Yes i agree we've had many would be ethereum killers. However Ethereum will die though. No doubt in my mind. it's survived not based on efficiency reasons. it's survived the same reason that bitcoin survived and that is because it became a banking toy. It's not useful .. it's actually all garbage.
.. However it became a speculative bankers toy.. the bankers didn't want to just have bitcoin so they chose ethereum

Both are utterly useless. .These are crap projects. The venture capitalist it's good for their books it's useless to everyone else. It's just a toy every decade the banks need new products. it will die though simply because eventually someone will tip the scale like pulse chain and it will constantly have projects chipping away at it.. so it won't ever gain a huge valuation from where it's at now.. unlike bitcoin unless it becomes a secondary store of value which could happen.. i don't deny that but all i'm saying is as far as development goes its like zero reasons to build on ethereum. The new development will come from projects like pulse chain and some others maybe fathom or solana or whatever.

Ethereum is finished it's just a secondary store of value to make miners a ton of money just like bitcoin did.. it's just all complete useless trash to be honest with you. I think the pulse fork won't kill it because pulse will fork all the ethereum projects and the fees to run them will be like zero.. so alot of project developers will try their hats on the pulse chain and some new ones.. it won't kill ethereum but it's just going to keep chipping away at it.. ethereum can't exist in a unique position like bitcoin. ethereum unfortunately due to it's strucuture actually has to do something.. right now defi and nfts keep it alive but i believe defi how it exist now and nfts will all fizzle out in a few years.. so bitcoin the trash it is will be around as a crypto stable coin because nobody will ever trust these other crap stable coins..

However ethereum is a ticking time bomb.. anybody investing in ethereum i think are nuts in the long term. So i could be wrong but i do believe the rest of the population won't get into crypto until crypto really does something significant beyond defi farming ponzi scheme crap and nft air in a bottle crap that's the only things that keep it alive.. crypto hasn't done anything of significance beyond that. So i really believe the rest of the population will freeze before they come in and right now we just have risk takers and mavericks and a small percentile of crazy people, lol.. no real solid economy here as of yet.. More like a really good gambling economy but nothing concrete is established yet.. yes i believe that will change in the future but bet your bottom dollar ethereum will end up dead at some point. It's no way it survives this. Bitcoin may but not ethereum.
