My belief is in Ethereum. Extensive tech documentation, massive adoption, and somewhat decentralized community.
NEO and QTUM as smart contract platforms are all on life support. I know they have good price performance, but that's almost irrelevant. I would think NEO's ontology as their attempt to survive as a product. Because their current platform sucks. Check their code and see what smart contract they can support other than token issuance. And for QTUM, I don't think they give Dapps any reason to choose them as a platform, not enough tech documentation, generally disappointing performance after being listed, and not enough community involvement - too centralized.
EOS is another scam. The competition for the 21 super nodes set the tone for centralization. And if you are ok with centralization, why bother choose EOS, just go with Google, Aws. And I would argue, those are far more trustworthy central nodes than most of the scams that are running for the super nodes.

One that is actually working, most of those you posted aren't eve working yet. I still choose Ethereum, because for now, it's the easiest to use, NEO has some benefits, but I don't think it's gonna prevail, because it's not as easy to use. Waves might gain some traction, because creating a token on there is literally three clicks away and if it's easy, most people can do it.

Many of the industry-specific utility tokens being created on the Ethereum platform don't require large transactions-per-second speed, so for them, I think ETH will remain a viable platform.

For applications that do require huge transaction numbers, then EOS may be the more suitable path, going forward.

Ethereum has a large number of supporters and is the largest and most successful platform for decentralized applications, many use its smart contracts, but I believe that it has a more promising competitor, EOS, which in the future will be able to completely replace it. In addition, EOS will use parallelization to make possible block scalability for potential millions of transactions per second. Unlike Ethereum, which uses the Proof-of-Work / Proof-of-Stake hybrid system, EOS will use the Graphene technology, which uses the consensus mechanism with delegated trust (DPOS), which was demonstrated in stress tests to reach 10,000-100,000 transactions per second, unlike 25 transactions per second for Ethereum. EOS includes a mechanism for freezing and fixing broken or frozen applications. For example, if the DAO were implemented on EOS, it could be frozen, patched and updated without disturbing other EOS applications. This is only part of the benefits of EOS, so I voted for it, but it's worth mentioning that EOS has not yet realized a full-fledged and workable product.

Completely agree with you, mate. Even if now Ethereum is the largest and most popular smart contracts platform in the world, it could easily be replaced by EOS's greater tech. It provides unparalleled scalability which allows anyone to transact and interact with smart contracts in a stress-free way than Ethereum itself. Therefore, the probability of EOS replacing Ethereum in the future is extremely high, unless Ethereum upgrades itself to scale for a wider audience in the mainstream world.

Nevertheless, only time will tell us, if Ethereum will prevail in the end or not. But by the looks of it, the odds of Ethereum maintaining its place in the cryptocurrency markets are becoming low as EOS prepares itself for mainnet launch. Just my opinion Smiley

I have a few choice but since I can only choose one, I choose ETH. It is by far the most popular platform and has a large user base. I find Neo to be good too and I believe that Neo will continue to grow.

Up to date, many smart contract platforms have emerged after the inception of Ethereum. Given the popularity of developing decentralized applications which are censorship-resistant, a lot of money is being poured into cryptocurrencies which have such technology.

As such, it would be only a matter of time before one of the many available smart contract platforms in the market, would prevail and becomes widely used in the mainstream world.

So, the question is: Which smart contract platform will prevail? Will it be Ethereum, NEO, Cardano, or others? Please make sure to vote in the poll above for your desired option. Also, I would like to know your thoughts about this. Smiley
