The success of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/ethereum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ethereum<\/a> network is dependent on real-world usage and rising activity on its platforms, so it is an area of focus in the cryptocurrency space.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Real-World Usage Is The Key<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ryan Berckmans, an investor in Ethereum, thinks that the key to a $20,000 ETH price is practical use. He says that the high fees, while normally a disadvantage, are actually an indicator of faith in the altcoin. If users are paying more, it is because they trust in the value of the network.<\/p>\n<p>Berckmans makes the comparison with Bitcoin, which continues to hold value despite 99% of its usage being centralized. He reiterates that Ethereum needs to pay attention to developing its real-world growth if it is to replicate this success.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">For ETH, real world growth is the answer.<\/p>\n<p>How do we get ETH to $20k?<\/p>\n<p>Fee value accrual obviously isn\u2019t necessary to drive the required public confidence for a high token price, otherwise BTC would be worthless because 99.999% of BTC activity is centralized and doesn\u2019t accrue\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ryan Berckmans (@ryanberckmans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ryanberckmans\/status\/1906076146779009429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Importance Of High Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Restoring high total fees is critical for Ethereum\u2019s price increase. Berckmans argues that even if a hypothetical scenario sees $1 trillion in stablecoins on Ethereum\u2019s Layer 1, it wouldn\u2019t be enough without high fees to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>He suggests that the <a href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ethereum network<\/a> must prioritize robust growth to ensure that investor confidence is restored. Without this growth, reaching the ambitious target of $20,000 seems unlikely.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/ECh3OCI8\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"883\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>ETH is currently trading at $1,787.

This expansion is vital for sustainable growth. Ethereum must increase the distribution of its Layer 1 assets to Layer 2s while also diversifying the solutions available on Layer 2. This kind of scaling is essential to accommodate growing network activity and user demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_721123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-721123\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/a_e4518f.png?resize=576%2C307\" alt width=\"576\" height=\"307\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-721123\">Ryan Berckman\u2019s analysis on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ryanberckmans\/status\/1906076146779009429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1906076146779009429%7Ctwgr%5E72b2e5b2d928f15622ccc10b0bcd68fc9e2cc98d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tronweekly.com%2Fethereum-price-prediction-growth-push-to-20k%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">X.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Focusing On Utility-Driven Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As Ethereum celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its mainnet, Berckmans insists that the network has come a long way but still has much further to go.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum is the most capitalized blockchain by application but will need to scale dramatically to maintain its position. By prioritizing the development of a culture centered around real-world uses and economic development, the crypto asset can build a bridge to its price target.<\/p>\n<p>The Ethereum network is at a crossroads. The altcoin needs to maximize real-world usage and have growth at the top of its agenda. In doing so, it may well hit that much-sought $20,000 target in the future \u2014 at least according to Berckmans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"author-box\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Christian Encila\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Jet-Bitcoinist-Profile.jpg?resize=200%2C200\"  height=\"80\" width=\"80\">\t\t<\/p>\n<div id=\"5e13e4dcb9399df395170f89abc1a11c38653085\">\n<p>They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that&#8217;s not just a metaphor, it&#8217;s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Christian&#8217;s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).<\/p>\n<p>Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling &#8211; right up his alley!<\/p>\n<p>So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he&#8217;s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). <\/p>\n<p>Think Christian&#8217;s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he&#8217;s not at his computer, you&#8217;ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of chill, Christian&#8217;s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day &#8211; and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors &#8211; and bosses &#8211; he deeply respects.<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> The information found on NewsBTC is for educational purposes<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonly.
