Sure glad I am not invested in either of them, nor do I want to be Grin

Too much hyperbole all round.

Yup, exactly.

In the case of Etherium, if someone wants to invest in it at least wait for it to be released and the miners start dumping it. Judging by the amount of money they took in, it would appear that crypto investors don't like to read fine print. The Etherium devs could fly to their island in the sun tomorrow without delivering anything and there isn't a damn thing anyone could do about it. The sad thing is, even if that happened I bet there would still be tons of people defending Vitalik. Gotta love sheep!

Yeah, it's quite scary how unsubstantial Ether actually is. It's not even a currency. It doesn't even have a supply cap. It's a digital IOU. The whole concept just seems very convoluted, and more to appeal to investors than developers. Right now you're paying for an idea. Not a product.
