I agree that BTC has vast network effects and significant extendability to cover many more use cases but the fact is that there will be a thriving ecosystem of non-BTC cryptos providing specialised utility such as ethereum, lisk and arguably z-cash down the road
I wish there were more reasonable responses on this forum like yours.
What you mean is more effective scamming you can get on-board with.
And the guy was not new to posting that clich'ed Altcoin scene retort in defense of shit coin schemes.
You praised him & jumped on board because he was smarter than you and thought of posting it.
Still a retort fail none the less though..
At the core we have always and always will have greedy schemers..
These block-chain based schemes were born out of the lack of interest in cloning.
Their hand was forced and they had to get creative & fast with their schemes !
You can spot the signs of a project that really has no real reason to exist.
Does it consist of a gimmick with a digital token tacked on ?
Is it launched as an ICO ?
Does it's "token" end up being traded in exchange for Bitcoin on centralized exchanges
..by the usual suspects ?
Not much ever changes except the gimmick or base feature scheme varies.
Other than that it's the same old same old.. endlessly.
Provides a need ?
Did you not just read what i said ?
If i track one of you shooting your mouth off i will see in a year or two
you will have been long gone & dumped and moved onto the next scheme (for profit)
And the excuses why you gave for the last scheme remain the same..
2014 - The Ethereum ICO was launched..
ICO coins were put out and they were bought up by a secret rich group.
Why ?
It served what need now ? (why would millions be spent on vaporware code in secret)
..we know WHY in 2016 NOW.
Look mouthy scammer profiteers it served no need in 2015 NEVER MIND IN 2014 at launch
and it serves no need now either.. who is using and it and for what ?
Nobody for nothing.. aside from the 90% of users trading them for profit on Poloniex etc.
LIKE ALL THE OTHER SHIT "Coins" ..so cut the crap and bullshit dick holster jiggling.
It had a glorious hype and marketing push (spamming galore)
Then it had it's grand P&D and the leader dumped for a fortune and that is it.
Nothing more to say really..
ETH was launched as a massive cash grab then nothing was ever accomplished but a multi-million P&D
And unless there is substantial real world (non crypto nerd) ADOPTION.
Then the exceptions to the rules of "use" count for squat.
You guys find 1 guy who made 1 DAPP then say ohhhhh loook !
The world is using it.. it's legit now !!!!
Then 99.99% of you all trade and P&D the scam coins on Poloniex for profit
..then move to the next one later
..then make stupid dumb fuck excuses for that one too.
It's really the same thing playing out time after time.. look at URO or BlockNET
So yeah i am glad he said that comment too.. it allows me to add to my list of who to keep an eye on.My scam supporter shit list.. line up if you want to be on it ICO shit coin scammer Ponzi aficianado's.
EDIT: Spelling.
