Review on Qtum by Some Stranger

They have an advanced working product and a very good chance at becoming one of the most widely adopted "ETH 2.0" blockchains (since they have a time advantage over others like ZIL and ADA which are months or years from being fully featured). Great usability, security, speed, decentralization, and developer marketshare (due to EVM compatibility).

Pros
- Strong team and one of the largest in crypto (more than 20). High tx throughput ~70 tx/s on chain, and compatible with both Raiden and Lightning state channels. Highly decentralized with over 1000 full nodes. Proof of stake v3 with plans to move to a more secure protocol that solves the theoretical PoS vulnerabilities like nothing-at-stake. Strong presence in Asia with many QTUM trading pairs and partnerships with Chinese companies such as 360. Compatible with EVM but also developing their own x86 VM to allow multiple programming languages similar to NEO.
Cons
- Lacks Western marketing presence / community. No way to buy with USD other than Bitfinex (and accompanying tether issues)
