NFTs Dapps DeFis and the so called ICOs a few years back were all powered by exorbitant gas fees and we are now facing the similar situation through uniswap instant swaps. Ethereum has been facing extraordinary congestion since a long time last year and we have moved to some new highs recently. I guess, this should be one of the reasons Vitalik isn't limiting the supply of Ethereum.
I have been a user of ETH network since the beginning of 2017 but have dropped them altogether after I lost some
BTCitcoins by investing in so called legit ICOs
Damn, the bits should be valued around $20k or $25k now and the worst part of the sob story is that all the ICOs which I invested had some really great potentials and a few were featured in famous daily newspapers
If the devs had build a strong coin since 2017-2018 it would have been one among the strongest in the crypto market
IMO ETH 2.0 would never be a refreshing change and all these NFT/Digital Art hype would survive only a few years or so. Bitcoin and XMR would lead the world as the real decentralized digital currencies in the near future
