I have tried Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Tron. Tron has the lowest fees but not a lot of interesting projects. BSC has low enough fees and it is continuing to grow and attract developers. I believe that the future will be multi-chain. If BSC continues to grow then all the best projects from ETH will port it over to BSC and operate on both chains. Their is too much money from fees that they can make and I don't think they can ignore BSC forever. There are also some good original projects on BSC, it is not just copy and paste. Pancakeswap might be a fork of Uniswap but it has added so many features that it has it's own identity that separates it from all the clones.

Binance chain made a huge profit because of those issues that you pointed out they are now the best alternatives for Ethereum but don't count out Ethereum yet, they are working on it, the developers are not sleeping on their job and they are definitely going to fix this issue, but we have to wait and bear the transactions for now but while they are working to shift to staking.
Binance Smart Chain is extremely too far from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain only useful before when the Ethereum network was clogged, and look how Binance Smart Chain now, and as we all know, Binance smart Chain is kinda pure copy-paste of Ethereum.
There are still alternatives and much better than Binance Smart Chain for me.
And we all know, Ethereum is one of the most trusted smart contracts networks that enable to work since the beginning, so I have no doubt that people are still using Ethereum despite huge transaction fees.

You talking about something that's already been fixed mate, Ethereum transaction fee is no longer a problem and August is close which we will see even better and cheaper transaction fee on Ethereum network, the headache is already over, as for the question you asked many people just prefer ETH and you and I can't change their minds

every year I hear this.
transactions will become cheaper, we will get away from this, exchanges will become faster, but so far everything is only worse.
If ever you don't believe that mate, then you are free to use another platform but you don't have the right to condemn people for continuously using Ethereum as they are preferred to use it. I mean it was their choice and you also have. Maybe you are just unhappy with the current situation, the gas fee has been resolve already but can't make it stay like this forever and maybe later it increases just like what happened to BTC.

The surge to $4,000 was particularly confusing. Seems like old technology. I'm much more excited about all the Proof of Stake coins. Why bet on a coin that has yet to make the transition when many are already there?

I don't quite know what the exact stats right now are when you compare usage of ETH vs. BSC, but they use it because there have been so many ICOs on the Ethereum platform and they hold all these tokens. It is in their best interest that Ethereum as a platform succeeds such that there tokens can also succeed. Maybe so are hardcore believers, and others might just feel stuck and see no choice other than sticking to Ethereum in order to protect their earlier investments.

What in the hell are you smoking? Imagine if the second biggest blockchain valued at over 200 billion dollars were to send updates just cause we want it faster right now, lol. You need to get back to basics and understand what is going behind these systems. Also, just cause someone managed to create a new blockchain that is a little faster does not mean it is better or that it will EVER have a good ecosystem. Cough google social network, etc. etc. Also, worry about what you need, not what others want.

I personally moving to the alternative chain like polygon or BSC when ethereum was facing a big problem with the transaction fees.
I must say that if what you were saying was true in the past but did you see the latest fees? It was decreasing a lot. There's no reason to complain about the fees as the blocksize of ethereum was limited.
The new blockchain was also learning from what problem that faced by ethereum.
All altcoins will have to get higher and higher fees as the difficulty and mining decreases this is just obvious from a economical view. BSC has nothing exciting to offer and is not better than Ethereum in any way.

My acquaintance with Ethereum began in 2017, then it was a very good technology. Probably everyone remembers, ICO, Bounty, crazy profits! I have been through this and am very grateful to ETH, but now everything is different.
It did not suddenly become a bad technology the technology is the same except it has been improved upon since your acquaintance began in 2017. The reason people still use Ethereum is because its still profitable and is still one of the better altcoins in the economy today.

While the conditions are exactly as you say, ETH has a different story and perspective for its users. ETH enthusiasts are very high, especially when the price has dropped in recent days, if I see ETH has strong fundamentals, I'm sure developers will find the best solution for its users to minimize transaction costs as you mentioned above.

And I believe ETH platform has strong fundamentals. Their developers are in continuous pursuit of improving their services.
This team is one of the visible teams in crypto community. Though there may be delays with their implementation but we can say, they are not sleeping on this project.
Unlike with other dev teams, the likelihood of abandoning the project is very low to never. This is why people are trusting this network because they are confident the team will not disappear.

I also want to see the volume for those DEXs to increase for those networks but it's highly unlikely that we're going to see it anytime soon. People would be staying to trade in centralized exchanges because they feel the safety and there were reports about DEXs that are being hacked so that makes sense for many traders to stay into centralized exchanges. And nothing can stop the popularity of Ethereum this time, it's still one of the choices of many projects with its smart contract and considerably its fee, is still low.

I also feel when we make transactions on DEX one of them was Uniswap at that time I had a token with a value of 200$ but I had to pay a fee of more than 50$ to be able to swap on the platform of course it was a very high cost while the token only existed on the platform, but now the eth fee has started low enough that it's cheaper now than it was then and maybe the best way is to switch platforms to BSC which currently provides a fairly cheap fee and the transaction speed is quite fast

ethereum gas fees are cheap and there are still many platforms that use erc20...

ethereum is still the most interesting altcoin, the emergence of bsc is only an escape when ethereum gas fees are high. I am also still very active in transacting with ethereum on uniswap.
ETH network are not that cheap compare to other network, but it left us no choice because many projects are still under ERC20 and they are still doing good despite of the fees so as long as those projects are still kicking and active, people will still use ETH.

There are some updates with ETH and the fork will happen in the coming weeks so this might address some issues hopefully, but still no assurance for this. We cannot force someone to use other network instead and forget about ETH, again there's a lot of projects under ETH that's the best reason why to stay with ETH and not all new projects are good enough even if they have a faster transactions and cheaper fees.

It is simple. Ethereum still has a lot of projects still leveraging it. Remember it originated Smart Contracts (I may be wrong about this) and thus has many use cases. Also the Decentralized Finance craze started with it, so it would take time before younger bloods like BSC, Matic, Kardiachain start to lay a glove on it

Not really cheap comparing to BSC or other alternative like Polygon (Matic) But yeah it's still good option since it's offer tons of use case and powerful smart contract, Maybe the fell will change after london fork happens on august 4. Let's see if EIP-1599 on upcoming fork will become effective or not, Cheers!

Yes, that's right, ETH market assets are now very profitable or attractive in investing, because ETH market assets are easier than other market assets, and the system of a project on ETH market assets is very easy to run.
and just hope that in the future it will not change the performance system of a project that is in the ETH market asset.

Why not continue to use ETH? I have known ETH since 2017, and then ETH was highly appreciated. A lot of people think that ETH will replace BTC. Although this did not happen, Eth has always been in 2nd place and it has attracted a lot of construction projects in the Ethểum ecosystem. Although currently, ETH is facing a few problems in terms of fees, scalability, ... but ETH 2.0 will solve them all. I think everyone is waiting for ETH 2.0

ethereum gas fees are cheap
The current gas fees as shown on etherscan for trading on "DEX" like Uniswap is around $4 - $6. You must be some rich guy to say spending that amount for fees only is cheap. It was significantly reduced but I wouldn't say it's cheap.

You can spend less than $1 transaction fee on BSC. I can call that cheap.

Don't trade ETH / ERC 20 on Dex, this is why I currently hate exchanges like uniswap, even while ETH gas fee is lower the transaction fee on DEX doesn't change much, I can send ETH to exchange with just 1$ in my coinomi wallet but on uniswap it's 6$
