  • From cyounessi1:

    As an ETH investor I don’t care what miners or exchanges use as their base currency, because Ethereum is trying to kill both of them anyways, full stop. Next critique is basically the “is ETH money?” debate. Certainly is to me. Probably too big of a debate to go into here.

  • From superphiz:

    Want to know a secret? I hold more value in bitcoin than Ethereum because I never sold the coins I mined in 2011. The interesting part? I have zero interest in dealing with Bitcoin and I spend every waking moment working with Ether. That should tell you something.
