> Ethereum has been out for 7 months already and so far there have been no useful or popular dapps. I think that's a valid criticism- I, too, am a bit disappointed that there are few contracts yet with obvious utility. However, as someone deep in the community and talking to lots of people, it seems there's going to be tons of interesting dapps deployed in the next 6 months. Hopefully there will be a "killer dapp" among them. > And how is Ethereum is more secure than a properly setup VPS? If I store money on your VPS-based app, how can I be assured you can't steal it from me? If I use a feature on your VPS, how can I be sure you won't disable it tomorrow? Ethereum can provide these sorts of guarantees.
