I agree with you - next year will be the year for EOS and Steem . Like Dan Larimer says - it's hard to change the engine on a running car. Essentially this is the situation for Ethereum.

EOS is built from the ground to handle the kind of scalability that Ethereum is facing now without even breaking a sweat. If we look from a technological stand point EOS will be much superior and I think it has long ways to go in its price increase
