I've pretty much lost all faith in Ethereum and its motives. The way this has played out pretty much demonstrates that a good idea, no matter how beautiful, while still subject to being ruled by people capable of corruption/greed/or whatever you want to call it, can be tainted absolutely.
- meowface 10y agoIt's interesting because for so many years, Ethereum was hailed as this ultra-resilient alternative to Bitcoin. Developed slowly and deliberately after Bitcoin had already gotten traction, it was supposed to fill in where Bitcoin couldn't. Instead, it's proved to be far more chaotic and unreliable than Bitcoin at its worst hours. Building currencies (or a "decentralized smart contract platform") is hard.
