Uncensored discussion forum for all cryptos.

TODAY,

Ethereum has processed 50% more transactions than Bitcoin.

Ethereum currently has only a handful of pending transactions while Bitcoin has tens of thousands still unprocessed.

To issue a transaction,
Ethereum costs fractions of a cent $.00X and does it in less than 20 seconds.
Bitcoin can take over ten minutes and cost several dollars.

Consider these facts how you will.

Bitcoin is like gold.. slow and will never really be used for anything serious except "storing value". Bitcoin will never be a real currency, but still - everyone should own at least a little.

With that said, you should own even MORE Ether,
I'm afraid too many people are all-in on only BTC and that is just dangerous. I do my best to diversify with about 50% in etg, 25% in btc, and 25% in other alts like OMG/GNT/EVX/ZRX/BMC ++

Hah, I agree completely with almost everything you said - however, a bit portion of bitcoins community is aware of the problems of bitcoin and are doing their best to fix these issues. This is the whole point of these hardforks - teams trying to implement better ways to make things faster, more secure, and cheaper - and part of the community disagreeing. Then they hardfork.

I think it's too early to completely rule out bitcoin as a currency - it very well could be useful for large transactions like car purchases or real estate.

On the other hand, for buying a coke or slice of pizza, there are now and will be better options. TenX is a great idea, as is Ripple. I'm personally a big fan of Monero - privacy is a great thing, even if you're not hiding something. Eventually we will live in a world where corporations will use our purchase data to flash advertisements in our faces everywhere we go - much like Minority Report . some privacy with our purchases could be valuable. Another good privacy coin that shows promise is PIVX.

It's really something that ethereum - which doesn't even aim to be a "currency" per say - is one of the best candidates to actually function as one.

I like the comparison to "digital oil", but it's so much more.. I'm afraid people are limiting its potential when they call it "digital oil"

You make a good point, I think people called it "digital oil" in a positive light, but it's definitely underpromising ethereums potential.

BTW, ETH says on their own site they aren't exactly trying to be a currency - although their ERC20 tokens definitely could be, as they say

Quote:Ethereum would never be possible without bitcoin—both the technology and the currency—and we see ourselves not as a competing currency but as complementary within the digital ecosystem. Ether is to be treated as "crypto-fuel", a token whose purpose is to pay for computation, and is not intended to be used as or considered a currency, asset, share or anything else.
