Ethereum vs EOS Shots Fired On Reddit As Vitalik, Dan Larimer Clash

<head>Buterin opens

The first in the ring was Buterin, who responded to an Ethereum Reddit thread post claiming that EOS was far superior to Ethereum because of the number of transactions and flexibility that Ethereum cannot offer.The Ethereum cofounder argued that EOS, Larimer’s brain child, while offering large numbers of transactions but through a system that removes the protections of Merkle proofs and makes it impossible for regular users to audit the system unless they plan to personally run a full node.He also argued that the nature of EOS decentralization through DPOS causes undue reliance on voting, which has proven problematic in the past with low voter turnout and little to no voter incentive.Lastly, Buterin took issue with EOS fees, since transactions are linked directly to coins held, making it costly for poorer users:“The poor, who are not interested in putting the entirety of their often very low savings into a funky new crypto asset in order to be able to use a Blockchain.”

This is just a personal opinion.

Dan is brilliant and is probably the tip of the spear in the block chain revolution. Will this translate to EOS becoming number 1 ?

If we look at Steemit, and it challenging Facebook, so far the experiment, RELATIVELY SPEAKING, is a BIG failure.

So, its not a given that EOS will take Ethereum's crown.

Anything can happen from now to next year, maybe other players
will bring more to the table.
