Fair enough, I didnt invest at the begining too, it was risky.
I invested in october and dollar cost averaging since february.
Test net is up and running. Dapp developers are preparing to launch in sumemr and fall. I hope you accept the chance it will be better than ETH soon after lauch. Better meaning easier to develop on, faster, no fees, more features.
And no, I dont believe any coin not build on ETH is equall to EOS. Nothing is equal to EOS, just Steem is the closest (not multi purpose, no decentralised file storage, no multichain abilities, but Im sure you know the technicals).
My portfolio contains 9 coins. Most of money in 5.
It's probably got another year before it can surpass ETH tech wise. Bitshares which was developed by Dan was supposed to do the same thing. But I can accept it probably can. But ETH can also be upgraded. It's limitation is the programming language. NEO was supposed to solve those same issues. While it did ok it has not really surpassed ETH even though it is working and is better than ETH in similar ways as EOS.
I welcome something new to the table such as EOS, I just feel sorry for all those investors.
I would say there were only 2 quite mainstream dapps developed so far. Let me know if you know some others.
One is cryptokitties.....which halted after 2 weeks because ETH didnt stand a chance to process it and users left.
Second one is Steem, you are using it right now and and its here for 2 years.
Now take the ability to create stuff like Steem easily, quickly, with more features, 0.5 block time and better governanace.
I have ETH, Im quite sure they will upgrade and they might be fast and cheap and just as secure. .....but not this year.
