I'm sure it will be worth watching Anton. Ethereum has peaked a couple of times recently and all the extra attention is putting a spotlight on it's ability to scale. Besides Metropolis, developments around Plasma and Raiden are key. Ethereum alone will not have "Visa-scale tx capacity" most likely a combination of these technologies. Personally, I would like to discuss EOS, maybe save it for another time?
I agree with you on this point. Ethereum is certainly being pulled back on it's ability to grow by all the developments. Next week's post will be on @alexmavor's profile so i'll make sure to let him know!
