EOS is a very centralized platform with only 21 consensus nodes. They tried to find a way between scalability and not being centralized and they settled for 21 consensus nodes that can be voted for by the community. This is their maximum compromise, but very, very far away from a decentralized system. That’s why EOS does not have a future as a decentralized platform.
EOS has seen some of the largest gains during 2017 and 2018, but past rarely if ever predicts future in the cryptocurrency or traditional markets.
EOS’s blockchain has great aspirations and it certainly has a lot of potential, but it is important to keep in mind that its blockchain governance model is experimental and still in the infancy stages of development.
EOS could be a great investment for those looking to add higher risk and reward assets to their portfolios, while those looking for safer bets might have greater success elsewhere.
The success of EOS as a blockchain and its worth as a cryptocurrency will depend on the success and quality of the dApps built on it as well as the team’s ability to remain transparent and listen to the community’s wants and needs.
Overall it will depend on the success of the project and mass adoption of EOS . that's why some analysts are saying it is rather good for short term investment.
