Tried searching for a thread discussion pertaining to Ethereum and Ether but could not seem to accomplish this as a newbie... what a noob right?

So my concerns with ethereum are based around the split and around the speculation that ethereum is not nearly as secure as they claimed it to be...

I actually have a relative stake invested in ether and am curious if anyone else out there has been experimenting with it or has a sound knowledge of the currency that would like to share their thoughts.

I want to believe that it will be the next big thing and I do not want to liquidate my stock or convert to BTC just yet..... Someone tell me I shouldn't do that! Cheesy

If you want it to survive and do well, help make it better. Not just buy into it like most people do with most coins. They buy to play in the trade market and completely forget about actually helping the community. Ethereum could survive, I say could because most of the problems it has had has been a constant train of bad news. Just when Ethereum thinks it's doing good and stable again it messes up somehow, again.

It is really a matter of whether people are willing to take the drawbacks of a flawed cryptocurrency in the hopes that it will be resolved like other apps in a newer version. Most people will not want a currency that can implode in on itself at any minute, but I like the idea so I've kept some eth.
