Eth definitely has fierce competition from Binance chain. What is the strategy on this?

It seems that Ethereum is just trying to get along with CZ and Binance. But the conflict of interests is there and the market cap that BNB is enjoying right now is all on Ethereum's expense.
From what I'm observing from Ethereum, there is actually no worries on this fact, meanwhile almost every ERC20 token is trying to figure a way to move into Binance chain.

Seriously I don't know if they care at all anymore. What are Vitalik's plans on this? Waiting for 10$ ETH for a response?

This is just advertising trick when some projects are moving to this blockchain actually Ethereum has something great and it is pioneer who opened the door of opportunities for the whole world and made this possible to dive into this space. Ethereum is still 2nd largest crytocurrency and it will remain there as they dev very big team.

That's right, we can't underestimate the power of ethereum, because there are many great people inside and outside them. Ethereum will always be the first choice when other cryptocurrency is sluggish or weakened.

IMO those of you that are propping up Eth have lost your mind. Your wealth will be next...Soon...

Care to explain your reasoning?
I don't like Ethereum either, but there isn't anything that does the same things in a better way yet, so even if I don't like it I have to use it and buy it.
This alone however isn't enough to create value though, just because I buy some ETH from an exchange it doesn't mean the company I send my ETH to buy services/game assets won't sell their ETH.

Since there's no real competition though, the price should stay stable. Moonboys are going to get disapointed (those few who might still be around, that is) when the price don't go high, but no one is going to lose money... at least yet.

What does the project really need now so that it rises from hibernation and enters the phase of active growth?

Quote
The funds will go to nine companies and researchers. Many companies received funding for client development, such as Harmony which has been awarded $189,000 for the Prysm client Sigma Prime; $485,000 for Lighthouse; Consensys co-founded startup Sigma Prime obtained $485,000 for its Lighthouse client, while Status received $500,000 for the Nimbus client. Status has also received $150,000 for networking protocol development, while Whiteblock received $184,000 for network testing and testnet/interoperability support.

If I have to switch from Ethereum to anything else, I will switch to Bitcoin, not Ethereum Classic.

Ain't those two totally different things? You hold bitcoin as you'd hold gold, as a store of value for the future, but you buy Ethereum to use it in DAPPs.

That's the problem! If you buy ethereum you should use it and not hold it as store of value because there is better store of value. Ethereum and every other altcoin with specialized functions has future only as a bitcoin sidechain. Ethereum as a standalone blockchain is dead.


Which new blockchains do you think will replace Ethereum and become a leader? As I see almost all of new projects are the copies of Ethereum (may be except DAG based projects)

If we leave speculation outside, Ethereum is probably the most useful blockchain at the moment with Bitcoin being close second... Not many stores accept BTC so it's not as much useful as Ethereum with its many games.
It's just that with the more apps being developed, the slower and more expensive it gets.
Like people from ARK put it, "it's like putting more and more cars on a single road with a limited amount of lines"!

Ethereum Classic was a decent effort, but people should accept it when a project fails and let it die.

Ethereum Classic looks more likely as projects on abandoned roads. Sometimes, that project suddenly bumped along the road with sudden news on their partnership, developments, upgrades, but I don't think Ethereum Classic is more actively developed than Ethereum. In addition, future growth is more promising with Ethereum, rather than Ethereum Classic. I don't say it simply based on prices of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, but also by looking deeper at their ecosytems. It is surely that Ethereum has bigger ecosystem, than Ethereum Classic.
If I have to switch from Ethereum to anything else, I will switch to Bitcoin, not Ethereum Classic.

xUSD - The PRIVATE stable coin - Haven Protocol
Oh my lovely broken Ethereum... 24 hours waiting for a smart contract interaction to go through!
In order to play a game in Ethereum I have to choose between paying big for every little action or wait a few hours, up to days!

I think I'm going to stop supporting developers who build on Ethereum... maybe if Ethereum ever proceeds with updating their blockchain I'll become a fan again, but right now I'm looking forward to games built on ARK and LOOM.

Maybe there you will find more up-to-date developers

*Brute force will solve any Bitcoin problem*

Keyword there is 'private'. It's not on the Ethereum blockchain, rather 'based on'. It does nothing for Eth or the Ethereum network.

Correct. It seems like it's not based on the main Ethereum chain.
