That is not true. EOS has proved to be a more beneficial than any other platform. Check how it has been going so far there had been a real development with huge list of tokens already under its wing. Dapp developers were doing great innovations in the platform. I think there is more chance of EOS to go up the ranking than ETH.
in this Chinese government issued ranking there is no chance of other coins ranking up as long as there are centralized coins they love and control.
and as for pumping prices there is no way you can compete with the billionaire pumpers behind centralized coins like ethereum for the time being until they get enough pump and dumps to kill the coin and move to another new coin.
