Ethereum leads significantly in following dimensions critical for it's success:
- security: L1 state level secure (5 clients, 1M validators etc.)
- reliability / maturity: 100% uptime last 10 yrs
- resilience: governance can't be captured
- scalability: 20k tps rn (theoretically 45k+ tps possible with Lighter), MegaETH doing 100k+ tps next few weeks; 3-5 yrs 10k+ L1 tps
- Defi ecosystem: 10x lead in stablecoin TVL to next (far less) decentralized competitor
- network effects: EVM most adopted VM, developments of L2s benefit whole ecosystem etc.
- institutional adoption: L2s from Deutsche Bank, Robinhood, Sony, OpenAI, Alibaba etc. with Blackrock leading the pack
- innovation: L2s & EigenCloud enable to do all kinds of innovations
- dev mindshare: 3x to next competitor
If anyone tells you that ETH isn't cleary leading rn then those people haven't done much deep dive or have some huge bias.
And it's even worse, BTC has definitely a security issue (fees not compensating declining block subsidies), ETH researcher Justin Drake assumes a 51% attack next few years by a high profile attacker.

... We already saw first steps with Blackrocks tokenized fund, Sonys L2 Soneium or Bloombergs integration of Polymarket into it's terminal. Much more to come here.
- Blockchain tech provides resilient and scalable infrastructure for most usecases.
2/n
- In this world L2s are used intensely and provide execution for most but not all usecases. With ETH being the global single point of truth regarding blockchain contracts L1 retains always a premium due to it's accessability in black swan events & it's maturity.
