Any developers here who are updated on all things in the cryptosphere still think Ethereum is a good platform to make dapps and smart contracts? All of them look like the founders created their own sand boxes to play in that produced and will produce nothing.
I speculate Ethereum will die once QTUM goes online. There is a reason team QTUM have made their platform compatible with Ethereum and Solidity. QTUM is POS and they will release it before Casper is implemented in Ehtereum.
Here is the kicker. Bo Shen of Fenbushi capital where Vitalik is also a general partner is heavily invested in QTUM. This makes me think that Vitalik has a hidden stake in there too which the Ethereum supporters does not have to know about.
This is not the first time I will here this theory you painted above, I was told that Ethereum foundation is heavily invested in Qtum project and if this is true, I foresee the beginning of the end for Ethereum platform
