And crypto will be better off because of it. Ethereum has a better network with more utility (contracts) and can do currency just like BTC.

I wonder how many users have actually taken ETH off exchange and stored it in their own wallet.
Try downloading the full blockchain. Is the same size as BTC with less history, takes 5 times as long on an SSD and uses a lot of disk I/O.
In my opinion, it is not an efficient payment processor. It should be used as the distributed computing platform it was designed for.

So why is Ethereum a better network?

No regular user download the full blockchain nowadays, Bitcoin users don't download the Bitcoin blockchain neither. There's probably nearly a million Bitcoin users, and only a few thousand full nodes. ETH actually has more full nodes than Bitcoin atm.

are ETH full node rewarded for their job? otherwise what is the reason for them to have a full node? the only oen that i can think of is that ETH full node are less expensive to run

anyway altcoin ar enot better network, people already forgotten the ETH problem, and are only in pnic mode because of the hard fork of bitcoin

it has nothing to do with that, people just are unsecure when something like this happen and now they are storing their funds in the altnetwork

hilarious isn't it, when you fear that you lose fiat money you stotre on bitcoin, when you fear that you lose bitcoin money you store in the altcoin...
