Ethereum fees are increased A LOT and it makes much more sense to stop sending transactions because we won’t make a profit from purchased coins, especially on Uniswap. If we don’t need to send a transaction, it makes much more send to avoid it and wait for cheaper fees.
But avoiding transactions shouldn’t be an issue for a well working platform. It is not how Blockchain should work. Ethereum has huge issues and it needs to be solved from Ethereum developers.

If it’s not gonna solved soon, we will see coins rising providing a better, cheaper and faster platform, where everyone can use it again and don’t suffer from high fees.
Many projects are building own solutions currently, to address expensive Ethereum’s weakness. It is quite hard to get an overview.

Here is my ranking list for coins if a coin has a chance to overtake Ethereum, which one would it be:

1. Avalanche. Avalanche is completely different from existing projects and experts have given Avalanche a high chance to be a big game changer for Blockchain and mainstream adoption because of interoperability, great decentralization and scalability in addition to low transaction fees. Avalanche was reviewed by SEQ and received a positive rating: https://medium.com/avalanche-hub/avalanche-consensus-the-biggest-breakthrough-since-nakamoto-66e9917fd656
2. Tezos. Tezos has been developed diligently be Tezos devs. It’s a solid, but very undervalued project. Tezos was reviewed by Blockgeeks and received a positive rating: https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-tezos/
3. IOTA. IOTA has been a leading project for innovative approaches but IOTA developers had difficulties to deliever. Currently, IOTA is very undervalued and can be a very wise pick because IOTA has made huge developments recently, like IOTA Chrysalis (IOTA 1.5).

4. Cosmos. Cosmos is a promising project for a scaling blockchain platform. It wasn’t hyped yet because developers are still diligently building. However, experts have some concerns of being too centralized and Cosmos has too high inflation. Cosmos was reviewed by SEQ and received a mixed rating: https://medium.com/@CryptoSeq/cosmos-an-early-in-depth-analysis-at-the-ecosystem-of-connected-blockchains-part-one-508cd679bac5
5. Waves. Waves is an established network of a next generation Ethereum platform but has failed so far to meet expectations. However, it is a big and experienced developer team and Waves seems to be very undervalued currently.
6. Solana. Solana has started developing under Anatoly Yakovenko’s hatch just recently. It has made big progress and is shilled by prominent YouTubers and marketing figures. Anatoly Yakovenko has developed a good marketing strategy but it remains unclear, if Solana can be a top aspirant for DeFi, because concerns remained, when Anatoly Yakovenko could not respond to critics sufficiently, when he was recently confronted. Solana received an endorsement from Coinbureau: https://www.coinbureau.com/review/solana-sol/
7. Polkadot. Polkadot was invented by Gavin Wood, who developed Ethereum before. Polkadot has already established a big ecosystem and is still growing. But a high inflation, limited scalability and centralisation (dPoS) are issues for Polkadot. Polkadot was reviewed by SEQ and received a mixed rating: https://medium.com/@CryptoSeq/polkadot-an-early-in-depth-analysis-part-three-limitations-and-issues-d8b0a795a3e
8. Cardano. Cardano has already a very high Marketcap and it’s very likely an overvalued coin. Cardano was started almost 5 years ago from Charles Hoskinson, an abandoned Ethereum developer. Cardano has constantly developed but in addition to a good marketing strategy, it hasn’t achieved a working mainnet platform of contracts, like Ethereum. Release was always pushed back and promised “soon” (you know). Delays are usual for Cardano.
9. Algorand. Algorand was very promising before it started but a bad planned ICO and a huge dump after launch, where VC and rich participants sold, caused a dump from 3$ to 0.20$ and left a huge loss for many members. Wasted opportunity but developers are still building.

Ethereum 2.0 remains superior here because it is not included in my list but we need to see how Ethereum 2.0 will look like. Ethereum 2.0 will be huge, for sure, but until it is live, competitors have a chance of overtaking Ethereum.

What’s your list of potential coins overtaking Ethereum?

Polka dot seems to be the most practical project to me and they have already created many success stories in a short period of time after their launch so im optimistic about it.
At the same time i think Eth will come back stronger especially London upgrade can prove to be a parabolic stimulus for it.
