Once ETH releases ring signatures dapp its over. The only chance for monero to survive is to increase adoption by a tenfold.
Monero doesn't even have a GUI...

...No one is using this (Monero)...

He is very offensive, but what really makes me sad is that I sort of agree with him. I think that the opportunity window for Monero's success probably closed many months ago. (If not, there is very little time left). Great technology, but there is NO Marketing, and no (Non-Techno-Geek) user friendliness. Nor does there seem to be any recognition that these factors might be important.

Beta was superior to VHS. But that analogy is flawed, because those two videotapes were functionally more or less equivalent in their applications. But the Market obviously sees the potential functionality of ETH as superior to that of Monero. And again, there's a disparity in Marketing among the two. Look at their ages, and their market caps. And ETH is not yet finished either.

Maybe Ethereum has a much bigger market, because they had big big media attention where monero had none of that yet? Hell i guess 3/4 of the people trading ethereum don´t even know what it does... they just shout around turing-complete without understanding what that even is ... thats my opinion when i see post about it.
