I hope someone can share their opinion about
Ok, before I go on to share my opinion on this , I wish to point out that I am not a Financial advisor. Do your research before following my view.
In cryptocurrency these days , investors considers whether a coin has " USE CASES". This is what makes a coin profitable.
Ethereum to me is better than Bitcoin because it has many use cases. One can buy 0.1 bitcoin and will keep it in his wallet waiting for a rise in price of bitcoin to make profit, there is no way the bitcoin can be out to use except staking which doesn't give much return and is normally for long term , but with ethereum, one can use it to provide liquidity , engage in yield Farming , etc. This use case of ethereum helps holders to earn passive income on their ethereum.
Fortunately , ethereum transaction fee has reduced to quite a small amount over the past one month.
New projects are coming to ethereum network which will make it more profitable. The new digital currency , Non fungible token is compatible with ethereum network .
It is a matter of time before we see Ethereum surpassing bitcoin in terms of " Market capitalization " because if the use cases and this will affect ethereum price positively.
