EOS: Social dominance metric spiked on 27 June, thanks to Ethereum

ambcrypto.com:

Ethereum [ETH] founder Vitalik Buterin, gave props to the EOS blockchain in response to a question posed by an Ethereum employee. Interestingly, Buterin’s response suggests that he believes EOS is a better blockchain than Ethereum.

The name reflects the fact that the core team learned from Ethereum's amateurish naivety and idealism, and built out a team of professional top-talent software developers that created a smart contract platform with much higher scalability and speed.

Vitalik’s statement attracted the attention of Yves La Rose, the CEO of the EOS Foundation. He took the opportunity to clarify a few things about the EOS blockchain.

First, the EOS blockchain can handle over 100 million transactions per day, making it a high-performance blockchain. The EOS founder also noted that poor leadership has been the biggest challenge that the network has faced in the past.

This is a fact. #EOS is the only blockchain that’s proven it can handle 100m+ transactions per day.

Technology is not a problem for EOS… But in the past, leadership was a HUGE problem.https://t.co/y9bEj6C4pq

Now that EOS has overcome the leadership challenge, La Rose expects the network to finally be on the right growth path. He also noted that the network is not an “Ethereum killer,” and is instead an “Ethereum enabler.” This hints at collaborations between the two networks, as well as growth opportunities for the EOS cryptocurrency.

EOS topped out at $15.67 in 2018 but it failed to rally past its all-time highs during the 2021
