Background: I was extremely surprised by this topic, at the current time, but only then I saw the publication date.
To be honest, a lot has changed since 2018, before Ethereum was incomparable, it was an absolute monopoly in the world of alternative coins. But 2020-2021 came and everything changed drastically. Now Binance is pulling the blanket over itself, they are absorbing the world of cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, Ethereum is no longer a competitor to them, at least a couple of years ago this could not have been discussed. Binance has built a huge empire.
Offtop: they have grown so much that little by little it becomes scary, if suddenly something goes wrong with him, the market will cry.
Speaking of Binance, today it is more than just an exchange. This is a blockchain network is probably not the weakest one. And this, in turn, adds security and resistance to it from various attacks.
As for Ethereum, the team showed that work on the protocol is going on, and there are results. I am sure that with subsequent updates, Ethereum will bring new standards and ideas to the world of cryptocurrency. So there is an interesting time ahead!
