You might be right, ETH might be holding 2nd place in CMC for a long time but I see XRP as a serious competitor and do not see BNB as serious competition at all.
XRP has historical volume behind it. It will be a successful coin for years to come but BNB is a relative baby in terms of longevity.
The key points here are: When we want to compare two coins we have to compare them in two criteria at least:
- One, their price, of course. Most people compared two assets like this, but it is not enough.
- Two, their ecosystem: By mention about ecosystem, I meant how widely use cases two assets been used in real life so far. In addition, how big their ecosystem are (in ecosystem's market values).
Combination of two criteria will help us have clearer and more exact comparisons between two assets (whatever assests you want to compare).
People often forget the second indicator, ecosytem market value, that is very important, but they missed it all.
When applying the combination of two criteria: Ethereum will definitely maintain its second position in crypto.
