Is this the Ethereum gameplan?

Hypothetical scenario

Right now in the US they are busy struggling with how best to regulate crypto-currencies.

These are the potential conclusions I think they will draw...

1. It is too hard to try to regulate the hundreds of crypto-currencies that are out there.
2. Banking compliance is a serious business and issuing bit-licenses and trying to monitor hundreds of new untrusted exchanges is not feasible.
3. Crypto-currencies have deflationary tendencies which run counter to most existing currencies.

The potential solution...

1. It might be possible to regulate 1 base crypto-currency on which other things can be built.
2. Only large existing retail/investment banks with sufficient experience in banking compliance can be trusted as exchanges.
3. A reasonably inflationary crypto-currency would be ideal.

How does Ethereum stack up?

1. Yes Ethereum could be the base crypto, lots of things can be built on top of it, but link back to it when you need to transfer out to fiat.
2. Large existing banks might already have an interest in Ethereum, there is a very large pre-mine, where is it going?
3. Ethereum is very inflationary.

Result...

'They' will decide Ethereum gives consumers the benefits of crypto-currencies while giving the regulators the ability to regulate it and  ensure there are as few bad actors as possible.

They will make it legal for on-line retailers to accept Ethereum as payment and they will make legal Ethereum to fiat exchanges, administered by large existing banks.
However moving to fiat or making online purchases with any other crypto-currency will be illegal.   

Some investment banks are incredibly powerful and influential with large global footprints, they will be able to help ensure this model is also adopted in many other countries. This could make Ethereum insurmountable

______________________________

This is only a hypothetical, but I came up with it because I thought the pre-mine and inflationary model was unattractive.
There's also not a lot of reason why people wouldn't fork Ethereum and create their own competing models with more attractive parameters. (less inflationary and no pre-mine.)

However Ethereum's inflationary model & large pre-mine (Which goes to?) would be appealing to TPTB.
By influencing regulations and laws in favour of Ethereum they could also ensure no competing models could threaten it.

Using this hypothesis, the way Ethereum is being approached starts to make a lot of sense.

Thoughts?






This is very hypothetical. Cryptocurrencies are a thread for the banking sector and their earning model (fractional banking and interest). You are right that they are very powerful and will influence lawmaking. 'They' will decide on it if it is a benefit for them, not for the consumer. So in my opinion cryptocurrencies have a long way to go. But i believe that the governments that embrace new technology will win and governments that make beneficial new technology illegal will lose.

Will there be exchange sites for the testnet?

I do not know for sure, but of course it's very likely, close to certain in fact, that the community will attempt to build decentralized exchanges at the earliest opportunity, including on the testnet.

the name Ethereum makes sense. Comes from latin Aether, Aetherum is just the "plural" of Aether, that means "heaven", "air", "sky", so it means, "many skies"... that's all Ethereum is about, endless possibilities, like many horizons, without a "set in stone" begin and end.
good to know!

well, latin is cool but it's a dead language and typically you only see pharma companies or hedge funds use these type of naming system, coz they want to shut publicity or enhance uniqueness  (like for medicines ) , which i believe it's not what "Ethereum" is about; at the end of the day, etheruem (damn, i couldn't spell it right each time i type it) is a "consumer product", only an "Apple" like name will get you home run, you know what i mean.

Ethrum or Etherum is easier for the masses.

This is an interesting project.
I setup an eth server on a VPS and it is running fine. The windows eth application works well too.

There seems to be a problem with the windows alethzero.exe. When trying to run it, I get an error saying that libwinpthread-1.dll is missing.

Searching google did not show an answer on how to fix it.


A new windows build will be on the code.ethereum.org site tonight 2300 GMT at most. Cheers!
