QTUM could be explained as a hybrid protocol between Bitcoin blockchain and Ethereum virtual machines. In other words, QTUM is a better bitcoin protocol supporting ETH smart contract. It benefits from upgrades to both Ethereum and Bitcoin in the long run. One of the recent developments in Bitcoin which might really boost QTUM is Lightning Network. Backed by well-known VC and investors, for example, Bo Shen (Fenbushi Capital) and love-him-or-hate-him Roger Ver (Bitcoin investor) and technology bigwigs such asAnthony Di Iorio (Ethereum co-founder, Chen Weixing founder of Uber’s competitor Didi Chuxing)



Pros
  • 1. EVM (Ethereum Virtual machines) makes a coding smart contracts becoming more easily 2. POS 3.0 3. More scalable blockchain comparing to ETH blockchain (UTXO makes quicker verification) 4. Backed by well-known VC funds and investors
Cons
  • 1. Co-founder Patrick Dai is accused of defrauding 200 BTC. 2. The UTXO model is not easy to use with smart contracts and puts limitations which is why Ethereum decided against using it 3. Direct competitors are huge crypto projects, such as NEO or ETH
