How are you, everyone? I hope you are feeling a little lighter and better today. I am fine. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the crypto world, so today I sat down to write my observations about Ethereum. First of all, let me say that this is not written by a big analyst. As an ordinary user, I am trying to tell you in my own words what I have seen and heard for a long time.
I have seen Ethereum a little differently from the beginning. Because it is not just a coin, but an idea. It has long been said that Ethereum will be the “world computer,” where everyone can create their own apps, without any central control. The idea is really nice. But in reality, it has not always been that easy.
In my experience over the past few years, using Ethereum has often been difficult for ordinary people. The gas fees are sometimes too high, and the network is slow. When someone new comes in, they are a little scared at first. I think this is where Ethereum has often fallen behind. Maybe it has been too late to solve real problems while trying to maintain a very idealistic approach.
Meanwhile, other blockchains have moved forward quickly. Many people have turned away after hearing about low fees and fast transactions. I have noticed this myself. However, Ethereum has a different strength that is not easily overlooked. That is trust and security.
Recently, when large financial institutions have been bringing their digital assets to the Ethereum main network, one thing is clear: the internal structure is still very strong. No matter what is said on the outside, deep down, Ethereum is still ahead in terms of trust.
I also liked reading Vitalik Buterin's New Year's speech. He says to return to the basics again, decentralization, freedom, and long-term thinking. But this time it's not just about dreaming, but also about making it usable in reality.
Friends, my own analysis is that Ethereum is going through a crucial time now. There are opportunities ahead, but also risks. If things can be made easier for ordinary people, then Ethereum can become a big part of not only the crypto world, but also the future of digital life. Now it remains to be seen whether they can really walk that path.
