See BTC, this is how you do it. There is a problem (huge energy waste by miners) you fix it. There is another problem, (max. 7 tx per second) you create a new coin. ETH is for the win! For Bitcoin fans, the bullshit time is over. You either choose technological improvement, or acknowledge that you are just pushing a ponzi and you are in it for the profits. No other choice... I hate CW, but even his fork is a large improvement on Bitcoin and can't handle large txs much better. And don't even start with the LN...
Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking like this. The fact that I understand your abbreviations, puts me "Lightning" years ahead of everyone else and proves you're "Wright." "prolly nothing." LOL!
So did many pikers in the late 90s who thought Internet stocks would shoot for the moon within their lifetime. Wonder where they are now. Go figure.
Forcing two choices does not make it so. People hold bitcoin for the same reason they hold gold. It has proven itself over a longer period of time. Value doesn't always come down to technology. The world will move forward with both BTC and ETH but each for different reasons.
It's ok to have a different opinion, but at least educate yourself on why proof of work is important. This bullshit post is just so sad to read when it's obvious you're not trying.
Well, then educate us on why it's important as a TECHNOLOGY, and not just a medium for speculators. As far as I can tell, people say it's all about technology but their greed tells me otherwise.
