I also wonder why none of the coders working on eth have come to this board to discuss with you the issues that you have mentioned regarding their design?
Maybe because it would mess up their
alleged scam model The thing that I would have like to have known in simple terms is - is it a problem they can disguise from most for long enough to drive the price up near BTC levels before it is discovered or is it an issue that will become very clear to everyone long before that is possible?
I think
perhaps the question should be for how long can promoters prevent a small % of the coming bag holders from running to the door.
I mean the issue you mentioned with BTC
You mean when I posted near the top price for
BTC in 2013 that the block chain scaling
Tragedy of the Commons would be the defining issue for Bitcoin.
I don't know how much higher the ETH price can go. Because I don't know how many and what genre of speculators hold it and whether they want to sell for short-term profits or hold long-term.
I don't know to what degree that hiding the truth about Ethereum's technology has impacted that equation.
Not all coders are capable of probably creating something perfect first time so it can be experimental for them to solve issues as they arise.
Yet
promoters claim lead developer Vitalik and endorser Nick
"Satoshi" Szabo are crypto gods.
I understand with etherium being touted as a work of genius and everyone saying it is a perfect bitcoin killer it would be nice it that was true (not for me because i still have more btc than eth in a big way) and not just non techs getting kind of played along even if the devs know there is a major issue.
Yup the promoters inducing you buy ETH in fear of missing a train.
Myself and r0ach are apparently saying that train has no tracks.
Note it is possible that somehow Ethereum can keep the technological truths obscured in technobabble. Unfortunately apparently
smooth and the Monero folks didn't understand all scaling issues exhaustively, so they are unable to do their usual dissection of altcoins in the case of Ethereum.
So yes, i can only imagine there is some problem with etherium if nobody is able to refute this clearly even though they have had plenty of time. But how big is this issue to end users and those that don't understand this tech 100%. Also if this problem will become apparent to all users and grossly effect their usage of etherium what is the time frame. Is it like BTC will take a few years or will it be much more quickly?
On the other hand it would be good if VB or another top dev on etherium could come here and discuss this issue an d see if you guys can talk it through and see what if anything could be done or not done. If nothing can be done with changes to the current design then the price is going in the wrong direction possibly.
I don't know for sure. But the level of hype suggests to me that Humpty Dumpty will take a great fall soon enough.
