The article is filled with quite a bit of crazy talk. I am not sure about whether he just looks like a fool right now, or maybe he will look more like a fool later. The foolish part seems to be his comparison contrast of bitcoin and ethereum, and it just sounds ridiculously pump and dump.. but yeah, supposedly ethereum is the future and innovative, while bitcoin is stagnant and just so yesterday... He seems to miss the whole point about the value of bitcoin being within its immutability and lack of flexibility and in fact the killer app for bitcoin is bitcoin itself...... and already difficult to alter bitcoin that allows ethereum and a lot of other quasi-centralized building on top of bitcoin and will likely later be able to be secured by bitcoin.

The only thing I got out of that was "You can do more with ethereums scripting language". But the only thing that ethereums scripting language has done is DAO and even that is described as people scamming themselves from their money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Rnz7TDQ2I

No, they don't care about BTC anymore. Their immediate plan is to start campaign for ETH blocksize increase.

a picture is worth a thousand words
Death of Bitcoin, in two thousand words: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs33.postimg.org%2Fyjvg3xmlb%2Fbitchrs.jpg&t=665&c=3evRcXgDFg2aJg) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs33.postimg.org%2F5xxs9syov%2Fbawww.jpg&t=665&c=CcaYlYi4AO7jPQ) Probably, you are feeling really good to have graduated from newbie to Jr Member, finkelMonie, in order to be able to post your clever and articulate images. Yeah, I said it. clever and articulate. NOTBy the way, in my humble estimation, breaking up 2% up seems more likely than 2% down... but yeah, it could take us several more weeks to break out of the $430 to $470 price range.. though I am thinking that even breaking out of that range, the chances for up seem better than down... maybe 55% up to 45% down. I know that I am waffling a bit, but are there any better predictions out there?

"That said, I think Ethereum is ahead of Bitcoin in many ways and represents the bleeding edge of digital currency."OK guys I confused. Is eth a currency or not? Fuel or currency?

Probably he meant to say digital asset, but you know, he was sloppy in a lot of places in his blog post and his seemingly self-serving skewing of various facts. On the other hand, ETH is probably whatever people want it to be, and even though it may not have the security of a some other cryptocurrency (such as bitcoin), if people treat ETH like a currency, then it becomes a currency. I just keep seeing the quantity of ETH going up by millions from 77 million to 80 million, but then at the same time, the question regarding how many there are going to be remains quite suspect - and I wonder if anyone is going to be thrown in jail from some of these apparent ETH quantity manipulation shenanigans... and then pre-mined too... but whatever... if people buy they hope for an appreciation of price, which short term, i have no real insight either price direction.. At first I thought that it was going back down to $2 and maybe better case $5, and it only made it down to $7, then up to nearly $15, which may not be the end of the upwards direction... seems scary to be buying at this point.
