Topic: The real death of Bitcoin... - page 3. (Read 3373 times)

Has grown fast in a short time? The rapidly increased price of Ethereum is just a classic example of a pump & dump.

Look at what is left from the price after a period of six months. At least 50% lower.

Again with the death of bitcoin? When will these psychological strategies end?

Its a nice topic the real death of bitcoin but I think its promoting Ethereum in other way, well we will see in the future. Bitcoin is doing its best.

Do you mean we can use the bitcoin on the Ethereum platform if bitcoin is integrated? Why do we need the Ethereum?

Well said. Personally I can see no valid reason why a person shouldn't drop a few dollars in ETH especially knowing what's happened to the price of BTC all these years. But hey each to their own.

Ethereum is an altcoin and as such should be in the altcoin section. I dont know why this has been posted here other than a shameful attempt at pumping eth. We dont need a replacement for bitcoin, we just need to fix what needs fixed. so many people will lose faith in cryptocurrency as a whole if we all have to jump ship onto a different coin everytime there's a problem.

So you're saying us that we should forget about the decentralisation ? Then start another project and show us what you can do, "Mister the Chief" .

Can't we have both? Bitcoin for me never was a payment system and it clearly failed as that or it's failing if that was the intention. But as storage of wealth and commodity it has proven its value time and time again. It works and it's safe if you understand how it works (it's not that easy for a common person though). Hearn statement had many good points like it or not and we can start to see just how much the market is manipulated.

Now Ethereum is another monster, it's actually starting to get a lot of traction, with a potential so huge that puts other "altcoins" to complete shame because we all know we don't really need them. I think one of the biggest assets of Ethereum is that it is corporate friendly. I'm not talking about just its tech, but its name and image. Bitcoin will never go corporate or mainstream because it's tainted with so many scandals and black market activity, it's sad but true.

Ethereum on the other hand doesn't need to compete with Bitcoin in that way, and if more dapps are developed and companies start to adopt it, it's a matter of time that you can buy Ethereum with fiat and then the game is over...so I think it's wise to not miss this train if you see some potential, you don't need to put all your BTC on it, not even half, just what you can afford. Opportunities like this don't happen every day and the mainstream still didn't catch this but soon they will.

Honestly this post belongs more to the altcoin section than bitcoin discussion.
Ethereum project is interesting. They have really smart people on the team, but they have no clear goal and purpose it seems.
What they are doing looks more like a research project of some university than an serious attempt to actually solve a real consumer problems.

And the major thing is - Ethereum ideas are overthinked, solutions too complicated.  

Uow, this is a very nice topic. Just read the full thread and I think this current thread is just another attempt to disseminate wrong information.

Or at least an attempt to pump ETH.

here is btc's problem    a hefty fee of .0013  and this has been skipped by the last 9 blocks made

Yes i hope ETH can replace bitcoin for for long time. Because i don't have enough money to buy 14,7 BTC. I have bought 14,7 ETH 

well if it will happen i will wait before to convert to ethereum.. honestly i bought some ethereum because of fast increase value of ethereum..
But i still believe in bitcoin.. And it will never die..

If bitcoin really dead soon and Ethereum will be the next bitcoin and the price of ethereum will same as bitcoin, i'm okay with that. So it's like only the name changed from bitcoin into ethereum.

Social engineering definitely plays a role, especially in what concerns BTC markets. Social engineers make the waves and markets follow, out of fear or manipulation.


Not bullshit. Some people are actively trying to hinder Bitcoin. It is noticeable in this forum and in mainstream media. Also sometimes on cryptocurrency media...

Bitcoin is indeed alive and ETH is not competition: people are simply using ETH to bash at Bitcoin...


Quoted for truth... And yeah, what an interesting coincidence.

It looks like the ETH bagholders are starting to get really nervous at the fact that consensus has been reached and thinks are looking better than ever for the future. Pretty sad to see them using the Classic FUD by Brian Armstrong, Gavin and the rest of clowns.
You can still sell your altcoin and get on the winning team before the halving when it will be too late. Good luck.

I don't understand all the anger some posters emit just to get their point across. Nothing wrong with a healthy competition between Bitcoin and Ethereum, nor having a foot in both camps.

A typical example of a ETH pump post.  .... I do not even see ETH in the same sphere as Bitcoin, they should concentrate on smart contracts and dominate that aspect of the

tech and they will be successful. The consensus experiment is doing fine, there are active participation and debate and it's healthy for this kind of experiment. You should move

this thread to the Alt coin section, this section is not meant for Alt coin pumping. 

Yes you cant just rule out bitcoin. Bitcoin is the not controlled by any body and ETH is just oppsite to it.
So we cant realyy  compare them now

yeah mega intelligent pump all your cash into a centralised POS LOL no thanks
