Is LISK a real Ethereum Competitor?

[somacoin]

I've read a lot about LISK these days and to me it seems like a real competitor to Ethereum.

I suppose it can overtake Ethereum technologically.

What do you guys think about this? Am I wrong?

While it is difficult to judge about something. We are waiting for the official launch.
But I fear that the price on the stock exchange Lisk scored Yobit, he will not turn again to reach this bar.
Hype very much they have done a great (coming on the stock exchange "naked")

It is a competitor because of the implementation of sidechains for scalling the network and easy programming of dapps with javascript. Good for you? Simple is better  

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yeah, but the big question is how is the market and the crypto community going to accept ethereum.  It could very well be a flop, and in that case a competitor is pointless.  Look at all the shitcoins on the market now.  It's absolutely ridiculous.

[sandiman]

Lisk needs to work a lot if they want to catch up with ETH and all the quality project that are being built in it.

[maxsinner]

Lisk should have no problems holding a 10x ICO marketcap for the first few months after launch. After that it all depends on the developers and if they put the ICO money to good use.

[KhalDrago]

Dont think so, its crypti rebranded so not sure. Waves has better chance to get that high.

[leto.atreides]

I would say that execution is the key here.
Ethereum is on the market for quite some type now and had the advantage of pinpointing a real life need: smart contracts. This was the engine that created the snowball effect.
Lisk, I would say, its more easier to implement. No proprietary code:Serpent, Solidity , but lacks think-tanks like Consensys who work hard on creating an environment for developers to create dapps on top of ethereum. But Lisk doesn't have this because it's in its early stage. That's why I said the execution is everything here.
It would be the difference between the Apple Appstore versus Android Store.

[50cent_rapper]

Lisk is renamed Crypti, right ?
I would say Lisk is not real Ethereum competitor, but let's wait few month after launch to check my thoughts.

It's Crypti based, but a totally different approach. I can see it as a competitor, but let's not forget that Ethereum has a few steps ahead (earlier on the market, more PR) . Lisk can burn some steps and reach ethereum if gathers developers so they can deliver dapps sooner. Even for ethereum took a year and a half to come with augur and the rest. It's not easy to embark developers and have them develop on top of your chain. No matter if it's in Solidity or java script. A good developer can switch from javascript to go in 2-3 months. It's about what you offer them so this transition is as smoothly as possible. They need clear documentation, easy to use API calls demo and so on. This is what a developer needs to be productive. Especially if he/she did not program before on top of blockchain. They need to understand the blockchain concept and then to develop on top of it.

i don't think anything at this point can compete with ethereum because ethereum always had a lot of funds at hand from the begining to advertise and spread FUD and other methods to spread the word and get everybody hyped up which caused the huge bubble.

if LISK grows it will be real growth and its hype will be small.

[~Bitcoin~]

Lisk has promised they will provide all that ethereum is providing right now but with different programming language that is javascript but they are delaying alot for their official lauch, making them really fishy project and several investors already like to get out of lisk.

How can be fishy since the money from ICO are still in the escrow and they can not use that money yet?Maybe it would have been better for them to announce the launch further in the future from beginning instead of be optimistic about having the launch earlier. But while acknoleging that lisk is not ready for prime-time I guess it was not an easy decision to take, I do believe it was the smart one.
The investors you are talking about I think they would had get out of lisk anyway. It's just that the "get out" moment was postponed.

How about Waves? I see them being market all the time and taht most of the users get to have the Waves signature. if it gets good, the price may reach just probably enough to compete. I think Waves has a good roadmap too.

I think lisk has started to compete ethereum, but from a few days the speed of ethereum is a little more than the lisk, and the other thing is that now some of the people have started to use it for their businesses while lisk is now used only for trading purpose.

We have to wait for the Lisk Foundation to be set. Once this is done they will have access to the Lisk funds to develop and use the money for marketing purposes. Right now everything that is being done is almost with no money, so it is really hard do predict where this is going to after this events happen.

But something i inderstand here is the fact that Max is really good at Marketing their product, this guy is brilliant on this and has already made partnership with Chain of Things, put Lisk template on Microsoft Saas, publishing news, etc. This is something that was missing with Cripty and many other coins out there, eventhough some of them have really good developers.

Day by day Lisk is becoming more stable as bugs are being fixed and more features are being added, so it is no way similar to Cripty anymore. I would give a shot for this coin and till the end of this year we might see where it is heading  

[redcow]

Ether is bigger project then Lisk..

[leto.atreides]

Ether is bigger project then Lisk..

You are right. It is and should be. It would be strange if not. There are 2 years already since is on the market.
We were not talking about which one is bigger. We were talking about what real chances has lisk to compete with ethereum. Ethereum being big is not enough.

What do you guys think about this? Am I wrong?

the questions that matters is: will the price go as high as ETH?

If you have two years to wait, I would say yes. Maybe even less. Ethereum did a lot of PR, for Lisk should be easier. Ethereum has been the ice braker for smart contracts and dapps, the same way how btc was the firts ice breaker for crypto currency.

[stoat]

Yes.  Lisk is a competitor to Ethereum.  In the same way that Oxford united is a competitor to barcelona.

[tigerwood0432]

Lisk ? BS

they need to work very hard to catch eth

[lokojones]

Lisk ? BS

they need to work very hard to catch eth

and this is exacly what they do:)

[StealthCoin1]

butterin is dumping his crap for LISK
LISK is bitcoin 3.0

[s1gs3gv]

Somebody needs to swap in clojure for javascript and rebrand lisk as lisp

~LOL~

[Searing]

Well to revive this dead link....Lisk is now at $9.45 this date...so I'm guite happy

I got in on the ICO with my 1 BTC of lisk ...back in the day!

[bboyjohn]

What was your bought price? You are one of the rich man with LISK!

I think 1 BTC was around $650 ..guessing...

but yeah, sometimes dumb and lucky works

on the other hand, a bit before the same buddy talked me out of getting Ether (ETH) at 1 BTC = 990 ETH

I remember staring at that screen a lot and passing

so many missed boats, it is hard to keep track

[hdclover]

Lol! No
Lisk is lisk and ETH is ETH. At the movement the is no comparison in between them at all. In the future this may or may not be changed. Ethereum is a real working product which is backed up by biggest companies and LISK is still just a concept so don't try to compare the non existing thing with the real one.

conceptually it is working damn fine for me

[gomei]

Though the lisk pumps a lot today, I still think it is not a competitor to etherium since I can not see much development activities as to the etheruium. One key reason that the price is high in my opinion is the DPOS mechanism, a lot of big holders lock their tokens.

lisk does not give too much pressure to etherium , so i think it is not his real competitor rather bitcoin cash is the real competitor of etherium because bitcoin cash has many advantage and more potential compared to some other altcoins and infact bitcoin cash has already surpassed the value of etherium and officialy takes the second spot next to bitcoin.

[freebutcaged]

Look how they are pumping what is already manipulated with insider trading in Yoshit. I am speaking from experience mate, Lisk has no future, because

When you have unlimited supply, you'll get fucked by the biggest whale, they will keep forging and dumping, forging and dumping @you mate. huhu

Dpos==largest wallet forging everything, someone with 10M Lisk could divide 8M between 200 addresses and vote for his own 101 delegates without any real

Opposition, no one could compete, even if you try to buy off more Lisk than him, you'll be giving away your money to him, he would push the price up and

Forge more every day to safeguard his delegates.

[crypto-curious]

Lisk and Ethereum are pretty good on their own. Comparing them is very difficult...IMO

[justinluke]

Probably yes in near future

[Searing]

Well, I got to say $11.12 USD ...is making me damn happy......

go baby go.......

Now if Lisk can just have 10 bucks as a permanent floor price

I'd be estatic...(till my greedy self would start yelling at the chart to go to $20 USD.)

sigh....
