Compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum is not intended to be used as a currency. It is a fuel in the smart contract system.
If ETH isn't a currency, then I suppose that this is the wrong place to advertise is it? Although you can say that about some of the altcoins in the market.
eth are tokens for the ethereum smart contract (highly experimental buggy) platform. It's not a currency it's a token to execute smart contracts inside ethereums bloated network. There is a difference and there's no sense in comparing them. Anyone saying eth is a currency (like bitcoin, dash, etc) is either a pumper/hodler or a n00b who doesn't know the difference.
