I think $XAISTRAT$ is far more better and valuable than Ethereum, the simple reason is that $XAISTRAT$ is 1000 secure, cheaper, faster and have better platform to develop on, I can demonstrate to a friend by sending XAI back and forth without worrying about the fees, it would be stupid if I do that with Ether because it would ruins my wallet instantly.
