Why do people still use ETH?

[pantek talacuik]

I stopped using ETH on Ethereum and moved to Fantom and NEAR Aurora. I got sick of the fees and failed transactions.

Maybe it's your choice to get fed up with Ethereum or stop using it. but you can see for yourself that Ethereum is a coin that many people need to make transactions on any exchange. I don't forbid you to hate Ethereum because it is all your choice.

Ethereum still have big potential and capacity to grow, people believe ethereum platform have improved their lives in Cryptocurrency so far and unknowingly stick with ethereum platform whether is serving the purpose for which it's been used.  The cheap fee is one of the reasons ethereum platform is preferred and that is elusive now on ethereum  platform.  Furthermore, the unending promises of better platform is tiring.  Despite all of this challenges on ethereum network,  ethereum is still better than many altcoin!

That is because we all have differences and of course, we can't help people to think like this and like that if they don't want to. But the fact that ETH is a well-established platform in the market and it supports many projects, makes the majority choose ETH. Only just the gas fee making people not use ETH in the previous months but as it was decreasing, some just have to return using the platform, while the others move away.

[uneng]

I wouldn't say ETH fees are fair now, but they are much better than they were months ago. Let's say it's acceptable.
The point is that every network with huge demand will face expensive fees in transactions. Alternative networks can be useful for some people who can't wait ETH fees go down or have to make tons of transactions daily, but they aren't going to replace ETH, because as soon as the demand for ETH decreases, fees decrease as well and then more people start using it again.

ETH has always been one of the top priority choices to reach this market after bitcoin. While we can complain about its transaction costs as well as its speed of completion, the popularity it creates as limitations on its capabilities are evident. It will be annoying for people with small investments and frequent transactions , this problem should see themselves as doing so again and blame ETH.

That may be the reason people don't use Ethereum in the next few months, if there is a new transaction fee that is cheaper, Ethereum will probably be reused. but it all depends on everyone at this time.

Recently, Ethereum transaction cost surpasses the Bitcoin transaction cost even though Ethereum is the top popular blockchain in the crypto world. Definitely, most of your favorite tokens will support the ETH blockchain in the future. Although now so many projects are supporting the BSC blockchain. We are getting closer to BSC transaction cost or in future Ethereum will cross. This is the reason we are using ETH blockchain.

[Baihaki Khaizan]

you tell stories and complain when you feel wronged, you say you've had success with ethreum, but when ethreum transaction fees you blame it and in my opinion that's unfair.  here everyone can make their choice and with their own perspective, each platform must have advantages and disadvantages, so be wise, don't complain, make your best choice and achieve success.

It is very difficult to stop using ETH since most of the coins are created on the Ethereum blockchain. Accordingly, by refusing to use Ethereum, you miss a lot of profitable projects, which, with a decrease in the dominance of bitcoin, will show a very good price increase.

A lot of projects that have been launched recently are not running on top of the Ethereum network. Binance Smart Chain seems to be the preferred hub for now for any new project launched, or most new projects. But there are so many older projects that people are still holding onto, that there is no way around Ethereum. Everyone is waiting for Ethereum to scale and succeed and make their token valuable.

[armanhusni]

While the conditions are exactly as you say, Ethereum has a different story and perspective for its users. Eth enthusiasts are very high, especially when the price has dropped in recent days, If I see Ethereum has strong fundamentals, I'm sure developers will find the best SOLUTION for its users to minimize transaction costs as you mentioned above.

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

ETH is superior to other cryptocurrencies with regards to decentralized applications. Though it can cost more, ETH ecosystem is proven to be the best platform to innovate decentralized finance.

ETH used to be the most preferred layer 1 blockchain back in the day (since its inception to to 3-4 years ago). As a matter of fact, it became the #1 most used blockchain in 2017 after 98% of all ICOs were conducted on eth that enabled a lot of people to start buying and holding to those ETH tokens. Anyway, this isn't 2017 anymore and ETH has gotten worse ever since. That's why the rise of other layer 1 and layer 2 solutions.

This is why I'm bullish on layer 1 solutions like NEAR protocol. Aside from the dirt cheap tx fees, less than 1 second transaction finality. Not to make the fact that it's eth-compatible, thanks to Aurora (A layer 2 solution) built on NEAR that is fully compatible with ethereum and has a bridge (called rainbow bridge) that allows NEAR <> Ethereum to be bridged.


ETH 2.0 has a lot of big promises and features most of which are already available in layer 1 solutions like Avalanche, NEAR and solana so I wouldn't put to much hope on it in the long term.

I think Ethereum will continue to do well with the help of sidechains like Fantom and NEAR Aurora.

Ethereum exchange charge is as of now not an issue and August is close which we will see shockingly better and less expensive exchange charge on Ethereum organization, the cerebral pain is now finished, with respect to the inquiry you posed to numerous individuals simply lean toward ETH and you and I can't alter their perspectives.

hope everything goes smoothly. because some updates that have been planned by the ethereum team also experienced delays. this is related to the ethereum 2.0 update that the community has been waiting for.
the actual transaction costs will either affect the total or not. because several times we see the instability of transaction fees that are very far away. still too fast to go up and down too.

[MoneyJ]

ETH pioneered blockchain application and gave logic. Now with ETH, DeFi's and NFTs are in force to reckon with in cryptospace. Some will say too expensive and slow but the technology is way beyond wonders. Possibilities are endless with blockchain application development.

I see that too, many of new projects deployed in various smart contract blockchain and its actually a good thing since it could reduce or atleast prevent eth from getting too overloaded after all a project will need different specification, for example axie that needed a blockchain that could make many transactions in short amount of time. Its all about preferences that the project have, atleast with the spreading of developer to many blockchain it could bring newer smart contract platform come to life.

The issue with this point of view is that Ethereum always claimed it wants to become the center of all action when it comes to decentralized applications. Hence they have to solve the scalability problem. It would also make sense to have one place that you go to when you need decentralized apps. It is the same as when you go to the Appstore of Apple. Imagine you would have 8 app stores on your mobile phone, you would freak out of course.

My acquaintance with Ethereum began in 2017, then it was a very good technology. Probably everyone remembers, ICO, Bounty, crazy profits! I have been through this and am very grateful to ETH, but now everything is different.

If you did not use DEX, did not trade in the DeFi sector, then I envy you very much, because it was simply impossible to do this on the Ethereum blockchain LOL)

I started trading in DEX last summer, undoubtedly it was the easiest profit in my life, but then everything changed dramatically)))

With the arrival of more and more new users, the increase in the price of Ethereum, the huge load on the network, I was just shocked by the commission.

On average, I spent about 1-2 thousand dollars on a transaction. When the commission was $30 for the sell/buy exchange, then you don't really notice it. BUT when the commission became  $150 one way, I realized that this was just a robbery.

Yes, I understand that when you change 20 thousand dollars, you don't think much about it. But when you give 15-30% of your turnover to a transaction for a commission, it's just shit.

I spend a thousand dollars, and I give 150-200 dollars just to nowhere! What kind of nonsense is this guys?) Can't you see that Ethereum is just a piece of shit?

And also this famous Failed))) hahah. Do you think that you will not pay for the canceled transaction? LOL) You will pay 2-3 times if the hype around the coin is huge and your slippage just does not have time!

As a result, I stopped trading on DEX. I was looking for alternatives like Tron DEX, EOS DEX and so on. But due to the low liquidity, you will not earn a lot of money there.

So here's a question for you, everyone who trades on DEX from Ethereum. Don't you feel sorry for your money at all? Do you want to wait 10 minutes for an exchange? Do you want to see failed every time you did not guess the commission? You guys are masochists!

Switch to other DEX, use other blockchains, forget about Ethereum with their eternal promises!

Let's discuss what alternatives to Ethereum currently exist? Let's figure it out together!

Aurora on NEAR protocol scales Ethereum now. We don't have to wait for ETH 2.0, POS, or sharding because NEAR has all that stuff now. NEAR protocol has infinite TPS with sharding because it doesn't use a beacon chain. NEAR can run Ethereum in a smart contract (Aurora) and unlike Matic/Polygon, Aurora allows gas to be paid with ETH and developers can perform cross contract calls. Users on Aurora have a seamless experience, it's just like Ethereum but faster and cheaper.

[Traderbtcc]

You talking about something that's already been fixed mate, Ethereum transaction fee is no longer a problem and August is close which we will see even better and cheaper transaction fee on Ethereum network, the headache is already over, as for the question you asked many people just prefer ETH and you and I can't change their minds

I don't think this has been resolved yet, AFAIK Ethereum 2.0 is still yet to be deployed fully and it has been postponed to next year, if you call $4-5 transactions cheap then I presume you're rich, cause other people really can't waste such amount on just one transaction, other blockchains like NEAR Protocol takes less than >$0.01 for gas fees compared to Ethereum, the only reason why Ethereum is still up there is because its the most popular altcoin else even the ETH 2.0 upgrade means nothing cause other blockchains platforms like Near Protocol are already offering what eth 2.0 is said to offer. 

[rosemariefrancis]

I have heard many of my friends complain about this as well, but now they have reduced it and the update is due in August so I think things from here on are going to get better

If NEAR can do all the things you are talking about and if NEAR already solved all the problems that Ethereum has while still being fully decentralized (which I don't know), it is suspicious that the market has not recognized that in a way such that it is a multi billion dollar market cap coin. Is NEAR fully decentralized like Ethereum?

This coin pioneered some of those things indeed but we shouldn't underestimate other coins that are doing great by creating and innovating something into their chain, like you see many nft games, created blockchain that isn't expensive for making rapid transactions and suits well for gaming platform.
if only eth could fix its problem faster its gonna be great but sadly they can't. but i honestly like if the project being spread to many blockchains based on their own need.
