ETHB took the best of ETH and BTC because
... Bitcoin is a digital currency, invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, that is limited to just 21,000,000 units. As the price of bitcoin has risen, transaction fees have gotten much more expensive, making it impractical to use bitcoin for everyday purchases. Bitcoin’s use case has evolved over time from a peer-to-peer currency into a store of value (“digital gold”).
Ethereum is not a currency, it’s a decentralized, blockchain-based computing platform that facilitates smart contracts. The supply of Ether is UNLIMITED. More than 90,000,000 Ether are currently in circulation, which is six times more than the circulating supply of bitcoin. Because many ICOs trade ETH for their tokens, when they sell Ether to raise funds for their business, the price of ETH can swing wildly.
EtherBTC is a hybrid cryptocurrency that offers an immutable supply of just 21,000,000 ETHB, combined with the speed and affordability of the Ethereum blockchain, to provide a stable currency that can be stored in, and exchanged from, any Ethereum wallet that supports ERC20 tokens.
and that's why ETHB is my choice!
