Will Ethereum last forever?

[asriloni]

For me yes Ethereum will remain forever as long as Vitalik reputation and passion is there.

IMO vitalik has nothing to do with how long ethereum can still exist in the crypto. Ethereum was a decentralized smartcontract system that build in the network from the so many miners/nodes or validators after ethereum will be migrating to the POS. that means what can keep ethereum will still exist must be the validators and miners. Vitalik has nothing to do with it. The miners and validators will be determining how long ethereum will survive.
This is just my 2 cents dude.

What's your opinion on this? Will Ethereum last forever? Or will it eventually die? Do you think it'll retain its place as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap for long? If not, why? Do competitors stand a chance against ETH? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ethereum was the first altcoin to use smart contracts and it was revolutionary, this is what makes ethereum special and cannot be shifted
we all often hear news about the emergence of the "altcoins ethereum killer" but to this day no one can kill it

ethereum will continue to survive and be in second place marktecap, the position is irreplaceable

BSC needs more time to compete with Ethereum but BSC has a chance to be number two in the position. But if ethereum can have another update and people still trust ethereum, it seems BSC will not have an opportunity to beat ethereum. Ethereum will last for a long time but we do not know how long it will be. We can only use the benefit from ethereum while we do not just choose ethereum to make money because many other coins can give us a chance to make more money.

If you look at the projects most of them migrated to other chains which means that BSC and the rest of the chains like HOO will be relevant even if Ethereum resolves their issues and you need to understand all the projects that took the ETH chain was struggling because of higher transaction fees for over an year and you cannot expect everyone to stick to that and i wont be surprised if those valuation rises again.

Of course, ethereum will survive and will continue to grow. platforms are constantly being developed and this will continue to grow their market adoption. altcoin trading dominance will probably remain ethereum for a long time.

Some questions that I do see on this forum aren't sometimes a serious ones and they don't really require an answer, there is google for every country to search for answers.
Ethereum isn't something that will die anytime soon in my opinion and even despite many developers running into new projects and creating hype, it's still the best performing altcoin after bitcoin and it's been developed everyday to serve its purpose and customers. Upcoming development is going to shift market sentiment very soon to Ethereum.

It means not forever, man. Your statement implies that if Vitalik is no longer in Ethereum, it won't survive. I think you may be right about this? But how if Vitalik's son or another person who leads Ethereum platform? I think there is still a chance for Ethereum to survive, surely not lasts forever. What I mean, as long as there is someone as a leader in Ethereum platform, it still can survive longer.

Vitalik is just a human dude and it's not even a system that will be last forever as long as the main factor to make it still active. Vitalik can disappear anytime but it's not with the miners. As long as miners are still ative contributing to the network and it will still be alive. All of the nodes must be shut down to make ethereum die and it's quite impossible to make it happen as the nodes spread around the world.
How do you do that? Ethereum will always stay here

Nothing lasts forever as the saying goes. But ethereum's lifespan may live longer than its counterpart. We can't know its future, maybe after 20 years or so, there will be new technology, more sophisticated than eth network. So I don't think eth can last forever, it may innovate to adopt the changing environment. But just like others, it will also reach its end of life in this space.

[Hannahanto]

I think Ethereum will retain its place as the second largest digital currency by market cap after bitcoin. Bitcoin will remain being the leader of the crypto space.
Fun fact is the more new projects come in on daily basis the more the crypto space grows and this coins (bitcoin and Ethereum) are just way forward and I don't think anything can make it die for a thousand years to come. I see Ethereum as second. Some times fundamentals can just come in and change things though but as for the market cap I don't see that happen. Eth won't die it will keep producing more children underneath

[Psynthax]

in my opinion, technology always have life span, but maybe if it's keep being developed it could have a longer life span,
but still a technology will always gets replaced by a newer technology, so maybe eth will not last forever. as the saying by people, nothing last forever, so does with ethereum, it's now considered to be new technology maybe within decade it will be considered as an old technology, no one knows for sure.

Your words do make sense, since the beginning technology did not last forever. There are always new technologies more sophisticated that will replace
the previous technology. That's what happens on computers and smartphones, new types always appear that have more sophisticated technology.
Likewise in the crypto world, I believe one day there will be a replacement for Ethereum, but we don't know when that will happen. To be sure as long
as Ethereum is still growing, Ethereum will last longer, but there is no guarantee it will last forever.

[Boomber]

Of course Ethereum will last forever, because there are many popular projects running on Ethereum network (blockchain) until now, so it's impossible if Ethereum will die, so you don't have to worry about Ethereum, because Etheruem will definitely last forever and if you want to invest in Ethereum, then now is the right time to buy Ethereum, because the price of Ethereum is still low and can still increase very high, so if you invest in Ethereum at this time, then of course you will get a big profit in the future, because Ethereum is one of the best cryptocurrency ​to invest in the long term.

It has to be it since the ETH platform has taken their technology to the next level and they're planning to develop it, even more, advance to its current platform. Anyway, when the platform keeps developing and creating something which their competitor doesn't have, it will last longer because people will still use their platform as long as they will listen to some of their user's demands and requests.

Although it makes sense with what you mention and but back to the development team and if the development team always adapts to the ever-evolving technological advances I think Ethereum will still exist and remain the king of altcoins.
and as far as I know Ethereum is always updating and fixing its shortcomings and adapting to technological advancements, and it all depends on the development team how to maintain the position to remain the best and unbeatable because in it many great people and besides that investors will believe more in the coin old and the oldest than the new.

[Fundamentals Of]

Bitcoin and Ethereum will not last forever. Time will come both of them will become obsolete and a better technology will prevail and replace them. But that might take a lot of time. For now, Ethereum is doubtless the next most trusted cryptocurrency. It will remain to be there alongside Bitcoin. Also, Ethereum is also fast developing. It doesn't run out of new updates and development. Other altcoin projects will probably remain inferior compared to Ethereum.

Whether Bitcoin and Ethereum will last long or not I don't know,
but indeed as the era of technology is also getting more sophisticated,
and for now both Bitcoin and Ethereum I think are still irreplaceable and both are still growing of course

I believe that both will last long. How long is long, I can hardly say, but with the constant upgrade of Ethereum, I think the project could hardly be replaced with a competing project in the next decades. Ethereum is still releasing new innovation after another.

As to Bitcoin, the name itself could even be enough for it to continue enjoying the trust of crypto supporters. Of course, it is the one and only truly decentralized cryptocurrency. The upgrades are not as regular but just recently Taproot is already on board and would take effect come November.

If he wants to buy ethereum, maybe he needs to wait for a while as the trend is down for a little. There will be a correction to the ethereum price.
Bitcoin price now is back to $39k level and ethereum follow to go down although not much.
So that will be his choice to buy ethereum right now or wait for more to find the right price for him.
Maybe he can buy for a small amount to test where the price will moves later while he can prepare the other money to buy for more if the price is down deeper.

as long as there are no problems that could stop the technology development being carried out in a short time.
because if a platform makes a mistake from the network system used then it is an opportunity for other platforms to get a chance.
we should learn from what ethereum did so that transaction fee skyrocketed. At that time, Binance launched the BSC which became the best alternative to the problems faced by many new projects as well as old projects. even though the price of ETH has become very expensive, you can see that trading in ERC tokens is not worth the increase in the price of ETH

[WalkerIVIV]

I don't think it will, after all there is new projects coming up to the surface everyday and they all offer many good things like ronin that is used by nft, why it was used by axie infinity because eth is not suitable for newer projects like games with nft which require fast transaction speed, eth is not suitable for many newer things like games, maybe if they decide to make eth faster and cheaper it could live longer but it seems eth is also slow in update.

that's why development will continue. the ethereum team should be able to figure out the market that has mostly moved to other networks. looks like this year ethereum is really getting hit by a new network.
they can only provide long-term updates that are being done. although still in delay, I hope as you say. ethereum could give better hope for the future of crypto trading.

To answer this question, you must first at least know how long the cryptocurrency itself will last. Without knowing the final position in relation to it on the part of the states, one cannot yet be sure that the cryptocurrency as a whole will exist for a very long time.
Secondly, the cryptocurrency continues to develop very rapidly and this development can also lead to the fact that it will change, including quantitatively and qualitatively.
Now we can only say that ethereum remains one of the most promising coins and that if significant changes take place in the cryptocurrency, this will affect it last.
