years. Avalanche will crush Ethereum and DOT.
