A more adequate analogy would be: You're a miner who carries your mined gold using your truck. It's efficient and cheap. Just what you need to carry stuff. But some new kids on the block think they should carry them using Ferrari, just because. "It's so cool! This way I'll attract all the miners to work under me because they probably want to ride a Ferrari than a truck to carry gold! Sure trucks can carry more, but my Ferrari can reach 315KM/h!"

- zeveb 11y agoNo, it's more like: some miners are carrying gold in wheelbarrows pulled by cars, with very intricate mechanisms to keep them from tipping over; some miners are hauling ore in the back seats of Jaguars; some miners are hauling it in trucks hitched to mules; and one shows up with a fully-fueled ore-hauling truck, and everyone looks at the new guy and laughs at someone trying to do something so foolish: the car-pulled wheelbarrow guys note that truck-users are using old-fashioned mule-hauling technology ('but i'm not using mules!' says the new guy); the truck-users note that people who don't use mules tear up their backseats or spill their wheelbarrows ('but I'm not doing either!'); and the back-seat-loading Jag-haulers note that internal combustion is a superior way of generating hauling energy ('but that's what I'm using, and a truck engine is superior to a car's for hauling ore!' says the new guy).
