what's the highest this ETH has been @?

ETH is worth waaaay less tho so obviously it dosen't have to increase as much in price in order for it to be doing "better" than BTC. I mean I only heard about this ETH today here but how long has it even been around? Don't get me wrong it does look promising but it could just be increasing from the BTC increase could it not? I'm not as clued up as many on here but that's the way it seems to me.

Well, the entire world economy doesn't need to go Bitcoin. However, if even 1% of the world economy goes Bitcoin, you have an amount equal to a few thousand percent of the current market cap.

The banks don't need to cooperate. I'm talking about when the people choose to use Bitcoin instead of banks so Bitcoin gains some of the market share. I don't when you got here but I've been here for many years since before all these lame 'banking-integration' and 'blockchain' crap started.

I think Bitcoin's one use case as a banking system to take over a $20 trillion+ banking system is far more than enough. The average person isn't going to care about "my money can also be used natively to pay for slow cloud computing services". They just want the most secure banking/payments system, which is Bitcoin.

Only 40% really?? wow I thought it would be way more than that, plus the media has spewed alot of bs demonizing BTC on behalf of the government and central banks etc. to add to that. Anyway you have to respect BTC if you have any respect for crypto currency cos it is and always will be the daddy, so pay homage little pheasant to the daddy of all crypto currencies. Also idc if you can buy drugs over the web, using BTC or not, people will always purchase and abuse drugs, at least this way they can do it safely without having to deal with shady ass street dealers and anonymously cos were not all shameless and think it looks good to be seen buying drugs or some shit.

Ok, since you have it in for bitcoin, Do you like Ethereum or Dogecoin or any alts or anything digital? currency wise?  

Edit: Personally I could really care less lol, I am just killing time waiting for my son to get here with some lime pie, that's what really matters!  

Lime Pie only .004 BTC per slice! will except alt coins of equal value  

You may need to see the doctor for your inability to stay on topic, old cooter....

Lol, reading some of this funny stuff.

Bitcoin is the greatest invention since sliced bread.

Opened up a new world of technology in the blockchain business and so on.... and is better than trading baseball cards.

Ya, so what if some folks have to pay hackers in Bitcoin when they get hit with Crypto Locker or something  always going to be criminal activity with everything that's has a value.

I wonder if I should even respond to your nonsense.....

Yes, it's called fundamentals if you even considered facts beyond mere superficial quibblings around the word itself.  Fundamentals for bitcoin includes permissionless immutable decentralization that has been built upon quite extensively, which is a set of fundamentals that no other coin can meaningfully claim.  Yes, there are some coins that attempt some forms of decentralization and attempt to make meaningful improvements to bitcoin (such as monero and dash), and many claim decentralization in a kind of in-name only way, such as Ethereum, but many, including Ethereum, still do not have a decentralized proof of work infrastructure that secures a public ledger and presets value in such a manner that has been extensively time tested and attacked (like bitcoin has).

Your inability to call bitcoin by it's proper name, here, also goes to show that you are not even attempting to consider actual technical or use case facts.. because your goals appears to be denigrate, distort and make superficial and self-selective assertions.




What is bullshit, is you.  There may be a lot of folks who use bitcoin for legally questionable activities, yet you defy adult logic with your attempt to suggest that merely because there is quite a bit of questionably legal or even illegal activities within bitcoin, that the totality has no legal purpose.

I doubt that we have enough information regarding this point,

You sound like a fucking old disgruntled and out of touch person-bot.

I think you'll find that any widely used currency will see a substantial amount of it being spent on criminal shit, obviously, so that points invalid really imo.

meanwhile we are getting ready to leave with the rocket, and laugh at all your inflation and the corruption of banks.

I can not stress this enough:

the average amount of bitcoin people will have is less than 0.003 bitcoin

You are just on and on about Ethereum, and it seems that you don't even believe the bullcrap that you are spouting.

Who the fuck knows about short term price directions of ETH?  I'm sure they can continue to pump Ethereum for a while, but there is just a lack of fundamentals - at least in respect to the decentralized aspect of it, and at some point it is going to have to come cascading down.  

Yeah, they can keep pumping it, but when there is a lack of some of the fundamentals, then sooner or later people are going to recognize the lack of there, there.  

Hey - I don't want to criticise your investment preferences. Just sayin.

Like I say - both have distinct markets and both are likely perfectly viable  

Certainly.

Ever taken a train ride ? Well if the train's travelling at 80 MPH and you take a stroll to the buffet car for a coffee, you'll actually be doing around 82MPH - 2MPH faster than the train.

There's a reason that every exchange expresses all alt-coin values in one denomination only and thats because one coin serves as the front door for this entire market.

(And it ain't no Lego-Coin)  

You can't get buyer protection from a debit card?
[Shift on Coinbase comes to mind]
Just make sure you pay your CC ON TIME
and GTFO b4 the fees hit...

Just paid my hosting service with bitcoins.

Which service accepts ethereums?

If you want to invent metrics to suit your case and use "relative market volume" as a measure then I think you'll find you got blown away by YB Coin which had 32 times more "Relative market volume" than Ethereum  

What's the TLA for "ALL-TIME HIGH"?

It isn't.

We only think about it because of all the shill/WUM posts we see about it here.
