I see some crazy numbers being thrown around, one is an Ethereum coin going to 100k in 2030. How can you tell if a price prediction is too high in relation to market cap? Some people say some coins cannot hit a certain market cap. How can you tell if a market cap value is too much for a certain coin? I understand that there are coins where there are great number of circulating supply, but why can't they reach trillions in market cap?
From all the "old" coins Ethereum is the one with the biggest utility and it has the most use cases. Just look at all the defi hype that started last year it all began with ethereum based projects like uniswap.
Of course now more and more other defi projects emerge on other chains that are maybe faster and cheaper than ETH at the moment, but with the coming updates from Ethereum (EIP 1559 and the transition to ETH 2.0) i don't see any project coming close to ETH in the near or midterm future.
Numbers like 100k per ETH seem a little exaggerated at the moment, but who knows if crypto becomes mainstream in the financial markets then everything is possible. BTC will remain king though marke cap wise.
