Somethings they can and will solve. Other things are part of its foundation and pretty much doom its future for mainstream appeal.

The big thing is having 10 wallets control the entire platforms wealth. You can't tie up 50% of the coins in circulation to 10 wallets. It's just too lopsided. You get no distrubution until you get past 90% of circulation supply.

As you see by this 2570 wallets control 90% of circulation (That is about 900,000,000 EOS controlled by only a few entities).

Steemit had this problem and still does to a lesser extent. As time has gone on the whales have distributed more of the coins. So far the trend in EOS is more of the wealth has gone to the whales INSTEAD of being distributed. This is a huge problem as EOS just doesn't work when most of the big holders don't actively participate on the chain. So effectively it is running at 10% with no real outlet to improve. Also noone with a brain will want to invest in EOS as when you have only a few entities controlling so much wealth, if one of those dumps, it could crash EOS to damn near 0. It's a giant problem with no solution, but in the meantime I encourage people to spend time learning EOS and avoid investing because the price is extremely bloated imo.
