Ethereum can process only 25 tps compared to 2000 tps Tron. In a recent testing platform Zilliga managed to reach a rate of 2828 tps. This means that it will be difficult for the Ethereum to remain the king of smart contracts and ICO. And yet - it is worth recalling that the Stellar platform is now more convenient for launching ICO in comparison with ETH. As will be further - we'll see.

One thing for sure, is that many new technologies and improvements have been coming around the past years from rival projects, to make a stable and secure smart contract platform. If Ethereum's competitors succeed in providing secure and scalable smart contracts before Ethereum does, then ETH's place could be at risk as its rivals would rise in user adoption within the mainstream world. However, I believe that Ethereum's Casper PoS and Sharding improvements are just around the corner, to make it as efficient and secure as possible.

Ethereum is a decentralized platform which allow you to build decentralized applications with using tokens as payment method. Ethereum provides a technology that is useful for a lot of application such as digital currency, electronic vote, etc. Like bitcoin, ethereum has value because a lot of people believe that it will be widly used in the future, and buy the cryptocurrency linked to it (ether) because its price will grow if more and more people buy it. This price comes from the trust people put in this technology, the belief that it is secure, and the assumption that it will be used more and more in the future.

I think Neo, like most of the top 10 cryptos are a good bet. When china finishes with its ICO regulation you see more growth, i believe Neo currently has 6 new ICOs in development. This year feels like the more trusted Big/Mid caps will do very well.
