=== '''''Risks''''' === * '''Volatility''': The value of ETH can experience rapid and substantial fluctuations as shown in the previous section, leading to potential losses for investors and users. * '''Regulatory''': ETH subject to regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions. Changes in government regulations or policies can impact the adoption, usage, and value of Ethereum<ref>https://www.axios.com/2022/07/27/regulatory-risk-ethereum-security-model-proof-of-stake-sec</ref>. * '''Collapsing of Bitcoin''': Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency, valued highly for its position in the market, but it lacks versatility beyond its use as a digital currency. The potential for a collapse of Bitcoin is a real concern, and such an event could have a significant impact on all other cryptocurrencies, including ETH. A similar situation occurred in 2018 when the market experienced a downturn. To conclude, there is no denying the rise in Ethereum competitors, but Ethereum still dominates as the leading smart contract platform. ETH killers may have faster transaction speeds and lower fees, but each has unique strengths and weaknesses. Also, as Ethereum moves forward with its post-Merge upgrades, it might erase some of its competitors' value propositions.While Ethereum may lose market share as more competitors enter the market, it still has a significant lead in the smart contract space. Plus, thanks to the growth in layer-2 scaling solutions, it's becoming easier for users to interact with Ethereum without paying exorbitant fees.
