Does ETH have a solution for coffee cup scalability? Meaning it actually could handle all 1b transactions currently done in fiat money without a hard fork?
I know that its basicly impossible for bitcoin to replace fiat money because that would require a block size increase which would in turn require a hard fork again (worse than segwit).
So does eth have any kind of solution for this? Or does it have a fixed block size too?

>> No.15916875

a)it does but not on eth 1 chain and whitout sharding/plasma
b) it doesn't matterr eth is not ment to be payment protocol you can do that with stable coins on eth 1

Your asking wrong questions like begginer lvl 1 shit -dig deeper (read about nightfall for start and see why they dont care is it 1 sec or 5 min transaction and how is eth as globald ecentralsied settlement platform usefull to them)

I don't get it, on BTC its 1$ per transaction and its never gonna hold that much data anyway, since the blockchain gets too bloated.

I just want to invest in something I can believe actually has the power to kill fiat or at least Visa

what this anon is saying is true OP.

ETH has the intention of replacing the current financial solutions to markets. aka it is a platform to make things like trading, investing, derivatives, forex, dividends, etc all much smarter and automated through the protocols design

So its basicly not even meant for money in the traditional sense, but just a trustless replacement for systems that already exists?
Thats kind of disappointing, but makes a lot of sense.
Also makes sense to invest in LINK since it would solve the problem of putting real world data in a trustless stock market.
Only thing I'm worried about is that LINK isn't trustless but I guess normies won't care about that

Well, there's this strange phenomenon in crypto that peple don't understand what mmarket cap is. They think "if bitcoin was worth cents in 2009, then my shitcoin one day could be worth as much as Bitcoin is worth today."
This is why shitcoins like XRP, Tron, and Cardano pumped to $1. So Holo could very well follow the same track and pump miraculously 100x.

Holo is still in alpha and barely works but there's a lot of developers working on it and it's moving forward. Check their GitHub activity. Do your own research bro.
Ethereum is a safer coin to bet but I have some Holo bags just in case.

this thread has everything from level 1 beginners to legit knowledgable cryptopians.
If you're a retard sitting on the sidelines not really sure of things and have questions, now's the time to ask.
DAI is huge deal, don't neglect the appeal of having your assets remain stable while you prepare future decisions. The trustless market only has serious money being added into it due to the growth of DeFi and it's reassuring DAI peg.
For the foreseeable future, all meaningful trustless execution will be taking place on ETH blockchain, if you've been involved in crypto for a while and haven't seen the value in ETH and LINK yet you have no hope.

so crypto has no actual usecase that would justify its insane value? Thats kind of disapointing desu. Are we just hoping to cash out before the normies realize it or is there an actual ideal behind it?
I know BTC sucks since its just a beta but do you really think no crypto could kill fiat? Because once all the kinks are worked out I don't see how it isn't a better alternative in every way.

So you are basicly saying cryptois supposed to more like a replacment for a bank account but you still buy small stuff with hard cash and order with visa?

mate I think your keyboard is broken

Yes I didn't know about shard, that seams like an idea that should have been implemented on a coin 5 years ago. I'm just really worried about a hardfork and the big rich investornormies staying with the status quo.

The problem with ETH I think its a closed system, so generating events from a closed system is kind of pointless, even if its trustless.
I know that LINK is exactly the solution to this, I'm fomoing hard about it right now, but I am just really scared about investing in a non-trustless system.
I mean in Bitcoin having a ton of coins would allow you to at most affect the dollar price, but in link it seams having tons of coins would allow you disrupt the entire system.

Current market cap for crypto is about $220 billion. That's NOT a lot of money.

1. Hiding money
2. Money laundering
3. Cheap international money transfers
4. Illegal stuff trade
1-4 alone are easily worth trillions of dollars.

5. Decentralized finance
