Which smart contract platform will prevail?

[tdeannova]

ethereum remains the best, I'm sure they will not stay silent and give innovation to win the competition. it's just that in the future projects that use blockchain themselves that have smart contracts will be limited and have their own advantages and disadvantages. so depending on the interest we want to choose which one.

I think ethereum is still going to be the best because now this smart contract ethereum is in use for various ico and has grown to be the best, if there is smart contract from other platform i think still below ethereum.

I think that Ethereum will be the leader, but something must be changed. Too many projects, too many tokens which nobody needs. I think that Ethereum will win this marathon because of developers and regular updates. Also community trusts Buterin and his network!

Agree. One of the best things that Ethereum has is a dedicated development team and a lot of support from its community, making it stand against many smart contract platforms in the market today. Perhaps, even after EOS is launched, Ethereum will remain in the lead as many dApps have already been established on it. Migrating current dApps into another platform like EOS might not seem the best way to go by developers as they would need to spend the same amount of time and effort they did with Ethereum.

But one thing for sure is that the competition becomes stronger as new smart contract platforms appear on the market. Therefore, it's only a matter of time before Ethereum maintains its current position in marketcap as alternative platforms will race to become the top smart contract platform in marketcap. Just my opinion

I checked ethereum because I believe for now, even though the bitcoin smart contracts did very well in the past, when they expired the price was greatly affected. With the ethereum blockchain protocol there is more potential, the contracts are still just starting out now. They will do the best, the smart contracts on ethereum will help to increase the value of the coin greatly.

Agree. Ethereum is the holy grail for smart contracts, since it's considered the very "first" cryptocurrency which have brought the concept of smart contracts. Due to Bitcoin's limited scripting capabilities, it wasn't practical to use as a platform for smart contracts. Hence, after the appearance of Ethereum back in 2015, many smart contracts were developed providing many uses to the mainstream world such as tokens, DAOs, dApps, and more. Until today, many startups and companies launch their ICOs on the Ethereum blockchain because they rely on it. Ethereum has been tried and tested many times, which will become a strong platform for smart contracts in the future.

Even if many competitors like NEO, Cardano, and EOS have emerged, I think that they won't be able to overcome Ethereum easily since the original smart contract platform has first mover advantage. Many dApps has been developed on Ethereum, and even if it's experiencing issues with scalability in the moment, it will be much faster and cheaper in the future. Therefore, only time will tell us whenever the market chooses Ethereum as the top smart contract platform in marketcap, or another alternative platform becomes extremely popular taking Ethereum's place as the second largest cryptocurrency by marketcap. Such situation will determine which platform will prevail in the future. Just my thoughts

I think that the smart contracts on Ethereum and Neo are already thriving. I think the next will be EOS

Agree. Ethereum and NEO are very strong smart contract platforms, but with the inception of EOS, things will become very troublesome for the leading smart contract platforms we know and love today. Since EOS provides unparalleled scalability, and zero fees, I believe that it would become adopted at a greater level than ETH and NEO for smart contracts in the mainstream world. However, even if this happens, I still think that ETH will remain as the second largest cryptocurrency in market cap, since it has first-mover advantage.

In the end, it's only a matter of choice and adoption within people across the world, to determine which smart contract platform will prevail in the future. The one that has constant development and innovation, a strong community, and huge support from companies/startups worldwide, will most likely succeed over the long term. Just my opinion
