The same can be said about bitcoin.
This is an outright lie. A single news article briefly goes over (non technological) news:
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/12/bitcoin-price-rises-japan-russia-regulation.htmlExcept ethereum is used on a big scale by corporations, institutions, and random users with dapps/ contracts.
1) I've already said that it's used by banks and corporations. Centralized coins is what they need.
2) Dapps have been proven to have no real use-cases so far. They are also a scam because "code is not law". They are centralized with Vitalik being the high-king.
3) Due to the second, almost no rational person would use ETH in their day-to-day trading. If they wanted a short-term faster means of transfer than Bitcoin, then LTC or DASH (even though this is a MLM scam) are their answers.
Lauda is scared because he got late into the btc game and it's future is uncertain.
1) Ad hominem because I destroyed each one of your failed arguments.
2) You have no idea when I got here, and it is most certainly before you even heard the word 'cryptocurrency'.
3) The only uncertainty is how much people are being paid to shill centralized trash like ETH.
If altcoin would suddenly dissapear, then bitcoin would be the only choice so even if it's unusable people would still use it.
BTC as a store of wealth, LTC as a means of faster payment, and XMR for anonymity. The rest are useless so far.
