In a recent AMA, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson questioned whether Ethereum can survive in the next 10 to 15 years. He pointed out issues such as an unreasonable economic model, design flaws in the consensus mechanism, and excessive reliance on Layer 2 solutions. He even referred to L2 as a "parasitic" solution and compared Ethereum's future to the once-glorious but ultimately declining MySpace and BlackBerry phones.
So, is Hoskinson's viewpoint valid? From certain angles, his criticisms are not unfounded. Ethereum is currently facing high gas fees, congestion issues, and the fragmentation of the L2 ecosystem, which indeed poses a challenge to its long-term sustainability.
However, it cannot be ignored that Ethereum remains a core force of innovation. It has completed its transition from PoW to PoS, continuously pushing EIP upgrades, and L2 technologies like Arbitrum and Optimism are gradually alleviating the load on the main chain. More importantly, Ethereum has the largest and most active developer community globally, along with the richest ecosystems in DeFi, NFTs, and more, which are difficult for other chains to compete with.
In the long run, I still see potential in Ethereum, but I will not overlook rapidly growing public chains like Solana and BNB Chain. Perhaps a multi-chain existence is the future of the crypto world.
What do you think? Do you acknowledge Hoskinson's warning, or do you believe Ethereum can continue to lead the trend?
