Russian-Canadian programmer Vitalik Buterin took to Twitter to determine which cryptocurrency the Ethereum community considers the most viable alternative.
He asked his 3.1 million followers which currency – other than ETH – would most likely become the leading means of payment and store of value 13 years from now.
Poll for the Ethereum community. You wake up in 2035 and 80% of all transactions + savings in the world are in a currency other than ETH. What do you want it to be?

If not us, then who?
With over 401,000 votes, Bitcoin leads in the first Buterin poll. After briefly appearing at the top of the table, Cardano came in second with 29.4% of the votes. Solana, which has recently emerged as a top “Ethereum killer,” is in third place (14%). Only 7% of respondents are reasonable enough to predict that the US dollar will remain the top currency in the world in 2035.
A separate poll, drew more than 147,000 votes, with Binance Coin leading with 39% of the voting shares. Tron comes in second, followed by Neo.
Many communities started backing their own projects in response to Buterin. The Dogecoin co-founder also put out his meme coin in the comments. As reported by U.Today, Tesla officially started accepting DOGE for some products earlier today, resulting in a 17% price increase.
While Ethereum generated strong profits last year, some analysts, including JPMorgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, think the meme could continue to lose market share this year due to scaling issues.
Buterin is clearly in a low mood based on his Twitter activity. The Ethereum co-founder recently asked Twitter users to send him the best examples of criticisms against him. The billionaire recalled how he was once called an “alien”.
