I doubt any sane investor would think like point (1). I would follow ETH only because it's backed by the original developers. The reversion happened only because member(s) of Ethereum Foundation personally invested in DAO, so they easi

There's not much code difference for now (when/if ETH pushes the PoS Casper change that'll change). As for civil war, see a complaint[1] of an ETH developer to SEC for an Ethereum Classic Trust. I don't follow enough for

At the moment their use-case is "selling blockchain" to enterprise. Plus ease of creating even more altcoins to ICO so some people can make quick money without any real product. It's even more unforunate that there are people

tl;dr: Meh growth, but "exponential growth" on the current small scale for March. Spike of interest based on some PR news without any substance. An Ethereum agency selling snakeoil and big-gov-money just wanting innovation-news-cr

Hanlon's razor though. I would presume malice only maybe to Bitmex, but for most other exchanges, I think it's plainly low-quality/bad engineering.

Kraken has a horrible trading engine, I've seen a lot of examples of delayed executions (in the class of minutes), so the peanuts of earnings can be lost very easily on the immature trading engines of these exchanges.

There is at least one exchange that has enough discount, but their reputation is horrible, so if you want to arbitrage that then it's on your head. In general that's the case if there is any opportunity. While they don't make

Just from the DAO hack, you can learn a lot of things of how Ethereum works as a project and a company: - Ethereum's design (turing completeness etc.) doesn't enable formal verification of code/contracts - Months before the h

Unless the formation of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance supports about 10 or so other cryptocurrencies[1], then the formation is not really the reason. Imo the Bitcoin ETF rejection produced a knee-jerk reaction and caused a lot of potential (

Indeed, I've heard the issue of low signal-to-noise ratio, but it's pretty irresponsible not to offer any real reward.

Cases like these show how needed transparency is (see Mozilla). Hopefully this will cause Google to open up some more (although doubt it).

Well it's due to the GBP devaluation after the referendum, so it makes sense.

The second one mainly. There is probably a way to do MPC in a truly trustless manner but that's another big challenge and Zcash investors were probably getting impatient so they pushed for a launch.

Indeed, even though a couple popular cryptographers have vouched, it's still not the classic definition of peer-reviewed for something that ground-breaking. That aside, the MPC (Multi-Party Computation) setup is more of a security thea

The "trusted setup" is a permanent unfixable security hole. While it's partially secure in theory, it goes against the core value of Bitcoin and cryptography where you trust he math and not some person. It will be a constant

You basically are betting for the same outcome in two different ways, full exposure. I don't see how this is arbitrage.
