ETH, EOS, QTUM, NEO, ADA....whatever platform. Aren't they all zero-sum games? How many new ICO's will there be launched, and won't such a huge competitive field not lead to oversaturation? Eventually all of the platforms in progress will be finished, and instead of just dapps and ICO's being mostly on ETH they will be spaced out quite evenly on all platforms. The prices of these platforms will probably be close to double digits than anywhere above 100$ (even for ETH) in the long term. I don't see how platforms won't be the big losers of Crypto in the end.

ETH, NEO and probably QTUM are going to make it. ADA and EOS are pure shitcoins...

Ij my opinion probably 1-2 platforms will dominate at most.
When looking in to the future, most of the internet will start being dapps. So everyone needs gas, how will platforms be losers then?

You guys are right, 1-2 platforms going toe-to-toe would be the ideal end game because they'd have a lot of market share to divide between each other. But at the current point, we have about 10 platforms with the ability to compete with each other, which will lead to a very bad spread.

Do you even... basics of blockchain, user?
Programmable blockchains are capable of vastly much more than just ERC20 tokens and ICOs. Ideally, dApps don't even need their own tokens, let alone ICOs for these tokens. Because crypto is such a scummy world full of greedy people it has currently evolved into a point, where new people can't fathom programmable blockchain projects without tokens.

Hopefully this all changes once the price of the whole crypto sphere comes out of this bubble and blockchain related projects start to be humble.

YOU FORGOT ZILLIQUA FAGGOT

I think it's pretty much a race to which platform has the largest adoption and most contributions from side programmers.

Once daps start getting build and the company's blockchain gets implemented in "corporate", they won't change it every 2 weeks for the hottest shit out there.

That's why is gonna be the 2 ones with most stable, usable features. Atm it's ETH and NEO, maaaaybe QTUM.

AND THEY ARE ALL WORTHLESS BASEDBOY CREATED PLATFORMS WITHOUT...............

> Do you even... basics of blockchain, user?

I do, been around since 2013. Build dApps during some Hackathons, so I am kinda in the know user.

> Programmable blockchains are capable of vastly much more than just ERC20 tokens and ICOs.

Yes, true, but at some point we will reach a point of saturation. There cannot be dozens to hundreds of platforms (which is slowly becoming the case). If they all manage to attract ICO's, dApps and investors then we will truly have a Decentralized platform space but at the cost of the individual platforms token pricing.

If you say that platforms will be the big losers in crypto, then what do you think the winners will be? I remind you that the group of programmable blockchains is roughly a superset of non-programmable blokchains. You can transfer value with a programmable blockchain exactly the same way as you can transfer value with Bitcoin.

As for predicting any value on cryptos in the long term... it's pointless. If and when mainstream adoption comes, then cryptos could be 1000x more used and only then the real valuations will be found out, which could be wildly different from what they are now.

I don't have a prediction. I hold some non-platform coins, but my speculative guess is as good as anyone else's. However my point does stand, that if you push a system to over saturation, you end up with a too competitive playing field for them all to be worth a lot. They are all competing for the same market share, so as soon as everyone's main net launches and we are out of the "vaper-ware" stage. I can't see a clear winner, only losers long term. Maybe some will go 10-100x, but we will settle at some equilibrium point unless one platform becomes such a huge game changer that it will be able to grasp 20-50% of the platform market share in the long term.

PS. ETH has steadily been losing market share to all other platforms for months already, the signs are out there.

Ethereum definitely has to get competition. Letting it get a monopoly is not positive. However, all these upcoming platforms will at the same time be also in the sphere of BTC, BCH, LTC, XLM,... not only each other and Ethereum.
I predict that Ethereum will surely have competition and maybe even be overthrown at some point. But, years later from now, the top crypto, whatever it may be, will be programmable.

yes, it's zero sum because any project will only pick one of those networks, and right now developers are only interested in building for one of them.

it already is a monopoly on smart contracts and tokens, and like bitcoin there's no reason to think it's going to be overtaken by another community-based effort that at least are only 20-30% better.

ethereum is too entrenched in the crypto market as a whole to be going anywhere, and its network is only growing stronger at the expense of these chinese copycats

we dont have 10 with the ability to compete, thats just hype and bagholder talk. coins like qtum are doa, cardano have no devs intersted in using their network, eos is all hype and too centralzed to attract the early wave of devs necessary to bootstrap a platform.

people were saying the exact same things about bitcoin 4-5 years ago during the shitcoin explosion.

> people were saying the exact same things about bitcoin 4-5 years ago during the shitcoin explosion.

I was around, and people weren't saying the same shit about alt-coins. People weren't even concerned about alt-coins back then, the argument against alt-coins was much dififerent, it was more like "we don't need them, Bitcoin will have everything". Nobody really was bothered about saturation when I got in April 2013 and first started trading/mining/etc. Since then I have been living off Bitcoin, so sure, I am a bag holder ok. A successful one at least.

The best thing you can do is to buy unique shit imho, with some good fundamentals.
For example Vechain. I don´t hold it, but just to get the point. It does something different than ETH or NEO or whatever it may be and has some real world partnerships.
Imho better to get in such coins, with an own mainnet, than buying ERC-20 tokens or every plattform token out there

not alts vs bitcoin, but alts vs themselves

You are all missing the biggest thing.

EOS CAN DO 1,000,000 transactions a second.
ETH CAN DO ONLY 17.

EOS will be the only dapp blockchain come June 1st.

Research it.

You fucking piece of shit!
EOS can never do 1,000,000 TPS
That´s just the fucking theory
It will never be practical for this shitcoin, uneducated noob

Its use case vs use case.
Platform VS Platform
Currency VS Currency
Niche VS niche...

Any niche competes against their relevant project for market share.
So it kind of has been alts vs alts and BTC vs alts up until today.
Bitcoin never once lost it #1 position.

In 1-2 years from now all platforms will be able to run about the same TPS. In the long term these small scale network changes won't matter. Maybe EOS will be the first and will grow astronomically in value because of it. But with time it will be overshadowed by yet another platform break through until these lapses in technological development won't be selling points for the masses anymore.
