I early invested in Ark but I had some doubt and sold most of my tokens. I am considering to buy a bigger stake again. I have not figured out yet why Ark has increased that much since the last two weeks. Was there a big event or was there reached a big milestone?
I would also like to know what makes Ark superior over Lisk (its successor or parent acutally, if I understood it correctly). What is better in Ark compared to Lisk which is three times higher in value than Ark?
Can someone explain me the differences between Ark and Lisk or point me to a comparison somewhere? I mean what is better on Ark than it is on Lisk?
The price difference between both projects is very high at the moment.
I can see that this been plaguing your mind for a long time now. (But apparently not enough that you actually do the research.)
So, I'm gonna keep it simple:
Nobody says Ark is better than Lisk. While they started from the same code base, they have completely different goals. Lisk is trying to build a platform to run (D)Apps on, while these parts were one of the first removed from the ARK code after the fork. ARK is more focused on bridging together blockchains, fast payment system, a more balanced voting system, and many more. You'll just have to read the whitepaper, the roadmap, and other sources of information (I recomment the blog and the Slack channel) if you want to know more.
The price increased (or decreases) because this is crypto, such things happen. It's the same anwser for why Lisk's market cap it tree times of ARKs right now. (It was close to the same two weeks ago.)
