Ether's promotion is trash. It's potentially useful for some things, but at this point when you see articles like this treating price as if it's the only factor, we have a problem.

Person 2/3/4/5: "Damn dude, that's some smooth technology. I'd better buy some of that."
Person 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15... "Wow, the price has gone up loads recently! Looks like I can make way more money off of this than Bitcoin! Oh yeah and also, technology..."
