Hi sv624,
my 2 cents....you're talking abt two dirreferent world. Eth is actually (and I emphasize actually) the most picked due to the ECR20 gold rush. However, in the long run and especially for those industries that'll be running on private blockchain, hyperledger will be the one. Why don't you on the contrary try to invest your time to get familiar with both?? Good luck
I agree. Currently, Ethereum is the go-to choice for deploying a token/smart contract to a public and widely distributed blockchain. Hyperledger's technology is built for enterprise, though some of it could be adapted to a crypto use case (and possibly has been, not completely sure tbh).
My organization BTRIC has initiated contact with the Hyperledger Project and hopefully we will be a part of that soon. The way I see it, all of the different projects offer the opportunity for innovation that can benefit the entire field. We are also currently conducting a crowdsale with Ethereum ERC20 tokens, because that's the current de-facto standard. But we are closely examining the technologies before deciding on a long-term platform for our currency or token. There are some very real concerns I have about the stability of the Ethereum blockchain. I'd like to examine some alternatives as well as get input from experts.
You may also want to look into some other novel blockchain projects, such as Stellar, Cardano, and even Ripple. People knock Ripple because it's implemented as centralized (at least right now), but the code could be forked anytime and made into a more distributed system. It's a good idea to keep abreast of the different adaptations of distributed ledger technology.
Oh, and don't forget Omni. If you're familiar with Bitcoin it will probably be the easiest for you to understand Omni because as I understand it, it's a fork that has been enhanced with additional features for their use cases.
Best of luck with your blockchain education!
Best regards,
Ben
