Ethereum (or BTU) may be able to adapt faster than Bitcoin -- for real world use

[ProfessionalGoogler]

With both cryptos showing real value in the world, which will win the race to transact faster?



Yeah, an alt coin (ETH/BTU) COULD overcome Bitcoin and this has always been known.

Not keeping up with growth can be the thing that kills you.

GL!

Ethereum was unusable for a long time because of a single 150M dollars ICO.

Are you sure ETH would handle real world use?

You can ignore all the issues Bitcoin has had in the past all you want Johnny Bravo.

Most of the issues are due to toxic people, they will be forking off soon apparently so  the both sides can be free to make the changes they would like..... 5"K here  we come...

i don't think so, ETH is not even usable now, while bitcoin is accepted everywhere, current bitcoin problem is only the outrageous high fee, after segwit2x will be activated, you will get a faster adoption than this

ETH has nothign over bitcoin at the moment, besides very fast confirmation, but this will be solved too in bitcoin with LN, i still like that other currency will be adopted in the future, will help the crypto scene to get more recognized

The point is not that Bitcoin doesn't have problems.  The point is that both have problems, and therefore ETH is not necessarily superior.

It's also important to realise that if updates can be passed too easily, it usually means the coin is centralised (if it's quite large like ETH).  Bitcoin is currently quite a fringe movement for free money, and ETH compromises this, which is why it's usually not accepted by merchants - because BTC is the free money, and ETH not only is centralised but isn't even much better anyway!

It doesn't matter what speculators seem to the price of Ether to be.  Once LN is implemented, I regard it to only be useful for smart contracts, and I see that as unrelated to BTC/not in competition.
In the future some cryptocurrencies could well be better than BTC, but this doesn't mean that all of them have to be adopted by merchants.

yes exactly. you can ignore all the problems that ethereum has and how its whole system failed pretty easily yesterday with a tiny uprise in the number of transactions that the ICOs caused .
you can also ignore the problems that it has with ICOs itself and how theDao easily abused the platform.

ignore all of it.

a broken token platform will replace a perfectly performing crypto currency! much logic. such wow.
