In the short term cherry picking some improvements from EOS and integrating them into Bitshares 2 may make sense. Long term Bitshares 2 will not be able to compete with BEOS, as the latter will have a superior foundation with many significant advantages over Bitshares 2.
And what are those features that make EOS absolutely superior and essential? we should remember that the most capitalized currency has no relevant technical characteristics. I suspect that all those characteristics are beads and colored glasses to deceive the unwary.
Technically inferior technology can lead in capitalization, maybe even for a long time. However superior tech will succeed and will likely win out in the end. EOS is Dan Larimer's 3rd blockchain and is being built with lessons learned from the first two, Bitshares being the first. EOS is a natural upgrade path for Bitshares.
Some of the most significant advantages BEOS will have over BTS 2:
- Smart contract support
- Compatibility with EOS Dapps
- Massive scalability
- Low latency (likely sub-second)
- Free transfers
Do not lose sight of the fact that cryptos are used as an investment. As an investor I have clear the advantages of Bitshares: stable and self-guaranteed price currencies with which I can make backups of my investments. Coins that give 5% per year, a DEX own where no one can steal the coins. Instant transactions.
All this is easily understandable. From EOS I am clear the free transactions, but the rest I am not sure to fully understand, and how many of these functionalities would be used by 75% of investors.
It is possible, I do not doubt, that EOS is a magnificent platform, but that will not be enough to succeed if we do not perceive its advantages in a way as clear and honest as those of Bitshares.
