Was wondering the possibilities of switching to a more secure chain such as UBQ? Why I mention this is because of the various issues ETH runs into often because they're so focused on the next thing instead of making sure their current thing is even secure enough to function unharmed while UBQ is the opposite
The reason is popularity.
It would be better to use Bitcoin as number 1 coin, but we need smart conracts.
And people will not go to the unknown network.
UBQ provides smart contracts and most people can't even use ETH's network right now due to the congestion and there's another possible hardfork coming up to reverse the parity exploit.
Also most people don't even care what the network is, that's not a factor. Functionality is their concern
You do have a point, but I don't necessarily think it's all true.
Functionality matters, that is very true. But popularity is equally, if not more important.
I, for one, have never heard of UBQ and it might be a better network than ETH. But I know and have used ETH, it's widely available and a lot of ICOs have been run successfully on ETH. That makes me trust the network a lot.. maybe even before a network that technically is better.
It's like with Bitcoin. There are lots of coins way more effective as a payment vehicle than Bitcoin. Still, it's massive popularity wins over the crowd.
