yes FUD can be considered as a Discount,but you should have know what kind of FUD it is.
(vulnerabilities on their system is not a joke,and so far based on my research they claimed it,which means it's not a FUD but instead it was a fact).
lastly,NEO is a good choice too.
1.Well, I agree that this is not a normal kind of fud, but I still prefer EOS because it swings so high along with the price change of eth. For the same reason I Like ADA and IOTA.
ETH have a lot of problems on their system lately.
2.I fu*k*n disagree with this. For me ETH was by far the most comfortable, fast and reliable coin to use, apart from those crypto kitty incidences which I haven't encounter. I used BTC and LTC, I know they are Lazy. Haven't tried NEO yet, but will soon. ETH is rocking the ground, everyone else are just talking.
1.Yes indeed it's a good for trader
2.for now you can say that but for a long time ? i do not believe it.
why? because ETH nodes kept dying from time to time and it requires 1TB storage to fully synch the network.
well if you are looking for a fast and realiable coin,you should try Stellar(XLM).as far as i know it's the fastest coin
i used this many times to transfer my money out of exchange.
P.S : for Number 2,I totally forgot the link if i remember and find it later on i will post it in here.
