Scaling up cryptocurrency is/was also one of the main obstacles cited for bitcoin and why it may lose out to other cryptos. Certainly, the ability to scale up to facilitate trillions of dollars of economic transactions is a crucial question to ask about any and all cryptos that exist right now in 2018. I think in both bitcoin’s and Ethereum’s cases that there are so many hundreds of millions and/or billions of dollars being invested in getting them to scale and work at scale that solutions for their scaling issues might be found. Trying to find the winners in the current batch of existing cryptos is like finding a dandelion at Augusta. They exist and they do bloom, but most will get killed long before they ever get a chance to grow.
