+1 to Gone Girl. Was a surprise for me. I started watching it assuming it is a mediocre movie, but in 15 minutes after I realized that it is a quite tough stuff.

Hamsters can run in the wheel and produce electricity for mining!

Yes, I do why not certainly someone have to be the firs. and we - humans - may be the first and only life in the universe, but... but much more probable is that we are not. And there are some others. Some aliens.
It is impossible for bitcoin to become a national currency from a lot of reason. First of all the transaction fees are t high and also the time that it takes for a transaction to be confirmed is pretty big if you pay a small fee. If you want to buy a coffe or a juice you would have to pay 5-6$ for the product + 4-5$ the fee for transaction so at the end you pay double the price. The second problem is the big fluctuations of the price. One day a bitcoin can worth 8000$ then the next day it worths 6000$. This will obviously affect a lot of merchants because most of them have to calculate their profits everyday or every 2-3 days.
one day fees will go low (as the price) transaction rate will be higher after some upgrades of the protocol so, in a future Bitcoin have a chance to be usable as national currency, but not today.
I will go for ETH any day if you ask me as I'm comfortable with it and never tried LTC. ETH is fast enough for me and with low transaction fee. It's next to bitcoin so I think it's good enough.
Everyone believes in the quality of the Etherum coin. Etherum has a high level of confidence and we all know that Etherum is the best Altcoin available today. maybe some people will try another coin, but for some people Bitcoin and etherum are the best choice, they will not try another coin and will try to focus on some coins only.
in long term that is right. Bitcoin is very famous and attracts money -> price grow. ETH smart contract is the superpower. It makes Ethereum ecosystem grow constantly -> price grow.
I've googled for "longest forum thread ever" and I'm pretty sure this topic have more pages than any other topic in the Internet. Other "longest threads ever" I've checked have not more than 150K posts.
