I am big fan of Ethereum but at the same time can't deny reality what exists on grounds. Other projects have done lot of work during all the year long. Some of them even have solved scaling issue successfully. Ethereum had many projects and none of them has shown significant progress to compete with them. We are moving to a future where efficiencies and capabilities will be criteria.
ethereum has many things in roadmap we simply cannot deny the fact tron , cardano , neo are only copy version of ethereum .. the real token that brought contract to the world was ethereum and rest only copy pasted it.. Eth has hard fork in jan . but its your money where you wanna invest in.. but i would suggest the top 3 coins will only succeed.
