This is correct.  Quite simply: the Core team are a bunch of disorganized assholes going nowhere and the Ethereum team are highly intelligent and well organized and they are busy everyday building a remarkable network.  Lightning is a total royal pig fuck that was broken from the beginning. 

Ethereum has awesome smart contract capacity, very well thought out scaling solution, mining solution and many other solutions for the complextities of the future. 

Conversely, Bitcoin Segwit has amazing insider fighting, fractured team, takeover attempt by Blockstream, pathetic smart contracts, among a whole world of other problems.  Only thing going for Bitcoin is momentum.  Just remember, for even things with lots of momentum the friction must be overcome.  Bitcoin's momentum is clearly slowing and its future looks grim at best.  I put is all down to those assholes Greg Maxwell and Adam Back.  Fucking arrogance is a killer.
