There are many projects with the potential to compete with Ethereum like EOS, Cardano, NEO ... IOST is also among them, this is a very promising project. But all altcoin now depends on the behavior of bitcoin. We have a lot of good news for the market, if bitcoin enters a long recovery phase, it will lead to all growth markets, IOST is no exception.
yes, thats right
but, usually when bitcoin price rising altcoins price will rise but only in USD terms, not in Bitcoin terms
because in bitcoin terms a lot of altcoins price will down
about IOST, this is a great project, but surely ethereum is the best project from its competitors my friend
