I will prefer Ethereum Technology people love cool new things, and when we talk about Ethereum we hardly ever talk about it as a way of doing things Bitcoin could already do. But the experience of using Bitcoin to pay for things is getting increasingly painful, and its time has come to look at how Ethereum could help.
Ethereum people have often tended to tip-toe around its usefulness for payments; many cut their crypto teeth on Bitcoin, and they are generally uninterested in picking a fight.
But Im going to argue that Ethereum is not just capable of doing online payments, but actually seriously great.
Ethereum payments are simpler
People often think of Ethereum as a complicated technology. Its true that to make full use of all its smart contract capabilities, you need to wrap your head around a bewildering array of technologies and sub-projects.
But you dont have to use all that stuff, and where it counts, payments on Ethereum are simple.
