whatever the reason ethereum will not die, eth will still survive in the future. Just because transaction fees are high doesn't mean Ethereum is hopeless. The ethereum community is very strong right now, and ethereum is also creating new ATH.
The problem of fees on Ethereum transactions is not something that cannot be solved, because it can still be solved if the Ethereum network is no longer as busy as it was in the past, and this is not something that should always be looked at because in my opinion Ethereum is a very perfect coin and far from death, unless the apocalypse comes.
One way or another, the ethereum network is protected from the apocalypse by third-party developers. It seems to me that now the era of cross-chains is coming, such projects as Matic, Solano, Near Protocol, Polkadot, this is what platforms unload the loaded Ethereum network, allowing them to expand their internal ecosystems, defi, nft, in addition, expanding the ethereum ecosystem. Such symbiotes are great for helping a large layer of crypto enthusiasts, ranging from investors to artists at many new nft sites, so this is the reason why many have not completely abandoned the ethereum blockchain this year.
