It sure is. Anybody reading this, take my word, get in Ethereum.. Or you'll regret it forever.
Oh, got some smart contracting stuff you need to do soon? C'mon, the whole idea of Ethereum is a pie in the sky, nonsensical attempt of a crypto driven business model that doesn't make a lick of sense to anyone... but because it is different from the standard Bitcoin and cryptonote models, anyone can pretend that it is "the next big thing".
The average joe wants digitalized cash, not a digitalized contracts.
I don't think ETH will replace bitcoin in the scene and I agree that the idea of ETH is just a pie in the sky.
But we will see in the end who will be the last crypto standing
It's not like there has to be one crypto that "defeats them all" type of deal going on. Ethereum is a completely different animal, and to say that "you will regret not getting in right now" is kind of silly... if you need to do this "smart contract" stuff, cool... by all means... but people are probably not using this stuff for more than just mere speculation and that's it. So I think that to compare Bitcoin and Ethereum together is like comparing a carrot to soda.
It's quite funny that someone said that "you'll regret it forever" how about those people the who know bitcoins from the start and stop believing it.
For sure they regret it but the thing is it is not too late for coming back and for starting again with bitcoin.
And yeah, comparing eth to btc is not really a close fight at all.
