i think r0ach is paranoid and has built an impressive house of cards as to why ETH will "never work".  but i guess the take away is that ETH is traveling unknown territory and it may or may not actually make any practical sense to actually use it, it could very well go to 0 eventually. The way i see it its got a 10% chance of working out long term but if it does it could mean 10-100X incress long term, so i keep a small amount of ETH locked away forever "just in case". I have not at all followed the ETH story, no time for that.

just check its price 0.018 isn't a half bad price, but I expect BTC to rise substantially in the next few months / years and figure ETH will sorta flat line at 5-10$ until it finds itself some serious usefulness.

but i think its worth having a few ETH, its feels like its got massive potential ( but massive risk too ), and could also act as a "safe haven crypto" when things aren't looking good for bitcoin.
