Knocking the competition.
Probably right, he has also been writing about how The DAO is 'dead on arrival' recently, so he seems to be on a binge of knocking more successful projects.
Even if he's not writing that to knock the competition, he's best known for dismally failing to make good ideas successful. He's a genius programmer and visionary who is absolutely not cut out for management / leading a project, unfortunately, and has no ability to judge the market, so I wouldn't trust his opinion on what is or is not going to be successful.
Some answers in a conversation about the article:
Good analysis. The main problem is that LISK is fundamentally flawed. It cannot be taken seriously or used for serious application. Perhaps this is by design? It would require a complete re-coding by experts to make it sound enough to be beneficial to big business. Otherwise it can remain what it is, a fun small time application for the masses without serious consequences should it break. Call it a 2016 DODGE coin now with fun applications for the masses. As such it is at best a USD0.50 coin tops. Nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with catering to the masses in a light weight fun way which is what LISK does and will do. As detailed below to re-write of the code for serious applications seems too daunting at this late stage. Comparison to Ethereum has always been ludicrous. There is a reason the language was invented in their case to operate on the blockchain. LISK is its own thing and has its followers and community just like DODGE, it will come out with fun apps for them, games and other neato javascript things, just how javascript in the early days did the same on the web. It won't and cannot do something like this for sure:
http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-identity-platform-multiple-blockchains/We are talking serious matters like banking, identity, country voting etc. LISK has its place in this new era and can do well in it with what it is and what it does.
reference point to inherent flaw in LISK:
https://steemit.com/lisk/@dan/why-lisk-is-inferior-to-ethereum You are completely wrong. Your comment is fundamentally flawed. You don't seem to understand anything about scalability.For App developpers of all sizes and shapes, Lisk presents several advantages... I'll just name a few quickly:
1. LISK side chains design is specifically more scalable for for serious applications, than Etheruem's design of forcing all applications on one bloated mainchain.
2. Cost per App usage is defined by App developpers in Lisk, while it is defined by miners in Ethereum
3. Apps can be easily deployed via Lisk SDK, while developpers have to connect to multiple smart contracts to build a Dapp for Ethereum
4. JavaScript is certainly easier & far more commonly used than Ethereum's Solidity Language
Also... comparing Lisk to Dogecoin is like comparing a V12 car to a barbie toy car.

https://steemit.com/lisk/@dan/why-lisk-is-inferior-to-ethereum1. The points which are made in the blog-post (which I already know) are most likely true but it doesn't describe fundamentally flaws. And to speak about a "late stage" is kind of hilarious.
2. While the blog-post mentions some points that really need to be addressed, it's also obvious that it comes from a competitor and is in fact PR for Steem while using Lisks spotlight.
3. It's kind of revealing to use a brand-new account with a 14-post-history of bashing Lisk. ;-)

https://steemit.com/lisk/@dan/why-lisk-is-inferior-to-ethereumReverse FUD or what? The guy who wrote the article should know that Lisk is for Blockchain Apps and Scalability. If you try to make an app on the Eth platform you will need to compile a lot of contracts, and even for smart contracts Eth is a problem:
