This is not only recent that I have heard, actually when talking about direct competitors in this market, I always see the problem of dividing into categories like BTC, ETH and the rest of altcoins.
Too much of the past just looked at the problem of some minor bugs on the ETH system that are outstanding, but even so, its power is now too great to replace. And for ADA alone, I think it's just another exaggeration to follow ADA. I think it's unnecessary to compare it with other platforms, if it does well, it will have its own positions better in this market.
