It basically says that Byteball will soon follow the success of IOTA and Raiblocks. I personally think that Byteball is the best one of them, so it seems quite likely that it will happen. At least I don't see any reason why Raiblocks and IOTA should spike and Byteball should stay somewhere at the bottom when it has even more features.
the second point you are making is very valid and has been covered at length.. sadly tony disagrees with the vast majority of the community so reducing unit size is not going to happen... this is how decentralised projects operate apparently...... the problem is with even the best decentralised projects (byteball is not the best in this respect at all and maybe near the bottom of the pile) but the talent and ability to make changes is not decentralised so in theory the success of the project is still highly centralised ... I, you, and 99.99% of people on this thread have no clue how to adapt or improve the bb code so we are at the mercy of 1 person to listen to us or do the right/wrong thing.
Although to be fair iota and raiblocks devs are top tier in skill level i think tony is their equal or even better so lets hope that alone pulls bb through in the end. Right now in comparison it is by far the best deal.
