Not so long ago, both Stellar Lumens and Byteball were around the same place at Coinmarketcap, around #20 based on market cap. I remember this, because both were airdropped and both had my attention.
At the moment, Stellar is #6, while Byteball is #56. Byteball only has about 33% left to distribute, Stellar has about 83% left, and keeps a very large share for it's own foundation. Stellar is centralized, has very low fees, a high cost per wallet and hence no privacy in using different addresses, and yet, it has a much higher market cap.
While Byteball went up 4-fold in the past 3 months (measured in dollars), stellar went up 70-fold. I can only dream of Byteball following this path, it would mean more than a Bitcoin per GBYTE, or as many prefer: more than 0.001BTC per MBYTE.
Stellar always had a higher 24h trading volume than Byteball, it's now 450 times larger. But Stellar is traded al almost all possible exchanges.
That is an interesting comparison. You have forgotten to mention that Stellar does a hell of a marketing, and Byteball does zero marketing. We live in an age where marketing, alas, is one of the most important factors in the success of a project, because it deals with the PERCEPTION that people have of a product, which in the end is what really matters. We need a marketing division for Byteball.
Marketing might result in quick gains, but if a project has substance backing it, the project will eventually be 'discovered'. Bitcoin didn't do any marketing, but its price exploded eventually. Just think of these initial days as an opportunity to accumulate cheap GB. Once the euphoria around all these pumped coins dies down, byteball will also zoom up.
