Yeah, as I understand it, EOS sits on top of Etherium. so if Etherium where to die off due to lack of bandwidth, EOS would crash along with it. That is what is holding me back, however I am still trying to get a Kracken account going to at least buy up a few hundred bucks of it and see what happens.
