I disagree about the genuine push for better. This is a money grab. This was born from the greed following the mastercoin ipo. The nxt ipo. The bitshares ipo. The counterparty ipo and the supernet ipo.
People like fucking money. Like to speculate and gamble.
But above all people like shiny objects. Vitalik made etherium seem really shiny, plus daddy is rich.
Crazy all these eth topics. Don't agree here: I think ether is a genuine push for something new and better but it can easily coexist with bitcoin, much like all the other coins do. People will have their favorites but neither btc nor eth is going anywhere.
What the fucks his dad got to do with anything? Honestly some people are seriously screwed with jealously.
Jealousy towards people buying a coin with zero intrinsic value and getting lucky. Similarly to Ripple, ETH is inherently valueless because there is no limit on the supply and a corporation owns it.
Greed is the reason people are buying into this and not just buying Bitcoin. They missed the first rally up on Bitcoin (even though there is plenty of growth left) and want to repeat that here. Only they'll end up having nothing and hating themselves while Bitcoin pulls away further. Don't be that chump and just hold Bitcoin.
>Jealousy towards people buying a coin with zero intrinsic value and getting lucky
And how! I mean, ETH is up like what, 1,400%
over a couple of months?
>Greed is the reason people are buying into this
You mean people invest to make money? Not to
lose money?
Hmm... Now that you put it that way, I guess BTC wasn't such a hot investment after all
