One of those who hold the latter opinion, University of Canberra lecturer John Hawkins, stated:

“In addition to replacing private CBDC cryptocurrencies and the general collapse of the speculative bubble, I think that Bitcoin will lose to Ethereum, which has stronger use cases, especially if the network moves to proof-of-stake and become more environmentally friendly.

Half of the experts believe that eventually bitcoin will be displaced from the position of the most popular cryptocurrency by a more advanced blockchain. 38% are sure that digital gold will stay on the throne.

“Ethereum could outperform BTC in terms of market cap. Solana becomes the main hub for on-chain derivatives. Bitcoin is not a technology-enhancing blockchain at all. It’s just a cryptocurrency if you look at it,” Tykhe Block Ventures co-founder Ganesh Kompella said.

The assets mentioned by the expert made up the top three most profitable coins in 2022, according to the group’s expectations.
