Will Ethereum last forever?

[cryptoknows]

Ethereum will last longer especially with the introduction of NFT games and other similar platforms that will accelerate the use of tokens in the future which they also need the Ethereum service for their transactions. Literally, no one lasts forever in this world even us, we will perish someday. If you just ponder upon the good things that currently happening around the Ethereum network, that kind of question will have a positive answer. I see on Youtube these few weeks, most of the posts are regarding the NFT games. in this case, the popularity will sky-rocket increase at any moment a few months from now.

As for the huge gas fee on ETH. Sometimes the value of some collectible items is lower than the commission for their purchase, which makes the main (most popular) NFT projects very difficult to enter (personally, my acquaintance with NFT was terrible when gas prices did not fall below 200-250) There are blockchains based on which projects were made with a threshold of entry much lower, for example Near protocol with its Mintbase, Paras. Many artists and buyers can safely open the platform and start their NFT activities without huge losses in gas fee.

Ever since Ethereum was created in 2015, the whole crypto/Blockchain space improved in many ways that were never imagined. The ICO trend of 2017, and the current "De-Fi"/NFTs hype are all attributed to Ethereum's ever-rising popularity in the mainstream world. If it wasn't because of Ethereum, we wouldn't had a plethora of smart contract platforms to choose from. The crypto/Blockchain space would've been focused solely on finance, instead of serving as a hub for decentralized applications.

Without Bitcoin, we would have not seen the crypto market and the blockchain industry as big as of now.

Without Ethereum, we would have not seen the big ecosystem for smart contract platforms as of now.

Ethereum contributes a lot to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Don't let scam projects eliminate all contributions from Ethereum and Vitalik.

It's been 6 years since ETH came into inception, and now the smart contract platform is the second-largest blockchain network in the world. Some people compare ETH to BTC because of its focus on decentralization unlike any other cryptocurrency on the market today. As of this date, Ethereum has a large number of miners and nodes keeping the blockchain alive and healthy. If ETH continues to grow, it could live alongside Bitcoin for many years. But we all know that nothing lasts forever.

There are more competitors to Ethereum: Binance Smart Chain (still does not have their own blockchain), Polkadot, etc. They will contribute to the cryptocurrency ecosystem and challenge the leading position of Ethereum in altcoins. I am doubtful that they can beat Ethereum but their appearance and challenge to ETH is good.

What's your opinion on this? Will Ethereum last forever? Or will it eventually die?

It won't die but it might lose the leading position among altcoins. If Vitalik leaves the project and Ethereum community can not find any big brain to replace him. I do not think either of two will happen. Ethereum will be fine.

Don't you think that ETH today looks like an outdated blockchain? it is obvious that the pioneer effect with its blockchain functions will pass in less than a year (in my opinion). The ever-increasing, unjustifiably high price of gas, slow transactions and not as great scalability as many other projects with related functions, for example, Near protocol. A project with a much greater technological potential than the outdated ETH. 10,000 times less commission for any transactions of the near blockchain sooner or later squeeze out this bloated coin, which feeds everyone with promises about ETH2.0. Well, or you yourself mentioned POLKADOT, the project in less than a year approached the greatness of ETH. in general, Ethereum is an outdated technology bloated due to the fact that Vitalik was the first to offer such a concept.

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.

All things will come to an end because there is no such thing as forever, they are good as long as the developers keep up with the development of the project, and no projects can beat the Ethereum technology, based on what I see Ethereum is still doing great, and will likely stay as one of the top coins in the market.

[Chato1977]

I don't think there is such a word like forever in cryptocurrency but Ethereum will stay as long as bitcoin is staying .
because while bitcoin is making the market move remember that ethereum also making the altcoin move forward.
so it is a dual effect in the market each time there is a bullying.

[Traderbtcc]

It's hard to say if it's gonna be there forever. But i believe it has a chance to surpass BTC and become the crypto #1. It's improving and makes a lot for crypto market and not only when BTC is just a store of value.

Ethereum is certainly gonna be around for the long run, we can't say it will stay forever since we haven't really seen the end of life, but It's really surprising to see how desperate these eth folks are about Ethereum surpassing bitcoin, i will keep saying it, that's never going to happen, bitcoin will always be the number 1 and Ethereum should just settle for the second spot cause the first spot will always be meant for the first cryptocurrency which is Bitcoin BTC.

nothing lasts forever and in these 6 years of existence eth has had various fortunes between ups and downs but now when eth 2.0 arrives it will have new energies new interests a new way of staking so its near future is assured

[alpamar99]

I think it all depends on the ethereum developer, if the developer is serious in developing then it looks like ethereum will never be defeated by other altcoins let alone lost in circulation. Most altcoins are lost because of not being serious in their development, but I see ethereum is an altcoin that will get better and will never disappear in the market. ethereum is the best altcoin

right now if we talk about developers of course there is a very good clarity when Jeff Prestes talks about the hard fork which is expected to bring good news for eth.
apart from gas, which has been in question for a long time, it will decrease, I think eth will also start to be in demand again by most altcoin lovers.
and I think this will be a turning point for eth to go fast and hopefully for this year eth will be stable again

[blockman]

They say nothing last forever. But I think Ethereum would be here for the long term. It is the second most popular cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and it offers upcoming projects a platform to build on. It is surely here to stay.

It is a fact that nothing lasts forever and that's the same with what they say with bitcoin but they have to accept the reality that these great cryptocurrencies are here to stay in the long term. There is no doubt that they'll be part of the longer history of the market and they'll surely be the top choices no matter how many new projects come in. And Ethereum as being used by many projects, it is really going to stay as it's usage is being common to most developers despite some new contender have come up, still Ethereum will stay.

Ethereum has never stayed silent in terms of development, but some people have forgotten about this when there are other coins that are developing with a very positive trend, even though if we compare it with Ethereum, it is still nothing and still very little to compare

[indrakusumaindra]

i would say yes, Ethereum will survive cause i believe they always trying to be better. I do also believe ETH will be use by many enterprise as a public blockchain, we already see so many cases in supply chain that can help enterprise to reduce cost and it will be adopted by many enterprise, and currently i think the best blockchain for it is ETH.

Vitalik consistently continues to innovate ETH. now ETH 2.0 I think ETH is led by developers who are active, creative, innovative. it will continue to develop many thing in the future and I believe the value will also be higher because there are already many large projects depending on the ETH smart contract.

I'm not sure about forever staying but what i believe is Ethereum is here for us to make profit as long as we trusted this and as long as we wanted too.
ETH had been proven to be climbing with bitcoin for how many years now and also known to be an altcoin king.
so investing in this coin assures you income in long term as what bitcoin can do.

Lol really Staying Forever?  though ethereum team is keeping the progress  for this coin but of course forever is too much to mention .

[irsada]

I personally believe that ETH will continue to exist and maintain its position as the king of every altcoin, even though it now has some real competitors, it will never decrease the popularity of ETH among users.

[andriarto]

For me yes Ethereum will remain forever as long as Vitalik reputation and passion is there. Ethereum has a lot of competitors nowadays that also very good project and a user friendly. Not like Ethereum the gas sometimes is so high. Nevertheless it is still on rank #2.

yes that's true, besides that I think that what makes Ethereum still rank 2 and last forever is the community of Ethereum, so as long as there are still many people who invest in Ethereum and the community of Ethereum continues to grow, then of course it affects Ethereum to survive and be ranked 2 on coinmarketcap forever, therefore in my opinion Ethereum will always be feasible to be a long-term investment at any time, because the community of Ethereum will definitely continue to grow and make the price of Ethereum can continue to increase very high, so we will get a big profit from investing in Ethereum for long term.

I think trust in ethereum will continue to be maintained, as was the case yesterday when the ethereum network was abandoned by many users because it had a large fee, and at that time BSC became an option. we can see at that time where ethereum did not waver from its position until now, until there was an improvement in the network system

[Pelana vreo]

I think the popularity of Ethereum is not diminishing because we are still seeing ETH market cap at 2nd position coinmarketcup and I agree with you if ethereum will continue to exist, some new projects on the ethereum network are being developed and I think when the fork happened, the users who were using yesterday other blockchain networks will return to ethereum as transaction fees are currently back to normal

From what has been seen and proven, it is very clear that Ethereum is the best altcoin and has also gone through some very good development, including for the development of ETH 2.0 which many people are waiting for at the moment and it will take place tomorrow.

true to what you said, the development of ethereum which is currently underway is great and exciting news for ethereum users and holders. well, from that information, the ethereum developer has proven his seriousness in developing his product, namely ETH 2.0

ETH is having cool story so far. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how things play out. I'm sure we all got lambo, however I wouldn't bet anything against this crazy market. I know something is cooking. I'm planning to sell half of my holdings before London fork comes out in case of a dump and I can buy the dips.

I do not know about the other altcoins and shitcoins but ethereum and bitcoin last forever for sure. Societies resembles each assets and even right now just in 6th years of publishment its called petrol of the internet so can you imagine it in 60th anniversary?

[m. yasir]

ethereum will survive in the long term, ethereum has a different class with other Altcoins. their team is definitely stronger and more experienced when compared to emerging altcoins.

We should not use the word forever because nothing lasts forever, everything runs for a limited time, the right word is a long time or a specific time like ten or twenty years, Ethereum so far is looking for an update so they can keep up with the transactions and fees, many developers are doing cross-chain and they prefer creating their coin on Binance than on Ethereum.
