<center><h2>What's the difference between EOS and ETHEREUM?</h2></center>

Go on coinmarketcap.com and you'll see a couple things:

First is that Ethereum is in 3rd, has a HUGE market cap of 108 billion, and is clustered up with Bitcoin Cash, the original Bitcoin, and some other big projects like Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA). All of them have a market cap of at least 20 billion dollars.

Second is that if you scroll down to 12th place, you find EOS with "only" 7 billion dollars. 

<center><h3>What's the difference in programming for it?</h3></center>
<b>EOS</b> uses the C++ programming language, which is harder to learn BUT has the advantage of being able to do more than Solidity and being easier to audit so you know how it'll run once the dAPP is launched. 

<b>ETHEREUM</b> uses the Solidity programming language, which is similar to javascript and easier to get into for the millions of people who know a bit of web development, but also easier to make programming mistakes on, which could cost users money. 

<center><h4>Once launched, a dAPP is hard to patch so there are major advantages to a programming language that is </h4></center>

<center><h3>What's the difference in blockchain structure?</h3></center>
<b>EOS</b> uses dPOS (delegated proof of stake) which is slightly more centralized and arguably less secure than Proof of Work <b>BUT</b> has the advantage of being able to process many more transactions per second. 

<b>ETHEREUM</b> uses POW (Proof of Work) which is super, super secure but can only process up to about 10 transactions per second. 

* Ethereum plans to use sharding in the future, which is an advanced way to break up the blockchain and enable more transactions by burdening processors with less demands. This is still under development however.
* Ethereum might switch to PoS in the future. 

<center><h3>Which Coin Can Make Me More Money?!?</h3></center>

Ah. The billion satoshi question! ;) 

* <b>I</b>f Ethereum fails to surpass Bitcoin's marketcap as per historical norms, then it could only <b>double</b> in marketcap and roughly per-coin value before running up against bitcoin whereas... 
* <b>Eos</b> has a marketcap of only 7 billion dollars, which is less than a tenth of Ethereum, so if it <i>really</i> takes off then it could go up <b>TWENTY TIMES</b> in value!

<center><h2>This of course assumes that Bitcoin's market cap stays stagnant, Ethereum doesn't surpass bitcoin, and EOS takes off</h2></center>

Other scenarios include bitcoin rising and pulling the entire market up along with it, in which case EOS and Ethereum will both go up in value, the "Flippening" finally going down where Ethereum's market cap surpasses that of Bitcoin and leaving EOS users in the dust, and the very unlikely (I think basically impossible) scenario of EOS going up roughly 35x in value to overshoot Bitcoin.

<center>In general though, I would argue that given current market trends, <b>EOS has more room to grow.</b></center> <center><h3>So which is better?!?</h3></center>

That depends entirely on how much you want security against attackers vs security in programming, how fast of a network you'll need to run your dAPP, whether you think Ethereum will roll out sharding in a reasonable time and whether you think EOS is going to deliver on its promises and select good delegates as well as whether you're in it to invest in the possible growth in future monetary value or the usefulness of it as a network!

Ivan on Tech goes very deep into this in a video of his, so I'll drop a link to his video below:
