I don't get the hype around Raiblocks, doesn't Steem have just as fast blockchain transactions? And Larimer the developer of Steem is working on EOS which will even be faster. My money is on EOS
Nope, Steem slower behind, in terms of transaction speed: Steem < Ripple < RaiBlocks
But the hype about RaiBlocks is its -unlimited- scalability: the number of transaction per second that it can handle it not even know yet, it is at least more than 7k:

i would be rather that ethereum replace bitcoin but not raiblocks or bitcoin cash
because ethereum have the more users base and the development is also good .
If BTC should be replaced, it has to be by a coin that fix its issues. Ethereum has as many scaling issues as BTC currently.
