As a nontechnical follower of Ethereum it’s my opinion that in order to see growth beyond where we are at, a few things will need to happen. These cycles or seasons that everyone talks about do not drive themselves and I don’t believe will continue as they have before.

The growth of eth from from its market cap of just over 200 billion to a several trillion dollar asset won’t just happen with the current status quo and in fact growth from here will take way more investment than previous periods but on top of that will we need to begin seeing mass adoption.

1. Ethereum needs to have much easier on-ramps for non technical consumers

2. Ethereum must have regulatory clarity so people know where they stand when they own it and businesses need this to create without hassle

3. Ethereum needs to have similar products to the web2 world that drive usage and are not just circular in nature

I just don’t see how we move beyond here without this. Cycles and seasons are not causal. What drives Ethereum’s current value right now? Why is it worth over $200 billion? It isn’t just the transactions being completed over the network as of now and based on the posts and comments I see here most people have no clue. It’s okay to say “I am investing in the future potential of this network” but what is this network going to accomplish? What is the end use case for this technology? Until the layman knows that and understands that, I don’t see how we can truly see growth from where we are.

I am not posting this to argue – it’s just my perspective from the macro view. Certainly many people may know way more about this tech than would love to understand what you are seeing from the build side.
