The advantage is all the features listed on byteball.org and being a DAG it has no architectural limit on scaling, only implementation and hardware is limiting.

It's wrong. As all distributed systems DAG is limited by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem.

quote from the source:

CAP is frequently misunderstood as if one had to choose to abandon one of the three guarantees at all times. In fact, the choice is really between consistency and availability for when a partition happens only; at all other times, no trade-off has to be made.
