After that, the ICO craze was no more, and people stopped using Ethereum more thoroughly. With the rise of other smart contract platforms with better speeds and lower fees than Ethereum, most developers and businesses have shifted towards well-known competitors of ETH.

The hype is over, and people are not so excited about ETH as they used to be within its early days.
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this?
