The thing is, if the high fee still unresolved after 2.0 and people slowly leaving eth, the high fee problem will solve itself and the fee will become normal again since there's no traffic. What we expect from ETH is to somehow come up with a solution to solve the scalability problem for mass adoption but whether ETH 2.0 gonna solve it or not one thing is for sure that ETH not gonna die.

That's just 1 in 10,000 chance and only small amount of people gets the UNISWAP airdrop compared to the percentage of crypto users around the world and not gonna happen for the second time.
Most of people still trying to make money out of investing and trading but it's a lot more difficult to gain profit than losing the money so OP is pretty much on point about this as of now.

I think the adoption is already fast enough, there are so many problem with using crypto in many countries including legality and taxes. If you see any digital payment out there they are trying to burn their money for marketing meanwhile bitcoin don't even need that and people around the world already know about it. If you want to make btc adoption faster maybe always suggest those big e-commerce platform to accept crypto like bitcoin.

It's 2017 all over again when people are thinking that everything crypto related will be a huge success but replace word crypto with defi. I know it's fine hyping up about something but if it's to the point where even the shittiest defi project get full attention and being thrown money by these so called investor then it will become a huge mess in the future and probably become a disaster like the start of 2018 back then.

Sometimes future plan is as good as nothing if the people behind the project doesn't even follow that plan or these roadmaps/future plan is just there for decoration purpose.
Crypto market is indeed unpredictable and efven if you trying to understand their motto and plan it's still unpredictable because these two thing you mentioned aren't actually relevant.
If you want more relevant factor to decide whether a projet worth holding or not try to see their progess, partnership, product and so on.

Eventually Ethereum devs team will come up with a solution to this problem but it might be difficult, definitely take more than "immediately" and so many people also stimulating the growth of Defi projects and Dapps which uses Ethereum blockchain meaning the scalability issue will always exist even in the future ethereum upgrade. If ethereum could solve this fee issue then Ethereum itself already immune against overwhelming scalability issue.

That's actually true, the market of defi is too niche and actually too small. but if defi projects keep stealing the spotlight then it's not impossible for it to have bigger market in the future. but it could also be a trends that already happened in crypto and is a trend cycle where it will eventually fade away. but honestly the effort to change the traditional finance to a more trustless system which some of the defi project brought is kinda promising.

Kinda hard to imagine they solving the fee problem anytime soon. even bitcoin back then rolling out lightning network to solve transaction bottleneck problem takes a while to be effective. But I wonder how ETH gonna perform when it comes to transaction confirmation if they decide to switch to POS in the future though we can't expect it to arrive anytime soon.

ETH is flooded with transaction if uniswap and all the kind of Defi services still exist i doubt the fee will go down. This points out that ethereum actually have scalability issue that need to be resolved and not really ready for mass adoption. So, in the meantime while the dev (probably) trying to figure out how to solve the crazy fee it's better to switch into using another alts because the other alts fee just so much lower than eth.

Binance's stable coin or any other exchange's stablecoin is honestly only good at their ecosystem while USDT is the most widely accepted stablecoin till now and have existed for many years without any scam acussation.
It's just a matter of your choice and heavily depends on which exchange you decide to use.

if that's true then you are really lucky person and I wonder how much activity you've made within the UNI platform to get that much of a reward?
the aidrop is honestly really unexpected and really worth it for those who have used uniswap in the past. it's actually crazy how a project like this could give out so much money and grows so rapidly.

Funny because this kind of excuse is already used by so many people making bounty. asking KYC after the bounty was done I mean why don't ask it from the beginning of the campaign.

Scam will always exist but to steal personal information that's crucial is simply criminal. Imagine having our passport floating around in dark web this kind of scam, should be hunted down by cyber police tbh.

well tether has mentioned about audit in their website but man that's honestly kinda unbelievable that tether market cap could grow that significantly and faster.
the fact that tether actually partner with some banks out there make it sounds reliable but public still need a lot more transparency than just that.
If tether could prove their grow as legit I think it will be better for their business and reputation.

There's no other way to retrieve it than contacting coinbase, the address is in their control but unfortunately problem like this usually ignored because, well they assume that it's the users' fault not theirs and there must be some kind of complicated process if they really able to retrieve it. Best way is as mentioned above keep contacting them and save transaction ID if they in the future accept usdt which honestly have a really small chance to be accepted there but hopefully it will.

Still far away until max supply reached but my opinion if the overall market capitalization of cryptocurrency reaching significantly in the future Ethereum value will automatically go up but only if there's no competitor that somehow could make ethereum kinda obsolete.

True since block reward becomes more fewer and fewer but it's true that bitcoin max supply will be reached far in the future.

Buying coin at the peak of its price is kinda dangerous tho and if seeing its price stats there's big chance that it will go down again. honestly it's kinda difficult decision but if you are enough with 20% whats wrong with cashing out? if you want to invest to ETH again you can make another investment another time.
I'd suggest just do what you want to do whether selling or holding so that you won't regret later and I'm telling you that doing investment in crypto is full of regrets and emotion rollercoaster.

Telegram is now irrelevant for judging a project. So many manipulation can be done by using the smallest effort like buying bot accounts or even paying people to create fake chats. Of all things telegram is the most unaccurate if being used for choosing project. heck, even the shill are too overbearing there and filled with too much opportunist.

Unfortunately that's true. It doesn't matter how great the upcoming upgrade if the fee is as ridiculous as it is today they better fix it first and deal with the other problem after that. The fee is simply ridiculous to the point where it's not worth it to send money with ETH anymore.
Maybe but if they do nothing resolving the issue it's gonna happen again and uniswap isn't gonna go anytime soon.

These scammers are like an endless stream. you report their website right now then by tomorrow they already created 100 new fake website. In twitter they also trying to impersonate some popular figure and try to deceive people although it may not work for majority of people with logic, it seems they still trying that method of scam.
There should be an extension that blocks this kind of website embedded to the browser so that people won't fall into this scam.

Well TBH there are plenty of coins that follows an already popular coin as still gain the favor of the masses although some of them might just be a blatant rip off but usually a good coin that gaining fame for a long time using a rather unique name because in this case when a coin is really serious in building their own fame they gonna use a unique name to represent their brand so that their marketing effort not go into waste.
But I do agree that following popular crypto name somehow make the coin sounds fishy and scammy instead of making it sounds better in the ear.
