Yeah... no. The major cryptos all attack each other, and B-grade cryptos like Stellar must convince the world that Ethereum is doomed or they themselves are doomed, because Ethereum is turing complete and if they figure out scaling many of the altcoins like stellar also fail, as ethereum can clone all their features.
Who knows what will happen, but FUD like this is dumb
- Terretta 8y agoIf you make it to the footer: > The author holds Stellar and Bitcoin, but has relatively little holdings in other cryptocurrencies. He has previously done a Virtual Lapel Pin Sale (like an ICO) for his cause, “Fuck Nazis”, on top of Ethereum which faced both government censorship and censorship from the Ethereum community.
- seibelj 8y agoI have never heard of a “virtual lapel pin sale” but he is implying that the Ethereum community censored his “Fuck Nazis” ICO which is blatantly absurd
- jlrubin 8y agoWell, Stellar must make the same case as well -- just arguing that you need to hold XLM in reserve to make an account/pay tx fees is an insufficient reason for XLM to hold value. The difference is with Stellar Consensus, the forward progress of the network doesn't depend on the value of XLM.
