Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are tangled in the debate today because companies and individuals are looking for other sources of transactions beyond the ordinary paper currency.

Ethereum, Blockchain technology, based on an application platform, is becoming increasingly popular with both developers and individuals. The platform is especially used with the boom of ICO coins.

Vitalic Buterin, speaking at TechCrunch Breakout 2017, said the platform has the ability to change much of what is known about data and security. His comments contained a strong indication that Ethereum will have a transactional power to equalize Visa over the next two years.
Butterin said:

>Bitcoin processes less than three transactions per second. Ethereum makes five transactions per second. It will take several years until Blockchain has replaced Visa. "

### Gaming platforms

Ethereum's inventor also pointed out that Blockchain technology is likely to provide a platform for games and other applications requiring intensive data usage in the future where security is an important aspect.

"You can start StarCraft in Blockchain. The high level of security and scalability allow all these things to reach the top. Ethereum is a protected base layer that does not have many features. "
