Guys, please don't use such language. We're not here to kill anyone.
The tools we're working on are at the cutting edge of not just technology, but of thinking and conceptualization. It's not even fully clear yet how these things should work, let alone how to code them. We're going to need every eyeball willing and able to help with this and create large collaborations in order to get this right. Adopting destructive competition language isn't going to get us anywhere.
We will be fortunate to enjoy success even to the degree Ethereum has. If we can create something more useful, that's great. If we can combine forces to benefit this space beyond that, that's even better.
I would not want anyone to be turned away because our community (or press) adopts a "only Synereo can win!!" mindset and attitude. It's not respectful to those who came before us and had wholesome intentions, it's not respectful to their supporters, it's not respectful to our overlapping communities, and it ignores what the Synereo team has learned from these and other projects and people.
Cheers
Great post ... I see "hate" on the ether and btw subs , it's really not needed and I posted the below in the ethtrader sub yesterday. Whether certain blockchains are competition or not , at least in the crypto sphere we should see that as healthy competition.
"Many of us here think Bitcoin is the enemy , it is not , we need to see it succeed , we need it to be part of an ETF , we need it to go to the moon. We need to show the world bitcoin and a host of other blockchains can be created by a group of people that get together and show an alternative to the world. The other alternative is HL and other multi billion dollar corporations taking over and doing as they have always done , in collusion with banks keep the profits for themselves and their cronies. What Bitcoin, Ethereum and XMR are about is opening that up so others can a piece of the pie that they have been excluded from eating. That others that don't have access to bank accounts and loans can also trade and make a living by using a currency such as BTC,ETH etc. wherever they are. Me, I hope BTC, ETH, XMR, SDC , whatever succeed and change an unfair system."
Do we want Synereo to have a 1B$ cap , yes and if Ethereum hits 2 or 3B great !!!
