I&#x27;ve dabbled with the dev tools ethereum provided for a while and I can&#x27;t imagine that the computations ethereum does will ever be fast enough for a general purpose, distributed computation platform. If I had to wager on yet another cryptocurrency™ I&#x27;d bet on Zcash (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zcash&#x2F;zcash" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zcash&#x2F;zcash</a>). They promise a real differentiator for cryptocurrencies with their zero-knowledge proofs.
