I often hear people comparing their alt bags to the next eth, or this reminds me of antshares back in the day type of comments. It is usually someone trying to convince you to buy their bags. ETH, Monero ect were kind of unicorns in the way they blew up and went on insane runs in value. I am not so convinced the alts today are going to become the next ETH as people say. The alts I hear constantly are the next ETH are LINK,TEZOS ect but I dont see it. ETH has the adoption you can build ERC20 coins on it, and it is widely used, but what am I going to do with my Link token?? stake it? If tezos can get the adoption then that would make more sense to me. My main point here is don't fall for the my alt coin is the next ETH! Sure there will be others that will be unicorns and you may get lucky, but out of the thousands of alts out there your likely going to be holding the next coin that goes to zero instead of the next ETH. Give me ONE coin that you believe could be the next unicorn. Keep in mind that most alts are just copies of BTC,ETH,MONERO!!! Maybe we can find a real unicorn here?? If you are going to schill me your alt coin please limit it to ONE alt only!!! If this comes off as negative that's not my intention I'm just tired of hearing the term the next ETH I would love to invest in the next unicorn but I just don't see anything out there comparable right now.
As far as I can understand, there is nothing like the next ETH neither will there be any altcoin that will likely take the position of ETH. ETH is unique in its own way and some of the features which are seen in many blockchain platforms today are copied from ETH and also some of the features being used today first started on ETH blockchain others either copy or add a little to improve as seen in smart contracts etc. So it can be seen that, for a project with such potentials it will keep going higher as the team will ensure to keep improving, the upcoming upgrade is also a proof to that; so I don't listen to any project that tends to compare itself to ETH. With that being said, as for the next "unicorn", seriously I'm still waiting for it as a majority of new projects today tends to be found wanting in one aspect or the other.
