Ethereum is facing a lot of competition from platforms like EOS, NEM, NXT, Lisk, Waves, NEO, Stratis, Chainlink, DragonChain and others. The playing field is very competitive, but Ethereum has a clear advantage in usage and community. Do you think these other projects stand a chance? If so, which ones?
I don't know. That is a very tricky question, and it's impossible to answer. It's the same thing with bitcoin and other "currency" coins, like dash, litecoin, monero, zcash, etc. There is a "king" for the payment method goal, that is bitcoin, and there is a "king" for the platform for crypto startups that is ethereum. Both of them have the advantage of being the first, and now have the largest community around them (investors, supports, developers, miners, etc). So one of these "new" coins would have to be truly amazing to take their place. There is to much at risk right now, so unless something truly advanced shows up, or these two will always stay ahead.
That's deeply convincing and good way to state the purpose in first place. The main purpose is what defines about the coin and there is no need to place any of them in the first place or to state that this coin would be Ethereum or that would be next Bitcoin because that doesn't make any sense if we think about the prupsoe for which each coin has been formed. I mean obviously they are always king in the field or sector for which they were made! They are unique in their own ways and I believe they should be seen like that only.
It doesn't matter what prices they carry, what they have is what interests people more.
