There is a big intrinsic incentive problem with Ethereum as a “distributed computing platform” (or any BC coin that does ICO prior to utilitarian adoption). Unless there are big players adopting smart contracts soon - there is no demand for ETH core offer of message based cumulative computing (GitHub is a better current solution). And no big player will join ETH unless there are market/court enforcement of contracts. Also, why use a toy version when they can fork their own?
Speculation is a better short term strategy to make any money from it, and that is what will destroy it in long term. Others like Qtum are smarter and concentrating on utility of it first and not going ICO. But than again, AWS can obliterate them in days by rebasing their IAM user system on a BC algo.
All it is a “Pascal scam” like many others
