With the Bitcoin price still on the low and with so many speculations going on leaving everyone in doubt if it can make it to it's previous all time high anytime soon.

The truth is that, this time around technical analysis and financial analysis failed us rather the market is being controlled by institutions as speculated.

Alt coins on the other hand are struggling to survive as we are not looking at them getting to their previous all time high soon enough, if you ask me I would say the charts cannot tell us that this time around.

People will doubt if this is the best year for a project to be launched. Well, the Evmos team found this to be a great time to launch and what next after that. You may ask if there is any potentials for this project to grow and fully make it through the year.

Will Evmos lead to the end of Ethereum and Cosmos?

It is so unlikely to happen. Evmos only made things easier for users and most especially for developers looking to build using the EVM.
