SwingingShipson Scaling: Ethereum’s make or break challenge [video]

Ethereum is talking about 2020 as its target for scaling upgrades. There are other projects that haven't launched yet that probably have an advantage over them, as so long as it can integrate with Ethereum rather than claim it can totally supplant it.

There are projects like Cardano and Zilliqa, but then there are some like Orbs that are using blockchain virtualization claiming it can work in tandem with Ethereum.

I assume Ethereum will implement some of its solutions before that 2020 date, but they will probably need to rely on more partnerships to do it.
