Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin created a bunch of Twitter polls that shocked many cryptocurrency traders. He asked his followers to choose what would possibly be the most dominant cryptocurrency in 2035 outside of ETH. The polls ended in Cardano's favor.
Last week Thursday, Buterin asked his fans in the Twitter community a question. He wrote, "you wake up in 2035 and 80% of all transactions and savings in the world are in one currency that is not ETH. Which would you prefer it to be?"
Probably because of technical limitations, Buterin posted two polls for his followers to choose from. The first option listed "BTC, USD, SOL and ADA," while the second option listed "TRON, BNB, CNY and NEO."

Fans took their time answering the polls, and the final results for the first poll are 42 percent ADA, 38.4 percent BTC, 13.1 percent SOL and 6.5 percent USD.
The results for the second poll are 51.3 percent TRON, 22.8 percent BNB, 21.8 percent NEO and 4.1 percent CNY.
Poll for Ethereum community. You wake up in 2035, and 80% of all transactions + savings in the world are in one currency that is not ETH. Which would you prefer it to be?

Note that the number of votes is different for each poll. This means that based on the number of votes, ADA came in first (with 252,292 votes), BTC came in second (with 230,667 votes), and TRON came third (with 184,036 votes).

Sources from Bitcoin.com pointed out that Buterin's first poll contained top cryptocurrencies by market cap, excluding stable coins. On the other hand, his second poll featured the third-largest cryptocurrencies.
Since all the choices are notable and powerful cryptocurrency markets, many fans got curious about the nature of this poll. One fan asked if a "shift" is happening now on cryptocurrency markets.

Bitcoin trader Tone Vays jokingly asked if "Vitalik (is) looking for a new job."

Even Billy Markus joined in to promote the advantages of meme coins.
Definitely $doge. It makes the most sense as a real currency to be spent.

However, Buterin did not elaborate on the nature of his sudden poll. So fans are left to speculate on their own about the meaning behind it.

It is worth emphasizing that the outcome of Buterin's poll only reflects the popularity of specific cryptocurrencies among his fans. Experts argue that this poll does not reflect the actual value of the mentioned cryptocurrencies in the real world.
Regardless of the purpose of the poll, traders should be warned that ETH recently dropped its value in the market. At the time of writing, it is trading at $2,878.2 with an 8.34 percent downward growth in the last 24 hours, per CoinDesk. It is hard to determine when ETH can recover from this bearish trend.
