eBTC: Finally comes the new kid and says: Grandpas, there is a much simpler way to do all of what you are talking about. I wrote it with my thumbs. You are all old men stuck in old times.
LOL. This must be a joke. Whoever think ebtc is an alternative to original Bitcoin is nuts.
It is clear that the EBTC can not be an alternative to the BTC and can not cost 7,000 dollars. But it can be successful in itself, if the developers and the community will work well. If it costs at least $ 5 it will be a success.
Maybe ebtc can have a certain success in its, very small, niche. I cannot argue that, only time will tell.
But, only a scammer or total idiot could argue that EBTC token can replace or be better than the original BTC cryptocurrency. What is the purpose of such claims? To lure more naive newbies in buying worthless tokens? By that logic the same can be said for any other token on Ethereum protocol. Why is EBTC2 better than, say, ELTC (ELTC2) or ECASH (ECAHS2) or dozens of other copycat tokens that have appeared recently? By the same logic, isn't Ether itself better and simpler than EBTC?
It's a provocation for the bitcoin community. Let's not forget we're on
bitcointalk forum.
I agree with your arguments - but first, this forum is not only for bitcoins and I think, this ist not a provocation for the bitcoin community, because there are plenty of altcoins, which promise to have the same usecase as bitcoin has.
The idea of eBTC is quite simple and genious at all - but it was developped and managed by most dilletantic people. Even if the team behind eBTC changed (you never can be sure, that there are not still the same people acting there) they are still unprofessional and stupidly working in background and they are now more busy in reacting and discrediting people who are asking unpleasant things.
Although I have been banned from their telegram channel, because I proofed, that one of the "Devs" dumped the coin, by selling thousands of them, I'm still holding some #k of the coins, because I believe, that the idea and the spirit of it could provide a great benefit - if it would be managed in a professional way.
Furhter, the greatest mistake of the eBTC "Dev" was the "inadvertently" scammy code in the first contract and also not to be aware, that there will be lots of copycats to the idea in no time, because it is so easy to argue on a any ETH-token the same things like satoshi21 did. So if he had made a proper contract, a professional way to promote the advantages of the coin and didn't vanish after the first dump, this coin would be far away from all the copycats which appeared in numbers after.
Now, we will see if this coin is ably to survive.
