The CEO of Ethereum left Ethereum and joined Lisk. They have partnered with Microsoft Azure.
Lisk is a decentralized network such as Bitcoin, Nxt, or BitShares. It doesn’t utilize Proof of Work like Bitcoin, or Proof of Stake like Nxt. Lisk uses a simplified implementation of BitShares’ original consensus algorithm called Delegated Proof of Stake. That means every LSK holder can vote for mainchain delegates which are securing the network. There are only a maximum of 101 active mainchain delegates which always got the most votes on the whole network, and only they can earn block generation rewards, that means there is a financial incentive to become an active delegate. Every other delegate is on standby awaiting to become elected, or alternatively, securing a Lisk sidechain.
Lisk is a cryptocurrency and its token is called LSK. To send LSK from one account to another takes 10 seconds, after about 1–2 minutes the transaction can be deemed immutable.
The Lisk App SDK is a framework to deploy your own sidechains and develop blockchain applications on top of them. Everything is written in JavaScript. That means you can develop platform independent social networks, messengers, games, financial applications, prediction markets, exchanges, storage platforms, contract execution platforms, sharing economies, online shops, IoT applications, and much more on your own blockchain, fully decentralized, and without the hassle of complicated consensus protocols or P2P networking algorithms.
lisk is ethereum 2.0 and bitcoin 3.0

How many developers does it have? What's that? 0.0000000000000001% of what ETH has? Oh, haha, well hey...you might get there some day! Good luck! Haha.

Yes, I agree with you. Lisk is a good investment.
And about the voting.
There are "Profit Sharing Delegates"
>Delegaes that get enought votes to get approved will pay rewards (money/LSK) to everyone that voted for them.
And Voting costs you basically nothing (There is a transaction fee of 1 LSK which lets you vote for up to 33 people)
Here is an example of a Profit sharing delegate:

So this Delegated Proof of Stake system also benefits regular LSK holders like you and me :)
>people actually spend money on this shit

"spend" is not the right word. They "invest"
