It seems like all of Greg sentences was becoming a real statement.
Too many forks in his chain have made the people was feeling doubt about the future of eth. just a little gap until the next fork was coming, ETH has broken.
I'm already retiring from there.

Yeah I always trusted Greg Maxwell's take on the cryptos he talked about, it seems he may be right about ETH.. its too ambitious at a core level, it's just too dangerous to make a turing complete coin, because of all the unknowns that it may trigger ending up in a mess.

Bitcoin is way better, it isolates the core as a simpler and therefore more robust software, then build complex stuff around it (sidechains etc)

"I think a lot of people buying into it have been materially mislead.  For example the 'prospectus' they sent out made it look like the supply of coins was finite instead of endlessly inflating.  Without that knowledge the argument "oh, well eventually they'll fix the bugs and it'll be valuable then" makes more sense.

Similarly, it was promoted as a "world computer" which will replace all the major online services like facebook, uber, etc... even though that makes basically no sense from the perspective of what the technology could actually do even if it were bug free."  - Greg Maxwell

Stop being duped. People are finally opening their eyes and Ethereum is dying.
