Not even on purpose, I just read this thread a few minutes ago...

Interesting thread. I have often thought there is an element of social engineering going on with btc and the community. The infighting and indecisiveness certainly does not help btc.

I am suspect though of a post that talks about the death of btc while propping up ETH.

Social engineering definitely plays a role, especially in what concerns BTC markets. Social engineers make the waves and markets follow, out of fear or manipulation.

bullshit, people forget that bitcoin was alive since the beginning when there was only satoshi experimenting with it

it's basically impossible to kill, no matter what you do at best you could depreciate its value

also ETH is not a competitor, the coin itself does not offer anything new against bitcoin, and the platform can be used with bitcoin too if they want to integrate it

Not bullshit. Some people are actively trying to hinder Bitcoin. It is noticeable in this forum and in mainstream media. Also sometimes on cryptocurrency media...

Bitcoin is indeed alive and ETH is not competition: people are simply using ETH to bash at Bitcoin...

There are too many flaws here to begin with.
1) Bitcoin is not dead, it is peaking with adoption.
2) Decentralized != fail.
3) Promoting an altcoin (Ethereum).
4) Bitcoin and Ethereum are not comparable.
5) Ethereum is not dedicated to moving and validating money, it is more of a complex blockchain based contract mechanism.

It's just a coincidence, right?

Quoted for truth... And yeah, what an interesting coincidence.
