Well, alternative platforms with their pace of development to the ether as before the moon
But the eth has three serious problems:
- Network, the ability of transactions. What kind of shit can easily hammer the whole network
-
Unlimited emission of tokens. Yes, goodbye miners, hello to POS- Regulating all that ico-shit, that collects funds in the etn and then drops it to the market, dropping the rate.
Yes, yes, have you ever thought what happens to the millions of Dolar at the ETH, which collected scum projects?
Are you sure about the unlimited emission of tokens with PoS? Asking because I believe exactly the opposite. From what I know, with the implementation of Casper the issuance rate will not increase but may decrease even, to something much less than 3 ETH per 15 seconds. Also the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) #1011 suggests combining PoW with PoS consensus, with reducing the block reward for miners from 3 ETH to 0.6 ETH. The EIP#1011 was introduced in April 2018 when Buterin also stated that the new model would allow the developers to launch Casper without disturbing the Ethereum network, claiming that Casper is “more separate from the main chain.” I think it's a smart move because if something goes wrong with PoS they can easily switch back to PoW alone.
In short, I think that the developers are able to deal with the problems you've mentioned and that ETH will remain the best crypto next to Bitcoin in the foreseeable future.
