The Cardano price is forecasted to reach $2.89801 by the beginning of October 2021. The expected maximum price is $3.62251, minimum price $2.46331. The Cardano price prediction for the end of the month is $2.89801, after the Alonzo Fork. But what will make it achieve $ 5 and when will it happen? Will Cardano position itself to replace Ethereum and tackle the issue of huge gas fees? 
Cardano isn't going to make it. If you compare it to something like NEAR protocol, it doesn't hold a flame to it. Ref Finance has 2 second transaction finality and 8k TPS. The AMM also has yield farming and is constantly adding new features. AMMs on Cardano can only do 1 TPS and farming isn't live. The estimated TPS for normal transactions on Cardano is 45 TPS, that's barely faster than Ethereum. I see no advantages to using Cardano even over Ethereum.
