- dharma1 10y agoI really don't see Ethereum killing Uber or AirBnB, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. The reason people use Uber or AirBnB is because of 1) trust 2) network effects (you need a LOT of users for these things to be useful) 3) great, fast, simple UX None of which Ethereum or Ethereum companies have yet, and even if Ethereum becomes popular, Uber clones on ETH face the same uphill battle as any other company trying to take on Uber. It doesn't really matter for the average user what the underlying tech is, if it's powered by a decentralised cryptocurrency or not.
