Well you can't deny ETH has done insanely well, but now that everyone knows about it, the price seems to have flatlined. For now. But I consider bitcoin to be digital gold, not ethereum.
I'd say because they were preaching to the choir.
Everyone here just wanted another IPO coin to rally behind to group pump to profit from.
Then ETH came along fulfilling this need.
The ETH guys got lucky waiting since 2014 until now to push a huge spam / hype campaign.
They kept testing the waters here for ages with random topics asking us what we thought of it.
The just waited until people were desperate for Lambo's and tired of all these shit coins dropping in price.
Problem is a big ETH pump & dump does nothing to solve the decline of Altcoins.
If anything it damaged it more and defiantly did nothing what so ever to help get public adoption.
Which is why the price flat-lined.
EARTH see's this ETH stuff and says.. uhhh i don't fucking think so, then laughs and wanders off.
Argue all you want but Humans speak loud & clear .. with their wallets.
Silly humans the 'alternate' superior race has come here to acquire your BTC's.
Ya blame the Chinese for hogging all them mined Bitcorn's.. Bullshit!
