Ethereum powers the majority of DeFi and NFT ecosystems, but network congestion and high fees have driven users to alternatives like Solana and Polygon. Upgrades like proof-of-stake aim to address these issues, yet competition remains fierce.

Examining Ethereum’s technical roadmap alongside market adoption helps you understand the challenges of scaling a blockchain while retaining decentralization. The critical question is whether Ethereum can adapt fast enough to stay relevant. Do you think Ethereum will maintain dominance, or will new blockchains take the lead?

Ethereum is one of "Wall Street's" favorite coins, so I wouldn't expect it to lose its stop spot in market cap (and TVL) anytime soon. Even if its competitors outperform it in terms of performance and cost-efficiency. Besides, there are many whales who want to keep ETH at the top. With first-mover advantage on the market, competing chains will have a hard time "beating" ETH.

Vitalik and his team will continue to introduce a series of network upgrades to make ETH bigger and stronger than ever. While the competition will always be superior in terms of transaction capacity/throughput, ETH will still be "King" due to its unmatched security and reliability (after Bitcoin). I'm certain it will last a lifetime. Just buy, "hodl", and forget about the rest.
