People are always comparing bitcoin to eth and everyone has their own opinion towards it. We can't stop them for being discouraged into btc, let them be that way. Exactly, we always read this kind of opinions, many of us still believes in btc.
People compare Bitcoin to anything they hold. If they hold XRP then it's better than Bitcoin. If they hold ETH then it's better than Bitcoin. I have seen the same within stock market forums when I was still trading stocks.
People have an incentive to shill whatever they hold a lot of, which just as easily applies to Bitcoin holders. Bitcoin holders consider every coin that isn't Bitcoin a scam or at the very least a shitcoin. In most cases they are right but not every coin.
I don't consider Ethereum as scam or shitcoin, the same applies to Monero and a couple of other coins. People are free to choose whatever coin they use or invest in. Why should we trash them for doing that?
