As has been said before, everything etherium can do, bitcoin can do - and then some. Theoretically - yes. In practice - no. For example, developers of the Augur project (which is IMO one of candidates to be The Bitcoin Killer Application ) started implementing it in bitcoin. But had to switch to Ether. Why? Because "Bitcoin’s codebase isn’t really that well written: if you modify one thing, it breaks quite a few others ... Bitcoin is tightly coupled. What should have been a simple weekend project ended up taking a couple months to get everything working" http://www.augur.net/blog/why-ethereum

It is the protocol which is the important thing, no?

scamcoin sorry for your loss This. Not sure why would it be better than btc... As has been said before, everything etherium can do, bitcoin can do - and then some. Duh... selling 30K bitcoins just to ease their immediate hunger... what a waste!

Today the global markets are sinking because China is devaluating the Yuan, but bitcoin is very stable. I think this shows how there is very little connection between the bitcoin market and other markets.
Yep - the first devaluation should scare every chinese saver, and everyone who knew about bitcoin but had not jumped in yet, should do just that. But no. Nothing of that kind happened. There is a chinese wall between bitcoiners and the financial market!

It is the protocol which is the important thing, no? That's why I said "Theoretically - yes". Of course, some good, well structured, loose-coupled bitcoin core software will be created. Eventually. But these guys are creating their product not eventually, but today. And today they have a choice - to create it on top of well written ether or on top of badly written bitcoin-core. The second option takes ten times more time and efforts, so they have to choose the first one. Yes, eventually bitcoin will fix this code problems. But it may be too late by then. If critical mass of applications would be build on top of something else rather than on top of bitcoin, this "something else" will go mainstream instead of bitcoin.

One 5k market buy and we nearly hit 300.
I think we slowly lurch upwards.
I fear to ask where the price would end after a 5k sell order

Gemini starts inviting. That is a fitting image for the price of bitcoin: floating in space, pegged to nothing...
