Is Trader Joe (JOE) A Hidden Gem Poised to Outperform Uniswap (UNI)?

In decentralized finance (DeFi) and trading, Uniswap has long reigned as a dominant force. However, a recent analysis by Lark Davis, a Bitcoin (BTC) investor, seems to suggest Trader Joe, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Avalanche–a highly scalable blockchain and Ethereum's competitor, could eventually emerge as a formidable competitor, even overtaking Uniswap.
