Don't listen to the hype merchants here.
Devs made it clear that this is a LONG TERM investment, so expect a drop of 10% to 25% after Lisk launches on exchanges and it will remain there for few months until Lisk Devs actually develop or release a useful product, other than what they cloned from Crypti Platform.
I would have to disagree with this point. LISK will utilize Javascript unlike ethereum which utilizes serpent/solidity. Javascript/(JS) is currently known by at least 1 million developers worldwide. LISK has a huge head start over Ethereum when referring to development.
Since there will be a Dapp store more and more Developers will be able make DAPPS on the LISK sidechain without much of a learning curve! Any developer that is or will attempt to develop on the Ethereum Main chain will understand how user friendly LISK is compared to Ethereum. MALREYNOLDS please feel free to interject after reading this post because I do enjoy reading your post!
All LISK needs to be a great success is for the masses to develop DAPPS! Think of it as an early Google Play store when it was still called Google Marketplace. There were barely any apps at first. Then every developer grew appreciate how much easier it was to develop an app for android vs iOS.
