Some of you don't have a clue on what you are talking about. Ethereum was crowdfunded with about $18,5 million! What was the situation with Bitcoin (despite the premine, which can be evaluated nowdays, and as far as I know, it is still intact)? You can't compare Ethereum with Bitcoin, because of 1 simple reason (not 10): One is revolution, and the other is a paid project. Period.

I don't think thats true with Premine cause it will be the same "share for the developers" type of thing but it would be more risky than ICO for sure.
However,Bitcoin has its worth and was very creative at first but that doesn't means something new with much better features cannot surpass it and with the sense less drama we are seeing since months people might get more inclined towards a switch but it is not that easy how people think anyways.

Agreed! The majority of the world still don't understand Bitcoin. Ethereum is even more sophisticated, but that doesn't mean it will surpass Bitcoin. Sometimes simplicity is better. Like the money. You have $100 and you know how much they worth. You go to the bank, make a deposit, receive a receipt for it and you go home. Or buy something... whatever. It's not your problem (or job) to understand how those $100 will go from your account to another. Try to explain that to "ordinary" people, but use Ethereum instead. There are bunch of people who are yelling: "Ethereum this, Ethereum that" (applies to all of the cryptocurrencies they are interested in), but at the end, technology can become great if majority of people accept it.
