What is this SHARDING thing ETH is coming with to keep it as king of alts

[Magneto151]

All right I have been reading through and seeing a lot of posts about ETH and it's future. I personally think it is losing its competitive edge over other alts but recently I am hearing a lot about sharding and the fact that it's the technical knock outs to other alts and keep it as king of alts. What do you guys think?

On the contrary, now smart contracts are in the trend and are increasingly being applied, how many ICO is already based on the ETH  created. So the ether I hope in the future should be on par with bitcoin, to show that these are equivalent branches in such an unstable market.

Sharding will help Ethereum fascilitate more transactions. Scalability is an issue that has to be solved, because the network won't be able to handle all the traffic in the near future.
I don't agree that Ethereum is losing momentum compared to other alts. It actually has the best vision for future development IMO.
