I do feel of course in my opinion -- not too important -- lol
but --
seems like ETH is losing its lustre -- and imo only is a key player because of 2 things -- the exchanges that use ETH as a pair for trading (it keeps it relevant at all times )
and then of course COINBASE == every newbies safe haven --- "wanna try this newbie -- just grab our fund of BTC/LTC/ETH -- and coinbase will make u rich - lol
-- its all the newbies feel comfy with since its pushed onto them by the one trusted large exchange
there are so many competitors who will be able to do the same platform and contracts -- in better ways -- with better plans and connections ---
ETH will not go away -- it will still be top top coin -- but the huge growth i believe is over --
EVEN BITCOIN will be able to delve into contracts in future if thats a road needed ... or worth it .....
and even ETC -- the original -- still amazes me with speed and cost -- after all these years !!!! yet it is still undervalued and incredible -- i think this will be noticed as will the newer platforms that will take over -- or will certainly be the "luxury MODEL"
I still go back to ETC classic being OG original ... and it really is a nice tool -- i was shocked at the speed when doing transaction just last night ! just showed me ETH is being pushed by big money and large projects --it is very close to one or more of these other platforms -- especially smart contract ones to start offering an advantage !
2018 will be the years we see a leader surpass ETH --
media and whales may keep ETH in limelight -- but try to be part of one of the NEW KEY PLAYERS
BITCOIN WILL CONTINUE TO RUN --
part of me wants to put all my crypto bak to bitcoin - but i believe in a few important projects !
BITCOIN IS N WILL ALWAYS BE KING
49 percent dominance within month !
