Looking into Ethereum\u2019s <strong>limitations<\/strong> and <strong>disadvantages<\/strong> reveals that there are a few main concerns:<\/p><p><strong>Scalability<\/strong> \u2013 the no. 1 criticism of Ethereum. Ethereum has so many things going on that it has consistently struggled with network congestion in the past, given the sheer number of people using it. This has led to <strong>slow transaction times<\/strong> and ridiculously <strong>high gas\/transaction fees<\/strong> for those using Ethereum\u2019s network\/those wanting to buy Ethereum (and other ERC-20 tokens). This is a major problem if this cryptocurrency is going to keep growing and serving a large number of people.<\/p><p><strong>Resource intensive \u2013 <\/strong>Currently, Ethereum is still a <strong>Proof of Work<\/strong> crypto, meaning you can \u2018mine\u2019 Ethereum. This means a lot of energy goes into the creation of new coins, which is not ideal for a rapidly growing project that cares about its environmental impact. However, Ethereum is also <strong>transitioning<\/strong> (slowly) to the far more sustainable <strong>Proof of Stake<\/strong> model, which is a good sign (though it may take some time for this process to occur).<\/p><p><strong>Complicated programming language<\/strong> \u2013 Another potential limitation is that Ethereum\u2019s Blockchain has a pretty complex programming language, which may make it hard for beginners to the space to get involved.<\/p><p>Given these concerns, there are undoubtedly going to be other cryptocurrencies in the space who are trying to steal Ethereum\u2019s throne. Some of the most notable competitors are <strong>Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot, Cardano, Terra, <\/strong>and<strong> Solana.<\/strong><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8838 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/digitalsurge.com.au\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Picture6-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"http:\/\/3.26.50.104\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Picture6-1.png 596w, http:\/\/3.26.50.104\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Picture6-1-300x101.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/p><p>A quick look into any of these projects shows that they are as legit as they come. Many of them have been <strong>specifically designed<\/strong> to address Ethereum\u2019s concerns (like Solana, whose transaction speeds are on another level entirely), and they have all achieved very impressive market caps, indicating that Ethereum has some <strong>real competition<\/strong>.<\/p><p>However, while it may be a deterrent that other, more technologically advanced cryptocurrencies similar to Ethereum are on the way, <strong>first-mover advantage<\/strong> is huge in crypto (take Bitcoin, for example) and Ethereum is so embedded into the architecture of crypto that it still probably isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p><p>Despite its high gas fees, countless people still use Ethereum because of the trust and functionality it provides.

Ethereum is undoubtedly a promising coin and a great way to get exposure to crypto without the risk of lower-cap coins. Its utility is second to none and it has proven to be highly valuable in both the crypto world and the mainstream. <br \/><br \/>However, it does have its challenges and there is no shortage of fierce competition. It\u2019s also going through a bit of a slump right now (along with the rest of the market), so it may be worth waiting to see what happens, or dollar-cost-averaging in to mitigate your risk while picking up some of this promising asset while its down. \u00a0<br \/><br \/>Finally, we\u2019d just like to say that there is no <strong>one<\/strong> <strong>way<\/strong> to perform a fundamental analysis in crypto. There are dozens of variables which can help you determine the profitability of an investment and every person\u2019s analysis will look different. FA is not an exact science, and the order in which you evaluate key fundamentals will vary from coin to coin. This is just one example of how to perform a fundamental analysis in crypto. We hope it\u2019s been helpful. <br \/><br \/>Good luck!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33

Here we\u2019re going to breakdown how to perform a simple but comprehensive fundamental analysis of a large-cap crypto (Ethereum), so you can get an idea of how FA works across different assets.
