Fuck 'em :) I'm no Bitcoin maxi or "crypto will kill traditional finance in 5 years" type, or even really a get rich quick chaser (it'd be nice, but I've lived in reality for too long to expect anything like that) but I'm smart enough and humble enough to recognise it's a brand new thing (even 13 years later) that will grow and evolve to find its own niche or niches and then they will grow and evolve and fragment as all things do. Cryptocurrency isn't going away, and Bitcoin has the 'original' going for it, the Veblen good association unrelated to any other pro or con argument. Ethereum is the 'original' smart contract version of Bitcoin, already an evolution of function, and has an ecosystem of vast proportions that any other smart contract platforms are a long way away from reaching (although getting closer faster than Ethereum is moving away). It's interesting to watch and there are a lot of smart developers working on difficult problems in the space. I'll also admit that I'm not smart enough to understand the intricacies of things like ZK proofs, but I somewhat understand their applicability in the space and look forward with interest to seeing whats possible when such technologies are applied to cryptocurrencies in practise. I'm rambling, but I want you to feel comfortable sharing here. I want to harvest the down votes on behalf of all those chilled.
