The average user does not, or should not, care about such things. Dan is creating something great for large-scale applications .. woo .. that's great! Normal people, or the masses rather .. do not care at all about storage requirements and faster than light transaction speeds .. or whatever the hell they are touting now .. the fact is, very few people will actually 'use EOS', which means one billion tokens, the actual use of which is still far from clear, is too bloody many. EtherParty will also have 1 billion tokens, or a % of that in circulation, and it is absolutely meant to be used by 'the masses'.
EOS is quite simply put .. overkill .. hopefully it can be used to help scale STEEM/STEEMIT, but Ethereum will have its own solutions for speed, transaction costs, and better governance - I do not know about you, but I am tired of a handful of 'witnesses', ie. Bitshares, STEEM, and soon EOS, controlling the fate of anything.
