> Personally I believe both XRP and Solana will flip Ethereum in market cap this year

This will be a big move and interesting especially considering the fact that eth has always moved the alt market, and always been the market's instigator. I agree, the competition seems to have caught up and they've lost that "cool kid" appeal 

I think no one cares about safe anymore, people just wants functionality and smoothness and other chains seems to do it better
