Another alternative for Ethereum.
--snip--
I am just afraid that people will start comparing or fighting for their layer 1 chains, like AVAX, Solana, and other chains. But overall, I am happy to see Avalanche is growing fast, it is helping the DeFi grow more.
This is already happening and now Ethereum supporters are calling all of these other PoS coins as "centralized" and pointing out the team allocations etc while comparing the same with Ethereum (Not that it was itself democratized in any way since beginning). All of this is happening while Ethereum itself is planning to move to L2.
I agree that it is better to have more options in the L1 space. All of these will anyways never be PoW. So, in away, they'll always be centralized. If there is a market for trading of stablecoins and all sorts of new projects which give back insane returns, then there is no reason that smaller players should be priced out by Ethereum fees while those sitting on thousands of Eth from the early days buy up all the liquidity, all the IEOs and make the smaller players pay for their rent.
With platforms like Solana and Avax, people just have option to use cheaper fees to try and trade shitcoin against each other. Whoever gets out first before the inevitable dump cycle begins for those platform on the platform projects, wins. When you've won enough of these farming pump and dumps, you can go back to getting some stability in the form of BTC.
Anybody who stays invested only in these PoS coins with all of their portfolio will eventually be left behind by one of the coordinated dumps that they can never be part of. So, Always trade some of your PoS coins for WBTC. The fee maybe high to come back to the on-chain network but having WBTC on some of these alternate chains can keep your portfolio risk-free and balanced in the long term.
