While I definitely want to see EOS succeed, I also would like to see Ethereum succeed. I think Vitalik will be able to build a mobile proof of stake platform that can run on top of the existing ETH network allowing the transactions to scale to visa level. Then ETH can be hardforked to proof of stake promoting it to the same level of speed EOS will boast. Eth Alliance has the right business connections if they can prove scalability.

Ease of programming will make a huge difference in adoption as well. I would hope that SMT's surpass both in ease of use and distribution similar to Aragon's software. We the steem community will have to build this though.
