Would Ethereum remain the number 1 smart-contract platform in 2020 and onward?

[minersday]

The Ethereum platform is currently the most used platform by most smart contract platforms in the crypto ecosystem. Its specifically dedicated to be a blockchain platform that will provide smart contract protocols that can be easily added to other crypto platforms which will help eliminate third party involvement in the transaction of goods and services by users on their platform. In terms of Smart contract platforms, Ethereum is the best and the king.

[Nivia1st]

Ethereum could've been the best platform but unfortunately about 90% of all the projects that were built on the blockchain failed and as such it's affected Ethereum itself badly. Now, Ethereum can't even keep up with Bitcoin's price chart anymore. It's behaving as a normal altcoin though it wasn't doing so before. Buh well, you can't emphatically predict the future of any crypto coin/ platform but personally, i don't think Ethereum's future is all that secure. It shall be threatened real hard.

yes you're right, almost all projects that use erc20 are failed projects. but that doesn't mean making ethereum can't survive. if ethereum can solve a fundamental problem, maybe they have a chance in the future. actually there are many options to make ethereum back as before, POS and determine the total supply might be one way that can be done. but unfortunately this is only speculation.

more projects are being built on and supported for the Ethereum blockchain. also looks to be the most decentralized out of all the other platforms

Looking at the success of Ethereum in 2017, so many new ventures started their journey in order to compete Ethereum. Some took momentum as a matter of fact like Tron and Eos. Other names like Cardano and Zilliqa etc are also running in the race.

What do you think would Ethereum sustain this pressure and retain its leading spot?

How would the Proof of Stake, if implemented in time, work for Ethereum?

Would Ethereum solve their scalability issue?

Does Ethereum decentralization give it an edge over other centralized smart contract platforms?

So far. I don't see any coin that threatened Ethereum's position is the number one smart contract in the crypto community, so many ICO and companies are still using their smart contract, they are still the best and will retain their position comes 2020

[DainSLane]

I think ethereum remain the number one smart contract platform until in the future because it has strong blockchain technology and continue evolving and develop in the future, most of the ICOs are they trusted ethereum smart contract platform.

I don't really like the way you said, the success of ethereum because in this time, the product that the smartcontract has just provided us isn't really helped allot. More and more project that is considerably scam are just devastating the market, reliability of cryptocurrency has been decreased through that. Maybe we could prefer EOS soon.

[Irvinn]

I do not see any problems for ethereum, which would be a serious obstacle to his leadership in the use of smart contracts. While it is a common problem for ICO projects to lose their popularity. Of course, this affects the ethereum, but only indirectly, since it does not depend on this coin. I think that further ethereum will retain its position as the best platform for conducting ICO. However, other coins have already been in this competition for ethereum.

[Petchant]

Yes I think Ethereum will still retain its position as the most popular smart contracts platform beyond 2020 and my reason for this is because the team is super active and they continue working on the platform which will make it be always flexible to any new changes.

Ethereum is facing increased competition from many new platforms that are fast gaining market share notably EOS and Tron being the foremost however, it still has the largest development team globally and is aiming to solve it's scalability issues within the coming year so it's not likely to lose its lead anytime soon

Even now it is against lot many competitors. As the market keeps widening the competence between the leading platforms go to the peak. In this scenario ethereum stands high, and same will continue by 2020. As of now eos is emerging to make a big change in the market with its large number of dApps that are under development. With all good factors we can see a big year for Cryptocurrency.

[florac9]

No one can give answer to this question of yours, only the ETH team can answer this but my believe is Ethereum is a very capable altcoin and the Dev knows what's best for the coin ,if POS got implemented on ETH chain I don't know what the outcome will be but lets put our trust on the teams

There has been lots of pressure and Ethereum dev's are up to the challenge.

They have addressed the scalability issues so I don't think that is the problem right now. And it seems almost all the projects in the pipeline is based on Ethereum so I would assume that they will continue to dominate in the next 5 years or so.

I am agree, perhaps ethereum have good technology but i think right now many ethereum competitor like EOS or Tron. EOS become new favorite for many investor and i think Tron have good marketing team. Its hard to choose but i think we can divide our investment in several coin like ethereum, eos, trx to reducing risk from price fluctuation

[trauchot]

I think that yes, because now you can see how still most a lot of companies choose Ethereum as a platform to create their tokens and especially the latest update Constantinople attracted many companies and now I think that the demand for Ethereum technologies will be excellent.

[slaman29]

Ethereum is still the leading crypto of choice with companies such as google and some major venture capitalists plus the advantage it has as the first mover in terms of smart contracts.I think it will still retain it first position. Other competitors are not without challenge s

First mover advantage is big I agree but it also had a really bad reputation for being a pumped token and then the ICO scam platform that allowed everyone to just scam investors. Not that it was Ethereum's fault but people will see it that way. I think their chances will be bright though with the new staking protocols and the insistence to continued development.

After BNB coin change from ERC-20 to their own native blockchain, many token change to BNB blockchain. Ethereum could be favorites investment but i think many new competitors like EOS, BNB, or NEO.

[Shatterlean22]

No one dares see the future, moreover we keep seeing newer projects everyday in crypto world there is no guarantee that ethereum will remain at its present position by 2020 ,this is why I feel sorry for those thinking that new coins and tokens are useless

[ATSgrowth]

I am not sure, have you already tried some Dapps based on Ethereum? It is so slow and transaction fees are too high. That´s why many Dapps migrated to another faster solutions.

[Iykecollins]

I voted for etherium and I know they are still number one and will remain here for a very long time.  I do not see any of these listed coins to be a strong competitor much more overtaking etherium. The only one that may pose a big threat is Bnb but that it is if they become successful in hosting a lot of blockchain contracts. However people would want to stick to what they already know that has worked. Etherium is popular in the game and have made huge success in hosting projects on their platform

to maintain the position seems to be quite difficult now, but ethereum can certainly do it

How would the Proof of Stake, if implemented in time, work for Ethereum?

POS is indeed very attractive to investors. but I see ethereum still haven't decided whether to use this consensus or not. if indeed ethereum is serious about using POS, maybe there will be a big change in the market. many people will hold ethereum in large quantities. and this can trigger a big pump. but if someday there is an ethereum dump that will experience the most severe fall, because there will be many people who will sell ethereum.

Would Ethereum solve their scalability issue?

for now I'm still not sure.

Does Ethereum decentralization give it an edge over other centralized smart contract platforms?

not really, there are actually many similar platforms that are better than ethereum. but ethereum has a royal community so it looks better.
