When you compare SUB to SHIFT, which of them is better would you say and why? I see everyone hyping about SUB while SHIFT is under the radar waiting to explode. They'll release Phantom before 2018.

Hey, thanks for your answer. I will try my best to answer it as best as possible. I think there are several reasons why SUB is now hyped.

1. Substratum is very active on social media. They also had a lot of amazing news (alpha testing, burning of tokens that had no allocation).
2. Substratum will be used for everything on the Substratum network and will function as a conversion currency. This is really really important.
For example, you want to buy something in a store and they only accept litecoin, ethereum and bitcoin -> Substratum will be the conversion currency. You pay with a currency, which in turn gets converted to Substratum which then is converted to the currency (litecoin, eth, btc) used to buy your products in the store. Substratum will have a use and be in circulation and that's a great indicator that it could rise in value.

But, I can not say which one is best as of right now. All the solutions for a decentralized web are in full development fase. The value (as with many crypto's) is now based on speculation, news, social media and the power of the people.
I am not able to foresee in the future but who knows SHIFT might be the better blockchain or have the better developers, I guess we have to wait and see.

Have a nice day!
