Topic: Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not. - page 121. (Read 116527 times)

I think the thing going for Ethereum is it's attracting the builders/developers first, which I think is their no. 1 priority.  And Microsoft offering cloud blockchain services is good for infrastructure for the said builders.  It would make it easier for them to start creating stuff on Ethereum.

But Ethereum's longterm success remains to be seen.  But honestly I like what they're up to and I'm pretty excited on what people can build on it.  This one caught my eye http://www.slock.it.  Check it out.

All Microsoft did was say hey we will let you install your ETH shit on our cloud services.
Whether someone does that and it ends up linked to the coins on your local exchange is another matter..
(or one day even doing something even vaguely useful remains to be seen)

IBM supposedly did some private testing on their internal networks..
In the end i heard that they went with some private code implementation.
I had said when i heard about that.. well is IBM's code they run connected to the coins on Poloniex etc ?
i was told no.
It is not... they did an internal test that was not connected.
Get it ?

If companies out there toy around with crypto tech privately and internally it will not have any bearing on publicly held ETH coins.

The guys pushing News like this are putting a deceitful spin on things and they know what i said but are avoiding saying it.

It's a publicity stunt.

Saying Microsoft an obvious super legend of Epic proportions is supporting, backing or even using Etherium is complete bullshit !
They were contacted and asked.. can we put our ETH shit on the Azure hosting services..
Microsoft replied back.. yeah fuck what ever.. put any damn shit you want on there we don't give a fuck just pay your bill LOL

Hey i got a great idea.. a premined shit coin closed source with kick backs for it's team of CEO's
that can be hooked into or used on companies with NSA ties.. hey fuck decentralization and privacy.
What we really need is coin code hosted on Azure  

I like that they have a scripting language for contracts that is basically js. I think if the javascript community becomes hip to ethereum, they'll start integrating it with everything whether it makes sense to or not. That alone would cause a massive price increase.

Long term it's up to the devs to really come up with good tech before the bitcoin devs too. I think smart contracts are a sort of dystopian nightmare tbh, but given the current political/corporate/cyberpunkesque landscape of today, it seems likely to become popular.

I have heard many altcoins working directly or indirectly with Microsoft.Many of these attempts are just hype and will fail once people are tired of this.
Now whales are using the Microsoft news to pump and dump the coin.

WHY ?

"Microsoft Azure implementation"

bullshit so is the IBM crap too..

Quit being scammy retards please..
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/cbernier/2013/10/08/windows-azure-a-simple-walk-through-of-options/

All Azure is.. is a Cloud system server hosting Platform.
Bragging you can put ETH on there is fucking retarded.
And idiots in crypto have been parading this bullshit around like Microsoft has some backing behind ETH.
When in reality all it means is Microsoft simply decided to permit / allow the Shit on their cloud server platform service.
In other words.. you can rent a server and do what YOU want with it.

Same with the IBM nonsense.. it's just more bullshit spewed by idiots who are being extremely deceitful about it all.
Most of the time these scammy antics are being spouted off at Poloniex chat to pump up the price.
And anything that has users will be "targeted" by market manipulators.

How much did those ETH CEO's get as a bonus ?

Im with Etherum since begining ,
I really belive that this coin can skip Bitcoin and be nr 1 in Crypto World.

Not true
Bitcoin is money, Eth is not focused on money. So you need money in any case, that's why Bitcoin will still be there.

The low price of Ethereum is that it has too much premine and ICO. The development is still active.

Ethereum was not able to live up to all the hype that was surrounding it
the lack of real developments is reflected on its price now
In terms of adoption you are right, Doge is way more popular but ETH has more speculation going on and more serious companies looking to adopt it

Ethereum does have more innovations than 99% of the altcoins out there and Microsoft Azure implementation might give it a big push forward, though I wouldn't hold my breath for that

BTC will the number 1 for the forseeable future and if ethereum expects to gain the traction it wants, it will have to incorporate BTC as the payment coin and use ETH just as blockchain transaction gas

Any altcoin that is purely trying to replace BTC as the world's cryptocurrency of choice is bound to fail

Etherum is my favourite coin.
Im since beginning with this project, Bought on presale and going keep my coins longterm

Bitcoin is Nr.1 crypto in the world, Ethereum is the altcoin, which do not have enough popularity - just check the altcoin using websites. Even Doge is much more popular 

wasn't etheruem going to implement bitcoin in their freenet technology anyway? you can use bitcoin side by side with their coins in their decentralized system

might be, might be. ethereum is quite popular, so watch out for p&ds

Bitcoin is the coin with network. Ethereum is the network with a coin. You can do smart contracts in Ethereum.

Interesting. Lots of stuff going on. In theory what will this do to the size of the ether blockchain

They have a few wallets and some dapps:

Ethereum is just another pump & dump coin. Bitcoin is not.
Stop praising shitcoins fake bloggers.

does anyone know what ethereum has built out so far?

their reddit seems very active compared to many other altcoin reddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum

etherum most hyped since bitcoin. So etherum is the next step in the war of currencies episode 7 the free banking strikes back
