Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

[Cass LeChat]

I like that Ethereum gears itself more towards a decentralized internet rather than a currency, because there are a lot of challenges it takes on that bitcoin hasn't yet.

Trends.. pandering.

They (coin pushers) all know that main stream adoption is a long dead cause.
They also know our alt scene users are aware of this.. hence the pandering !
How ?
Marketing gimmicks to divert attention from the only real useful goal... main stream ADOPTION.

So some diversion are needed to generate some activity.

ETH guys can pander to some obscure nerdy niche gimmick features all they want.. Makes no difference.

This shit will go nowhere.. ever.

The trend is block chain systems with a whole slew of shit tacked on.
But they are doomed to failure.
The only thing that does matter is a CURRENCY that beats Bitcoin.

These guys know they can't beat Bitcoin so they are trying to change the fight.

This sub forum is about CURRENCIES guys.

Bitcoin is Nr.1 crypto in the world, Ethereum is the altcoin, which do not have enough popularity - just check the altcoin using websites. Even Doge is much more popular 

Ethereum is altcoin at present. But it is in active development. It has strong advocater, bitcoin does not have one.

Etherum is not very popular crypto, for example look on Doge, Dash. Doge is used in a lot of sites

ETH is a currency though.  Ethereum is the name of the turing complete blockchain platform. Once ethereum moves to POS you will be able to use any cryptocurrency to run smart contracts on ethereum.  But ETH will be the only currency that will be used to stake in the POS.

What does POS have to do with it?

The legacy of ETH's launch is the most important aspect to me.
Fully open source ?
Fair Launch ?
Launch method ? Mining vs IPO etc.

How it started seems to be a problem from my perspective (with all you guys)

But after Ethereum succeeds in tackling those challenges, bitcoin can use the same technology, like it did to the other altcoin.

How can the topic title be true when ETH's main usage is not even a currency ?

It's just another Net of all things of heap of scammy bullshit like BlockNET etc
..with some digital ponzi toke aspect tacked onto to it.

I think there is no difference between Eth and bitcoin. Both can be used as currency. Eth can also be used in making contracts.

Noob question but how long does on average an Ethereum transaction take to confirm?

The targeted block time is about 20s. But it needs about 1 hour to confirm, so that is about 180 blocks.

[Xiestar]

When you send Eth to Poloniex, it needs 720 blocks to confirm. That was about 3 months ago. I am not sure about the requirement now.

Looks like ethereum prices are gradually increasing while bitcoin is stagnant.

That's a good thing if your main goal is to trade back and forth and using BTC as your base currency.

Basically if you invested in a coin that isnt called Ethereum you might as well pack your bags and gtfo

Do you mean the dollar price? The dollar price of Eth has risen but the BTC price has dropped over the last few months.

The dollar price is quite good. It rose steadily over the last two months. If it rises against bitcoin, it is even better.

What a complete dunce you are. Go and sit in the corner.

The price of Ethereum has risen a lot recently. It is still rise, it might be $1.3 soon. It also rise against bitcoin, even more.
