Yeah, using a link that talks about ethereum and the dao is a very good way to back up your claims that bitcoin is busted..
When will it get through to you all that bitcoin and ethereum are different things and used for different things?
Bitcoin might be in a mess regarding the way it is going, but it has been for a long time now and it is not a reason for collapse anymore. It is working at the moment and the stuff that is debated about is stuff that will come in the future (Ok, have to admint transactions can take quite long now, and fees are increasing).

I am not a technical guy so I don't want to go in to that nitty-gritty.
But the success not always depends on the technology. There is something called "Public sentiment".
And I think, being a pioneer in crypto currency world, bitcoin has own the hearts of millions and it will help bitcoin survive.

Thanks for being honest with this part. That's the truth of the matter, and explains the situation as it is unfolding today, ETH is going to mop up all the investment, transactions, and users that can't fit in a 1MB block BTC.

Eth is not made for transactions. It was never meant to be a currency, therefore it will not replace bitcoin in that regard. The Eth network is also clogging up due to the massive amount of transactions that were not expected. Their blockchain is bloating every minute. For investments and building projects on top, eth is probably going to take the major share, but for store of wealth and transactions, it will not.

So many pessimists around here. You just don't believe that bitcoin is still thriving, and ethereum is going to die off soon, do you? Ethereum is as someone before me said never designed to be a currency. Instead it's an asset that's held.
The only reason the amount of transactions are going up is because Ethereum is getting pumped and dumped and when an altcoin is doing that it has to be done through an exchange. And more exchanges = more transactions. I doubt the majority of them are even actually legit transactions for purchases.
Bitcoin's problems can definitely be fixed. I trust the developers to do them.

uh, mmmm, it's a trustless system. When the community relies on trust, it is de facto proof of network failure. You lose.

How are people supposed to use Ether if they can only really store them at an exchange. Luckily I only have a small number of Ether in my wallet, but it seems crazy to me that my mid-range laptop can't sync with the Ether network. Geth just stops updating after a while, so I can't just leave it on, before anyone says.

I dont'd see bitcoin and ethereum targeting exactly the same audience and doing the same job. So I don't see your point. The points you raised are certainly true, but I see new developments and solutions (sidechains for example) coming.

This is just a FUD attempt against status quo. Brian will try just about anything to get his way at this point, but it isn't working. Coinbase is positioning itself for profit; they don't care which currency is at the top. You turn your back for five seconds and the whole Crypto world changes.
Nothing has changed aside from 'controversial HF groups' trying to attack Bitcoin in different ways now.

Strange, if I am not mistaken, ether's supply is infinite. What is the value of an item if its supply is unlimited?

yes,someone told us with good chart that etherum supply is unlimited,little bit worry this kind of situation will compete bitcoin as lead of crypto currency,because now i dont have etherum yet,i wish etherum not too fast being better crypto currency.

You definitely seem mistaken.As far as I know,total supply of ETH is limited to 80,371,370.66 and the market capitalization of $986,960,431.The value of the item doesn't depend on the supply but the demand. The above article is however is an FUD attempt in favor of bitcoins which is not something new,its happening since the launch of ETH. Companies like IBM and Unisys are utilizing blockchain to develop IOt applications and let me give you a good news ,ETH is not their choice.

Great technology and fast development, even so i don't see anyone who use Ethereum as currency? Isn't Ethereum supposed to be a cryptocurrency? I think Ethereum and Bitcoin are different, so even if Ethereum become more popular, there's no way Bicoin will be busted. Also, i feel Ethereum isn't decentralized at all ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Yes actually i also have similar thought i don't see ethereum as a pure crypto decentralized and can be trusted like bitcoin. When bitcoin block size debate get solved bitcoin will be more useful but i can't ignore that eth also have lots of potential in future. Staking both will be great move before block halving.

You can only use it at remote service as the merchant adoption is very low in comparison to Bitcoin. The idea behind ETH was never to use it as a currency. quote author=Patatas link=topic=1484353.msg14966318#msg14966318 date=1464190280] You definitely seem mistaken.As far as I know,total supply of ETH is limited to 80,371,370.66. [/quote] Why would he be mistaken if ETH is going to transition to POS? POS effectively means infinite supply. The value of the item doesn't depend on the supply but the demand.
Wrong. It depends on both the supply and demand.
