Lark Davis Anticipates Ethereum 2.0 Roll Out To Solve Issues with Transaction Fees
A popular crypto influencer, Lark Davis, has also joined those who are clamoring for the final launch of Ethereum 2.0 amidst the daily increase in gas fees and exits of users to alternative decentralized platforms such as Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
Lark Davis said this in a video shared with his teeming subscribers on the popular video-sharing platform, YouTube. According to the trader, he’s bullish on Ethereum (ETH) but the transaction fees have become insane and dissuading.
He thereby called on the Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, to make Ethereum 2.0 a reality as soon as possible.
Lack Davis noted:
“You do have to keep it real right now. The fees for Ethereum are crazy, crazy high which obviously doesn’t matter for the big money guys who are gobbling up Ethereum and waiting for it to go up to five digits. They’re looking at the investment thesis here.
But we’re now at the point where ETH 1.0 – oh we need ETH 2.0 so soon, come on Vitalik Buterin, get it going, man – ETH 1.0, most regular users are priced out of using the majority of applications on Ethereum.
