Are you worried about ETH becoming inflationary again?

[alltalk]

Ethereum is still one of the favorite coins for investment even though its movement was not good last year because it had not touched its ATH.

Indeed. Ethereum remains one of the favorite altcoins.
It may be quite subjective to claim the movement good or bad. In my personal point of view, there is nothing wrong with its price movement. To achieve the ATH requires the time, it sometimes can't be as people's expected.

it is likely that this year ethereum will show good progress in the market, maybe at the end of this month.

No one knows when it is. It can be this month, next month, or at the end of this year. However, if you're holding Ethereum, you surely must have confident with the price progress.

I also agree with the opinion of some people who say that big investors still like ethereum.

Sure. If the investors no longer like Ethereum, the market cap will be difficult to increase. But the market cap looks having good progress.

It seems that the failure mentioned by @philipma1957 refers to transactions.
We can compare that transactions from Ethereum are currently still considered very slow when compared to the speed of the Solana coin.
As far as I know, the speed of Solana coin transactions is faster than Ethereum coins up to thousands of coins in terms of speed comparison, so what @philipma1957 said refers to the comparison of coin speeds between Ethereum and Solana.

Ethereum's weakness has always been related to its transactions, both the speed and the higher transaction fee compared to other blockchain networks. Even with a higher gas fee value, other networks are also faster and smoother.

Although Ethereum has actually done several ways and in the end the fee has been quite low compared to what happened in the last bullish season, still, sometimes the Ethereum network fee is still considered quite high.

However, from another perspective, especially for investment, there is no doubt that ETH is a top altcoin that cannot be underestimated and is very worth it to have.

Maybe there are those who think differently, but in my opinion, ethereum is still the best so far, and it is very difficult to get rid of it from the reputation it has gained so far, Because until now there are still many investors who continue to survive and are always loyal to, continue to support ethereum to be in its current position.
You are right, that if it fails, the success that has been built well so far can be replaced by others and the proof is that ethereum is still surviving the onslaught of many who are growing and developing today and can still be until now.

Eth Foundation and Vitalik Buterin are both very famous, and conferences about Eth's updates always attract the attention of the community. Spot ETH ETFs are experiencing strong inflows... All confirm Eth's success in becoming a global phenomenon. In 2025, I believe that ETH will still be a worthy investment as crypto becomes extremely popular.  

SOL, BNB, and XRP are very strong, but they cannot compete with ETH even though ETH price is stagnant and ETH is at risk from inflation as burned fees decreases. When ETH price reaches a new ATH, all doubts will soon turn into FOMO

For now XRP, SOL and BNB can not compete with ethereum but in the next few years it seems that SOL has the potential to overtake ethereum, XRP is also in the third rank. If the community and demand for XRP start to be high, it is possible that we will see XRP overtake ethereum. but that will not happen in the near future, it still needs some time, maybe in the next cycle. let's see

The future always offers opportunities for all scenarios, let's wait and see together. Previously, BSC was seen as potentially catching up with Eth, but now XRP is the token with the greatest potential for this goal. Sol is growing well thanks to memecoins, especially TRUMP, but it seems that this growth is less sustainable due to a lack of value for users and the market.

I think in the long term, ETH will still be the top #2 to lead the technological trend of altcoins while BTC competes with gold to establish crypto's position in the global financial system! But other altcoins like XRP, ADA, and SOL can focus on specific areas such as remittances, governance, social interaction...

There is always an opportunity to be able to update, the current position, but it is not easy to be able to rival Ethereum even though at this time XRP is in third position and SOL and BNB is also not easy to do that. Because Ethereum has a community that until now is very solit even though the gas fee is high it is still liked and it becomes an attractive investment and will not be easy for other coins to shift.

For now, I still believe that it's difficult for other projects to catch up with or replace Eth, even though XRP and SOL have shown extremely impressive price increases. However, if Eth continues to show weakness on the price chart and token inflation is not addressed, community confidence will weaken and open up opportunities for more attractive projects.

Reforms are necessary for the Eth Foundation and the entire Eth ecosystem, especially attracting community attention and motivating ETH price increases in this uptrend.

Nothing wrong with being in a position that is not as high as ETH in cap.
If the blockchain is being updated and tested with new features - that's the main thing to strife for.
Innovation brings hype and funds flowing.

The crypto market offers opportunities for every project. XRP cap once surpassed ETH cap in 2017 and that could totally happen again this season. The stagnation of ETH price is really frustrating for investors, they can't figure out what's going on with the market's number two. It seems like the success of L2 has taken away a lot of momentum from L1 and brought it back to a state of token inflation.

Currently, Eth needs a major overhaul within the Eth Foundation. I hope they will soon select the best talents and a governance mechanism suitable for the new market phase to help ETH become a reserve asset for every nation!

I also strongly agree with your opinion, although currently XRP and Solana have increased and continue to move up, they will not be able to outperform Ethereum, Because Ethereum already has a good market and has been recognized and can always provide very positive results when it is time to reach the latest ATH and no one will let go of Ethereum just because of a momentary correction.

XRP and SOL might not outperform Ethereum and will not surpass it in terms of market cap, but in terms of profitability, XRP and SOL are giving way more profits than those Ethereum holders.

Until now, I want Ethereum to surpass the $4000 price, but we are nowhere near that currently. I don't know, but we aren't hearing any good things from Ethereum this current bull run. Yes, the community is there, but new money isn't pouring in on ETH and instead, it's been on either SOL or XRP hence, the price increase on both coins. Ethereum is a good long-term coin don't get me wrong. It's just that currently, the coin isn't doing that much price movement.

I also see it like that, it seems like ethereum is not showing good progress in the crypto market for this season and ethereum seems to be struggling.
Ethereum dev should have a good improvement so that its network can compete with new networks like solana which is currently hype.
don't let ethereum as the king of altcpin be abandoned by its investors

If XRP and SOL can really surpass ETH in marketcap, then we will have a big shuffle in this market when new history is created. In the past, the price increase and new ATH of ETH were often considered a signal for FOMO and altseason, but this may no longer be true in the future.

I really hope EF will be able to do something positive for the value of ETH in the market. The new team and new solutions will not be able to boost ETH price immediately, but they can create investor confidence and optimism. When they believe in the future of ETH, their buying pressure will push ETH price up.

Most of us, or we all expect for this. because it's really XRP and also SOL are projects that are actually quite promising. especially for these two coins, there is no doubt. not only on the size of their market cap, but also how can we not optimize the way to take profits as much as possible with our respective strategies, right? Now,  we are expecting that bullrun season,

I like stability and simplicity in the market rather than excessive fluctuations. Abnormal fluctuations can confuse investors and lead to unpredictable behaviors, I'm afraid this will cause the market to plummet as people prioritize safety over profit.

However, if XRP or SOL can surpass ETH, we'll have a lot of interesting things to follow this season. We've already had a lot of positive surprises with BTC, including a new ATH & spot ETF, if ETH also creates some kind of surprise, whether negative or positive, I'm ready for it
