By April chances are Bitcoin will be the #2 Cryptocurrency. When people figure out the lightning network works like a centralized exchange that has low security and no insurance, you may lose a lot. BTC died when Gavin left, maybe even when Satoshi left. Either way, it is ruled by greed and incompetence and is quickly becoming obsolete.
Are you sure that the Bitcoin will be crypto #2, I think it will never happen. When price of bitcoin goes down, other currencies follow, and their price is linked to the bitcoin price.
It's true that they move the way the tide moves with the moon. But if you examine the trend, Ethereum gained 10x more than BTC last year. Ethereum has a development roadmap, a solid core team. Ethereum has secondary and third use cases, they donated 2 million to study blockchain efficiency and are responsible for about 55% of all crypto transactions. So even though Eth goes down with BTC, its gains on average are roughly 10X BTC. Eth is the true leader of the community and is under-valued.
Ethereum was hacked and hardforked once and then some idiot developer lost hundred of millions worth more in a multisig coding error, with some calling for a second hard fork to “fix” it. That’s some solid blockchain development and efficiency there. Is that $2 million they donated to prevent future fubars?
You are correct in that the Ethereum network is fantastic at facilitating untold numbers of CryptoKitties transactions. World’s most advanced smart contract platform for purchasing, wait, what? Glorified gifs?
Oh and the lead developer Vitalik defends pedophilia and child porn. And he’s buddy buddy with Putin. Totally legit personas there. Community leaders.
You can’t make this stuff up.
By the way, this is the Bitcoin forum. Alts have their own speculation forum. OP wasn’t asking for alt advice he was speculating on Bitcoin timing.
