Allowing ASICs to exist was the first big mistake.
Monero team gained a huge trust bonus when they cut out the ASICs.
I don't know how many ETH users are mainers, but for sure every ETH miner is
a potential ETH user and HODLer/trader.
people
please
understand once that daggerhashimoto ASIC does not exist
if you are assuming that the bitmains product, the ANTMINER E3, is an ASIC machine you are wrong
there is no asic borad inside, is made combining similar GPU boards like INNO3D-P106-090
Cause, this machine does not give you more than 190 Mh/s, so likely a regular DIY rig
ASICS normally gives you more than 10 times more hashing power on the same algo compared to the GPU hashing speed
ETH & its DAG file and all daggerhashimoto coins, until now, are completely ASIC resistant
