Cryptocurrency is slowly but surely becoming more commonly used and accepted, and Ethereum is a perfect example of this. As one of the most popular cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin, Ethereum's blockchain technology and its digital currency are popularly used for transactions in a virtual and decentralized environment. To stay as a frontrunner, Ethereum needs to make continual improvements in order to make transactions faster, cheaper and more efficient, and Foobar's suggestion of a block size increase and transaction parallelization is an important one going forward.

As outlined, the Shapella upgrade and the new transaction type proposed in EIP-4844 are working towards scaling Ethereum and making more efficient the already popular platform. While updates like these are necessary, investors are still worried by the rise in gas fees over the past weeks. With the current market cap of over $221 billion, and the 24-hour trading volume reaching over $8.5 billion, Ethereum shows no sign of slowing down despite any fees it may encounter.

In the end, Ethereum's continued success lies in the improvements it makes in the upcoming year. With upgrades like the Shapella upgrade and the new EIP-4844 transaction type, as well as suggestions from crypto influencers like Foobar, Ethereum is striving to stay ahead of the competition. In spite of the ever increasing gas fees, Ethereum's trading prices remain stable and its investors remain confident that the blockchain will continue its positive trajectory.
