💢Ethereum is at a crucial moment, you know? It is the second largest cryptocurrency and, while Bitcoin is like "digital gold", Ethereum differentiates itself because of smart contracts, which are the foundation of Web3, this decentralized internet.

​But it's not all success. From what I understand, they still have scalability issues. You know, transaction fees are high and the network gets slow when there are too many people using it, and this causes some people and developers to look for other networks, like Solana and Avalanche, which promise to be faster and cheaper.💢

​Even so, Ethereum continues to be the backbone of a lot of innovative projects in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and the metaverse. The expectation is that the Sharding upgrade will help solve these scalability problems and then the ecosystem will grow again.

​Anyway, the future of Ethereum seems to depend on how they will deal with these challenges🔥
