IBM VP "We are forking Ethereum"

[patcon]

Ethereum is not available yet, and they already talk about a forking

i don't know how to react to a news like that!

Wat. Why does everyone say this? I've been messing with it and doing tutorials for a month, and I'm late to the game.

It exists if you code and like to experiment with technology. It does not yet exist if you just like speculating and buying crypto-assets.

I listened to the interview back when this thread started, and it does have a kind of "underpants gnomes" feel to it.  The VP doesn't really articulate clearly how the coin is going to solve the cloud-support problem, why it needs Turing-complete scripting, or the basis for choosing Ethereum as the base.  It's possible that as a VP, he just doesn't understand these things, though.

Many newbies get confused and believe people are talking about the scam Ether coin when people refer to Ethereum

I suspect the only reason ether coin used that name is it's similarity to ethereum.
