9GB/week is not huge at all, and ethereum nodes are not designed to be run on "average world connection". The only people running full nodes realistically should be on extremely fast connections. Bandwidth and storage are only getting cheaper Also "Ethereum failed as a blockchain"? They're the 2nd largest coin after bitcoin, it can hardly be called failed

Say, Ripple is not a blockchain at all. Try critical thinking, highly recommended.

    Sorry, I got very annoyed hearing price arguments. We need to stop caring about price and see what's underneath.

      Yes, saying "ethereum failed" without refutation, out of the blue, when plenty of evidence shows otherwise, is not annoying at all.

        As a blockchain. As a Ponzi scheme (and platform to run them) it's wildly successful.

  You may have a point about the space but don't resort to insults like the last sentence. I think you also have a lot to prove when saying Ethereum has failed v Bitcoin.

    I said specifically as a resistant blockchain, and gave a clear metric why. And not vs Bitcoin, which also isn't in great shape.
