ETH has the first mover advantage which is a very powerful thing. That's why I consider ETH to be one of the safest high return investments of our time. Bitcoin should already be dumped and preserved in a museum and replaced by Dash. Yet it has the #1 market cap and popularity simply because of its first mover advantage.
It's always better to have more competitors like EOS or Waves. But I do belive ETH team is very capable and above all there is the first mover advantage.
Thanks for sharing the article @cryptovoice and for the constructive discussion @vimukthi, I also believe Ehtereum has the momentum of the first mover, but the proposal of EOS seems to me quite innovative. I am investing on both.
