Will there be a "next Ethereum"?

[speedy1987]

Ethereum is facing a lot of competition from platforms like EOS, NEM, NXT, Lisk, Waves, NEO, Stratis, Chainlink, DragonChain and others.  The playing field is very competitive, but Ethereum has a clear advantage in usage and community.  Do you think these other projects stand a chance?  If so, which ones?

I always go with NEO. Because there is lots of feasibility to compete NEO with Ethereum. NEO is china base crypto currency. I have read one article, In 2018 many ICO project going to use NEO. I hope after 1 year it may be next to BTC.

Ethereum is by no means the only growing player;  a number of new crypto-currencies with their own unique protocols can take the place of Ethereum.  One of them is NEM (an increase of 28,000% since the beginning of last year, the sixth place in terms of capitalization). The first and most important property of NEM and the system of Smart Asset - they allow the organization to customize the blockchain in accordance with business needs. Blockchain NEM is designed in such a way that  simplify its connection to the existing infrastructure.

If Chinese were to open gates to crypto traders then NEO will definitly be the ethereum of asia. Currently cryptosphere in china is being dull but we can say for sure after dust settles.

I totally agree with you. NEO can be the next ethereum. It is already giving good competition to Ethereum. But it would take some time.

I think NEO has the advantage to any other coin so for me its a battle between ETH and NEO. If we can still see a lot of scam on ETH coin, I think NEO will replace him specially when Chinese people support this coin. The level of competition are getting more intense, those who continue to improve its system will be ahead from any other coin.

NEO, Waves and others are genuine project tend to compete with ethereum. But who knows what will happen to them on a larger scale.

Presently, I think NEO highly hyped but I will go with the underdog Waves to surprise the crypto community.

[Ashimwe]

I agree with you, Neo and ICX could be the next ethereum, they are all gaining mass adoption basing on the fact that most Chinese ICOs will run on the neo blockchain and Korean projects on ICON platform

[xsaints128]

I don't know about the next ethereum but I would say that NEO is gaining huge popularity in terms of usage as well as the number increasing ICOs being held on its blockchain. The NEO community is increasing very rapidly.

[bitbunnny]

It's the similar question like if Bitcoin will be replaced by another coin and wich one will become a new Bitcoin.
My answer for both is that they don't have serious competition . And it's not only the price that counts and makes the difference.
New coins and projects appear all the time and although NEO seems to have good perspective I don't think that is a threath to Ethereum.

Neo is fairly popular i think it has chance to go long way. on other hand waves is an excellent platform, it also promising. it doesn't yet have smart contracts but will soon and couple of other things are on the roadmap, it could really explode(i hoard couple of waves ).

[Onion_Azz]

NEO is a direct competitor and I feel when the Asian market picks up it will slowly creep up on Ethereum and take over. I also have a strong interest towards ICON from South Korea. Asia will stick to there own coins and they will succeed in driving them up the market

This is Cryptocurrencies, the struggle to turn out as the best is always high. Bit ethereum stands a better chance out of the rest. Ethereum forms a base for most of these tokens and it is very difficult for any other token to outrun ethereum. Even if we might see another altcoin rising up to the status of ethereum, but for now, ethereum still remains the most adopted and accepted.

NEO is my personal favourite in the etherium killer contest. ADA EOS are very raw potential competition

As of now theres no one new coins can beat the ethereum in terms of price value,popularity,and usefulness in the exchange market because this is the only altcoins that an ERC20,that can be useful in any kind of transaction in the blockchain.actually there's so many kind of altcoins now going out in the exchange that having potential to grow, but as of now they cannot beat ethereum next to bitcoin in rank of all altcoins,because of having some issues now of bitcoins flexibilty into the crypto world.

[Nhor1011]

     There's a lot of good coins and compititors of ethereum in the market. But still ethereum are most useable and most accepted by the people because of it's uses. And i think,even a lot of coins out there, ethereum is still at the top of them as an altcoins.

[Ojengonggu]

because while eterium is still at the top because there are still many projects and people use it and by the end of 2017 there is a newcomer ETN but still in the market development stage to be accepted by the community.

I think the two main contenders are NEO and EOS.

NEO have the Chinese community and are gaining new ICO's every week.
EOS gained the Bitfinex support recently, to start a decentralized exchange. Other will follow.

In the cryptos listed, I find NEO most likely because it is now considered Ethereum of China. Also, the crypto will be supported by the government so the crypto will overgrow in the future, which is undeniable.

NEO is my personal favourite in the etherium killer contest. ADA EOS are very raw potential competition

NEO current price is $132.19 USD (-7.71%) according to coinmarketcap.com on this time. For me this is quite far to be next ethereum, maybe in china but not in the whole world. XRP has a potential than NEO, as you see it, it always count on the top five promising crypto currency. That's why XRP have one step ahead to NEO. I'm not saying that NEO is a bad token.

[peter.from.penn]

EOS is the best one out of all the coins , the most important thing for a coin is to get listed on major exchanges so that the price can rise if they announce any partnership or important upgrade and eos already has that , it has enough funds as well if it's manage properly it can become one of the top coins easily

Of all the competitors, I think that EOS has the best likelihood of stealing massive market share from Ethereum.  In addition to having an incredible community of supporters and listing on major exchanges, EOS has deep funding for development.  They have an army of developers, so I think they will achieve their vision.

[michkima]

Waves would be my bet on this one.

They are similar to ETH and they have their own decentralized trading platform, wallet, and other services developed by the coin's own developer. I think it just needs more support to get traction and it will likely go as high up as ETH.

[Scallywag]

i think there will be for sure , we are just at the start of all these new technical developments . eth will be around for a while but there will be someone who does it in a better way. some projects show a lot of promise like the ones you stated in the OP.
