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

[Kriptos]

in my opinion, Ethereum will remain in demand by entrepreneurs and investors as well because the technology from Ethereum is clearly good. I believe that if ETH developers can maintain or increase their security quality, of course in the future ETH will be difficult to compete with.

[Sithara007]

I don't know about the distant future. But if you ask me about the near future (2020-21), then I would say with a certain degree of certainity that ETH will remain as the no.1 smart-contract platform. The developers are still working hard to increase the efficiency of the platform and the competitors such as ADA and EOS are lagging miles behind ETH.

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 think for now, they will remain on the top till we have any other competitor which I dint see for now except Binance that is planning on their own blockchain and that is the only threat, what I see Binance doing is to see the loop holes in Ethereum and use it to form the base of their own development, and I am sure they will make their own operating system far cheaper than that of ethereum.

Most ICO that are building their projects on ETH smart contracts is just because they cannot own their own blockchain yet and since ETH is the cheapest now, they use it pending the time they are fully settle to make theirs and Binance might also explore this angle of cost to overtake them.

Voted for ETH because while he is the leader and, I hope, he will keep the first position. Decentralization is an advantage of its network. Although soon probably network Binance will compete with Ethereum .

[Mr.Noda]

In the foreseeable future, it is possible that
Ethereum will be number one among smart contracts.

[mrdeposit]

Right now, we can see that eth is better than other. Others have also made progress in this regard, but looks eth has gained more reliance. When the price was bad, there was a tendency towards the others, but others could not keep for a long time.

[GospelCrypto2]

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?

In my opinion,  it would be hard for any other smart contract offering project to overthrow ethereum,not just because it's the first of its kind but also because ethereum seamless integration with exchange.. Majority of the smart contract and tokenization platforma are yet to overcome that hordle. Take for example Neo irregardless of the hype that surrounded the project it's failed in terms of integration.

[TomArayaSlaya]

ETH to me seem to just grow stronger everyday and if there is no ETH in your portfolio then better check the list again because to me is one of the most important currency in the whole crypto Just check the line of tokens hosted on ETH blockchain and you will get the whole point am trying to make

[acheampong64]

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.

[Bitcoin Miners]

Projects failed are very normal. It is same as shitty projects (altcoins) created every day mostly to scam investors and fail. Choosing which ones to invest is responsibility and decision of each investor, so they should not blame on Ethereum network, anything else, or anyone else for their wrong decisions. Greediness most likely leads them to wrong decisions, they have to accept their faults.

I dont think failed project affecting ethereum because investor must be know the different. I think the ethereum price drop because market condition a several months ago. But at this moment, i think ethereum still popular coin with more competitors. Time will tell us who survive and have great achievement

a lot of project created on ethereum blockchain failed, but thats not the fault of ethereum foundations my friend
a failed project is because the project didn't have a good team, in marketing, development and others
so why a lot of project failed is because the project itself,
maybe ethereum price will affected, but i'm sure ethereum will always be number 1 smart-contract platform now and in the future

[ivaf]

Ethereum will certainly retain its leading position.
Comparing it with the EOS is not entirely correct since the EOS solves a slightly wider problem than Ethereum.
Cardano and Tron are still only at the beginning of their development, and will not be able to compete with Ethereum in the next few years.

Yes I agree! Ethereum will remain the number 1 platform in the intermediate future. Additionally, I believe start up projects are somewhat hesitant to choose other platforms other than Ethereum for the reason that platform usage and adoption on this alternative smart-contract competitors such as EOS, TRON, etc are still low whereas Ethereum enjoys the confidence of most projects to launch their project in its ecosystem. But I must say that these alternative platforms have their own promising features and merits worthy to be considered as Ethereum's competitors.

[BitcoinHodler]

"best" is the wrong word you chose in your poll because ethereum is the worst smart contract platform for many reasons including being centralized and not being able to handle medium number of transactions per second. but it will remain the number one on coinmarketcap because it is ranking based on market cap and that only depends on supply and since ETH has a huge supply most of which premined, it will remain on top.
also with all the advertisement and the hype that scammers want they will always chose that to scam people with their smart contract ICOs. but it won't make the platform itself any better though!

With the end of Q1 of 2019, we could surely say Ethereum will rule for this year and coming as most of the so called competitor of Ethereum has failed to get any attention of smart contract than Ethereum. Though they might have some growth but it's not as strong as Ethereum.
Ethereum smart contract is a widely covered sector, filled up with thousands of experts and documentations while others are still struggling to get things done.

[Teawhalee]

For its simplicity and easy access , Ethereum smart Contract is still the best to use and will remain top in the smart contract platform. Others don’t seem to have the simplicity and easy usage which makes it to be more preferred.

[Kang TB]

for me its simple and the answer is yes
everybody know bitcoin right, and i'm sure Bitcoin will always be number 1 cryptocurrency in this world, because bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency right ?
so, ethereum will always be number 1 crypto with smart contracts, because ethereum is the first platform with smart contracts my friend

[dipeco]

I am not sure about that one,  because Binance has created its own blockchain and I think there would be a lot of tokens in the future, that are going to built their smart contracts on the Binance Chain to get the advantages of it.

[OTC]

Well I would say its unpredictable in cryptocurrency for ethereum to remain the number one smart contract platform in 2020 and the coming years because there are many coins in the system right now which have a great potential so anything can happen.
