It's not that I underestimate Solana, but Ethereum is too strong for Solana to beat, so it's impossible for me that Solana will be the next Ethereum.
Because there are actually a lot of projects that are trying to replace Ethereum or even want to be as big as Ethereum, but all ended in failure.
Ethereum is indeed too difficult to catch, because besides Ethereum has a solid development team, Ethereum will always evolve so other projects
can't follow.
Not to mention the advantages of Ethereum as an old project, it already has a very large popularity, even the Ethereum community is very large.
That's why Ethereum has always been under Bitcoin for a long time, and no other altcoins have been able to displace Ethereum from the second
position on coinmarketcap, That's because Ethereum is indeed too strong and it must be admitted that even though it has shortcomings it is still
the best altcoin until now. So like you said Solana has to work even harder if they want to be as big as Ethereum, let alone be the next Ethereum,
for Solana beating BNB looks like it's going to be difficult.
