Obviously not. A single contract call on Ethereum may cost you up to $120.

Ethereum is no longer practical.

Even so there are better smart contract languages like Vyper[0] & Scilla[1].

Oh please, L2 solutions already exist, EIP-1559 in the upcoming months, and Proof of Stake is 1-2 years out.

Its just one elon musk tweet away for its price to go big bang.

Unfortunately, this is far too accurate.
Your talking about promises not "solutions" that can be used today.

Proof of stake has been coming in 1 year for 4 years now.

L2 Solutions simply don't work.

Exchanges, that would benefit alot from L2 solutions have not implemented any because they know they suck from a security standpoint & other tradeoffs
