  Remember what happened to wikileaks.org ? A few calls from a senator and the domain was taken away and amazon shutdown their servers. How do you create an internet in which this sort of censorship is nearly impossible. You might not care but this is a problem that a lot of ppl do care about. By the end of this year with the release of swarm and ethereum naming system it will be possible to run a completly decentralized (no servers), uncensorable, 100% uptime website.

    that's not a widespread problem held by many nor evidence of consumers demand. Like you said, it's a problem considered by a few but outside of that there's very little reason to use ethereum. go ahead and downvote my critical views on Ethereum, I'm already used to it from /r/ethereum pumpers. But I'm taking away that there's no good rationale for adopting Ethereum or blockchain technology other than very micro and esoteric niches.

      You are entitled to your opinion and naturally not everyone cares about the same problems. If you don't see an use for Ethereum (at least not yet) then just don't use it. Btw, you used the word 'pumpers', I really couldn't care less about the price. I hate the whole market thing. Bitcoin/Ether could be $10K or $1 for all I care. Also, I actually agree 100% that there is no good rationale for adopting Ethereum & blockcahin technology as it is right now as there is so much more to do until it's actually practical.
