I think that half a kadot is similar to other decentralized projects, but it has its own characteristics. The fact that the project managed to break into the top 10 in such a short time says only one thing - it has been well invested. What will come of it in the end, let's see. At one time, EOS, TRON, and others were also well invested, but they did not manage to beat Ethereum.
yeah, and it is hard to expect from DOT to do the same, ETH is above all the competition for the moment, but market capitalization is providing the same information as well, although there is only few positions between ETH and DOT, ADA, there is an order of magnitude difference in market capitalization, where as ETH is around $100 billion and competition is not reaching even $10 billion
nevertheless, some competition will get their breath, and stay within top 20, which should provide sufficient gains in the future, while others will go out and probably fade-away
