ETH isn’t getting avoided by the masses at all, it’s just getting avoided by the small fries like us that couldn’t bear the massive gas fee required for ETH because it’s quite literally being flooded with all the NFT arts activities.
you see these NFT activities are always spending such tremendous amount of money for just the gas fee alone that it literally triggers the massive dramatic increases of gas fee in the platform.
the moment ETH is getting avoided by the masses is the moment its high gas fee mess getting solved in by itself so this statement in regard of ETH avoidance by the masses is more or less wrong.
With this, I'm able to express my feelings.
The ethereum gas fees is crazy for small traders like us but it is not a concern for whale, that's why the big project still chooses ETH as the starting place to develop. In return for expensive gas fees, ETH is safer than the rest of the networks which is what projects care about.
There have been many other networks created to replace ethereum but most of them cannot beat ETH. Enough to show the importance of ETH in the market.
Even as you said, many other networks tried to replace Ethereum but none of them worked, it needs a special study as to why Ethereum is so strong until now
