The latest debacle with the Eth network is the Status ICO crowdsale. It seems to have congested the ETH blockchain and now transactions are stuck in queue. Price just dropped 15% on polo and it seems to keep going down.

Looks like we just got our first glimpse at Eth's major problem - IT DOES NOT SCALE!

So what happens when all these apps start getting used? simple answer is Eth grinds to a halt. All of this money invested in a broken product.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I have not yet read any explanation for this Ethereum problem and I would wait for an official pronouncement before making any judgement. Anyway, no matter how good a technology we are promoting there would come a time when a crash can happen. Congestion can also happen because of transaction volume.

Ethereum right now is getting popular and users are expanding in many fronts. There are now many other coins exploiting what the Ethereum platform can bring. But I don't believe Ethereum and its stakeholders could not find the right solution for this problem.

In other words, it is still too early to judge Ethereum knowing it already survived a lot of challenges before.

About the scaling I believe this is why they want to switch over to proof of stake eventually. But I think you are correct at least in the short term the problems in the ethereum blockchain are going to continue for a while.
