Right now, price of ETH is low, is there again rise in the ETH ? I can see eth going above bitcoin because of combination between drop in the price of bitcoin and increase in the price of eth.
Yes, Ethereum is really the next generation of technology. Bitcoin is no longer developing and he is very poor. Ethereum is the second generation. This platform already has smart contracts, the ability to issue tokens. Now the third generation of blockchains is actively developing.
In edition to all the coins that attempt to make improvements upon existing systems, coins that have securing mechanisms outside use of the blockchain. Byteball, Lisk and Hcash (yet to be launched) are examples. These I feel are the third generation coins.
The only problem is that the technology is moving too rapidly and the pace of public and business adoption moves too quickly.
Bitcoin, the mother of all coins, took 9 years to get where it is today. I think Ethereum's great. I was around before it launched and I remember it taking so damn long after the investment period ended that I ridiculed people who bought in.
But we all know it turned out to be pretty cool, except for a few mistakes here and there. There are college classes on how to use Ethereum. There's a huge financial ecosystem that rides on its success. I doubt many other crypto projects will be able to say that, at least not for some time.
