I see where you are coming from, but you cant even compare Ethereum's and Bitcoin's output added together with a fork and a half
are still 243x slower then Bitshares TPS. Very small amounts of the world economy uses this market. 115billion to date is the highest market cap we have had. Cant you see the goal is to migrate every single person on this planet over to this way of transport of value(money). This is a technology that can utilize every single person who has access to wifi on this planet to create a single cell economy.
The benefits of utilizing a larger amount of our population together in a open no border economy will increase the way of life of anyone who participates. each user generates value, the more users the more value.
Simply put bitcoin cant scale at the rate we need this technology to scale and the demand for blockchain based services will increase. The people will migrate naturally to what will support the healthiest economy, and the most people around the world. Everyone will benefit if we create a free economy on a single decentralized platform that we the users can all benefit off of each other. I stay optimistic the day EOS led by @dan is released and has potential to do unlimited TPS so there is chance at really creating a market that every single person on this planet has access to from where ever they live.
I'm very optimistic for the whole crypto space independent who'll take the lead because it's like looking into a crystal ball just (educated) guessing. Without a doubt from technical standpoint you're right and also how the community in steemit is developing are positives and that makes me feel optimistic. Bitcoin was the forerunner of progress and is still fighting for all the other assets and currencies because they solve problems for the others so they can learn from and improve their technologies even more. I think it's like a huge community with uncount disputes and discussions with the only goal to create progress.. 2 steps back 3 steps forward 2 steps .. and if had the chance to do a time-lapse ten years ahead i think we would see things unbelievable today!
Exciting times ahead steemit friends!
