Why hasn't anyone mentioned the elephant in the room? Ethereum's scaling problem. With all of the Dapps running on Eth were gonna have huge issues when transactions begin to be delayed. How will the gambling sites work that require high speed transactions? Eth needs to go DPOS to resolve this but they never will. Simple POS with 15tps just doesn't cut it these days.
Exactly why there is hype around EOS & current graphene DPOS based chains. Everyone here just regurgitates information without performing any due diligence.
At the same time, ETH passing BTC in price will bring increased attention to other chains which is good for the whole industry. Let it rise, stall the network like btc, and another will take its place.
