I don't know why people think speed is the only thing when it comes to launching a new platform, we have seen recently that speed do matter but not the main thing, the compromise of security of the platform for speed in this space is alarming, as we have seen with Ethereum and even EOS.

Well, the speed is the most important factor because the cryptocurrency must be a tool for payments. and for it to be so and effective, it is necessary that the blockchain can process a large number of transactions in a small amount of time

Seems on point. Security is critical and decentralization is a necessity. The challenge lays in creating a platform with high throughput while assuming adversarial behavior and decentralization.

After we have speed for payment transactions, we will have that also for smart contracts.

Hopefully being able to implement some privacy features subsequently.
