Seems many were in crypto in those lean years when every coin sucked basically, why wasnt everyone in eth?I read even in the presale on 3 people invested more than 1 million dollars, seems low when many long term btc hodlers must have had cash to splash.I mean even looking back it seemed revolutionary for the time.

If you knew anything about tech, very. In 2015 I got called a shill and a scammer for talking about Ethereum. Knowing it would get very big and popular as a platform wasn't hard for me at all. I was all in.

I started investigating ETH when it was $17. I thought it was baked already so threw money at some other shitcoins. At the time there weren't nearly as many so a lot seemed legit. Turns out 99.9% of them were all going to die or stall out which is what happened to everything I threw money at. It was obvious to me crypto was a thing that had some obscure value for the future but more obvious that it was a playground for making big money.

>> No.13030132

By 2016, Ethereum was a good way to gamble on the future of DLT. If you didn't believe in DLT, or you were a staunch Bitcoin maximalist, then there was no reason to get in. But if you had faith that DLT is going to change the world and could recognize Bitcoin as the mere prototype that it is, then Ethereum was a no-brainer. Same logic applies right now, btw.

It's the same as now anon. Great projects are passed over for ones with lots of hype and coordinated shilling. If and when they are mentioned, they are passed over by most. Of course, many will show up just to shit on it without a clue - either it's not "their coin" so it's immediately a "scam", or it's "their coin" and they want to manipulate the project by spreading deception. What you're doing is wise and if you continue to own your own head and build up that eye for potential, you will more likely make it than not.

>> No.13030343

it looked like a terrible decision for a long time, which is why it went down to 20 cents after launch. delays, confusion on how secure it could ever be, how it could actually work.

what it did have was that it was by far the first actual movement into a turing complete blockchain, nothing had come out before that was anything like it, which is why its remained and will remain dominant.

if you're trying to find "the next ethereum" though you should stop now, because the crypto world that created bitcoin, and then managed to create ethereum, is long since gone. every idea now has multiple competitors from launch, all fighting for the same pool of speculators. none of these will ever be grandfathered in as non-securities either, like ethereum had the luxury of being, despite having a flawed token model/launch. and mostly because everything about crypto is changing with scaling, and second layers will disrupt the entire model that all of these alts are built around.

Ethereum was the only sanctioned shitcoin in the Bitcoin community back then. Anyone saying otherwise are larpers. I remember a lot of reddit threads mentioning the upcoming Ethereum launch, and not in the usual pajeet shill way. It was surprisingly hyped. But a lot of people like me didnt invest because we had experienced that soul crushing bear market and shitcoins had such a bad reputation (and charts) at the time. Shitcoins didnt really have large communities either, except maybe LTC or Doge. Also Bitcoin sentiment was pretty bad even when we started reversing in the 400-700s. A lot of large companies stopped accepting it as payment (Steam, for example), so we didn't think that was the bottom, just another bull trap. Shitcoins were the last thing on my mind.

ETH was relentlessly and cringe shilled in a manner similar to Link, but was also ruthlessly shit on by btc holders and dogecoin fans. It sounded too good to be true and like it was bullshit. Nobody saw it as a vector for the ICO craze, which is what actually set off its enormous growth in the end. I would say it has corrected back to a healthy level, personally. As the first mover it has a lot of momentum and development behind it. Scaling is being worked on at the implementation level right now, which will allow the system to function as advertised and keep bad actors from fucking everything up again (like crypto collectibles).

It still has growing pains ahead, which is why I am not all in, but do have 30% of my crypto holdings as ETH.

That's really just because of all the pajeets mining it. Since link has no mining it obviously has much less general interest. Doesn't make it any more or less revolutionary.

ethereum wasn't a scam though, just like bat isn't a scam, it is however a worthless funding token because blockchain only played a part in funding brave. bat is good for nothing other than transferring value around, and when the companies only ever want to touch dollars/fiat, and users don't ever want to hoard a funding token, there's little room for bat outside of speculators.

and people today are still buying shitcoins convinced they're going to get rich. but don't fool yourself, bitcoin was always a clear winner in the space, and by early 2016, it was clear ethereum was too. nothing else has so far come close to that level of clarity.

Except bitcoin is and will remain the only cryptocurrency that really matters. No crypto will ever surpass it and for good reason.

Bitcoin maximalists are the last bastion of oldfags who were around before all you pump chasing retards came in 2017 with "the next btc"

Shilling alts is literal latecomer cope from brainlets mad they missed bitcoin so they try and manufacture "another bitcoin" or "the next bitcoin" to sell their bags to even bigger retards. No one is going to use your hyper-specific token when they could just use fucking bitcoin. In time the open-source, programmable nature of bitcoin means it will simply adopt all the provisions that make your shitcoin of choice better (none do), enhancing its moat and competitive advantage

Need I remind you that all it took was Cryptokitties for ETH to grind to a halt the same way BTC did during the bullrun?

you're too retard to function dude. the ONLY reason, and I mean ONLY reason alt coins took off was because the bitcoin mempool imploded and blocks filled up. the moment that happened transaction fees skyrocketed, the peer to peer cash use case failed, and ETH/altcoins started rising. the failed of bitcoin is the only reason alts exist today, because bitcoin failed at what it was supposed to do. you're a pretty retarded maximalist if you can't see that.

ETH rose because it was the gateway token to speculate on shitcoin ICOs. Those projects being given all those funds and sitting on them is what created lack of supply against the overwhelming demand for ETH for more shitcoin ICOs.

Bitcoin is digital gold anyways. It just has the benefit of also being a pretty legit currency too

just stop. ETH didn't matter before bitcoin failed and the ICO boom didn't happen until after ETH mattered. just admit bitcoin is a complete failure.

whatever you say man, nevermind the fact that BTC didn't become notably sluggish until the alt mania was already underway

we'll see who wins in the end, but i'm sure as fuck not worried about ETH. I still hold a bunch I picked up at good prices but like all shitcoins I hold them to flip for more btc, I never delude myself into thinking any of them will ever be worth more than btc

the attitude at the time of ETHs announcement on bitcointalk was premine = scam with no exceptions. This was a time where the number of cryptos out there had ballooned from a few to over a thousand in a very small window of time, with many obvious scams and large premines. I think lot of people simply saw the DUDE JUST TRUST US tier premine and immediately ignored it.

At the time I put a bunch of money in syscoin, and I was debating between that and eth. No idea why I didn't do both.
