ETH is the best. Some others claim to offer better tech, but whether they do or not is not proven yet. None of these competitors have been tested in the real world as much as ETH has, so ETH remains the standard bearer for smart contract coins.
The market has recovered somewhat since this post, and ETH is back over $150... and looking quite strong again even in a weakened market.
ethereum is still moving quite slowly, not much can be done but waiting for ethereum to rise. the market has also increased several times, but ethereum has not shown an increase. but most people will also survive and positively assess the movement of ethereum assets.
