Guys, don't be fooled by Dan Larimer. Jeff Berwick just did an interview with Dan Larimer and when Jeff asked him, whether Ethereum can do the same to improve the transaction performance, he rolled his eyes(Usually this happens when someone is telling a lie). In fact, there is already an existing company that has already solved the block chain transaction performance issue, and it's Antshare. They utilized similar backbone technology(byzantine-fault-tolerance) as Ripple, and if you have used Ripple before then you will realized how fast their transaction is. If Antshare already have the technology to solve Ethereum's downfall and they will concentrate in the Chinese market which is far greater than Ethereum's existing market. Isn't that automatically made a better investment than EOS when they don't even have a proven product at the moment? Please don't blindly invest on an crypto just because someone said to, do your own homework. In fact, a university(https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/440-000-transactions-sec-blockchain-by-university-of-sydney-blockrush ) has tested by connecting multiple block chains together, they were able to achieved 440,000 transaction per seconds far greater than what EOS has promised, I personally think this will be the future, and in a programming perspective Ethereum and Antshare can utilize the same concept, it's a matter of times. It's a race between Ethereum and EOS, whoever gets the performance issue resolved first will be the one to stay. Good Luck investing!
