Why does ethereum need bitcoin as a "store of value" when it has ether? #TheFlippening isn't a maximalist thing it's a pragmatic thing.

>> No.1997581

I fucking hope so.

I'm sick of seeing shit like "Bitcoin IRA" and all these sites that rest entirely on Bitcoin and tell people to invest in it. The whole system is built on Bitcoin and idiots who are in love with its dinosaur technology, as well as boomers who have been sold into it as an amazing investment with no real understanding of it, think it's so goddamn strong. They think it'll never fail and are willing to put their whole life savings into it.

I want nothing more than to see it all burn and ETH take over. I want the Bitcoin companies to go bankrupt and these delusional fucks to get angry and worried.

I think Bitcoin crashing and burning wouldn't do much good for the confidence of Ether in the long run. I think it would be best for the future of crypto if they both continue to grow, but Ether slightly outpaces Bitcoin. I think there's enough money on the sidelines still to make that happen.

I heard folks saying that when it was $48 - let me wait till it goes back to $45. Except it went passed $50 and now $54 is the floor. I bought more at $49 and $50 anticipating a rise and already up 10% thankfully because I didn't wait on a larger then 50 cent dip.

>Why does ethereum need bitcoin as a "store of value" when it has ether?
Because memETH is based on Turing Completeness which is an horrible store of value. Not to mention Proof of Vitalik risk at any moment due new DAOs.

You can still sell your profit for king BTC.

>>1997581
If bitcoin actually fails you'll see that the confidence in the crypto market will be gone forever.
The end of BTC's infallibility will bring the end of anyone's trust in the crypto market.
If BTC can simply disappear in a short time because ETH is "better" then so can ethereum as soon as some more advanced coin comes out.
Cryptocurrencies are, in fact, currencies, and people want to be able to put their money in them "safely" eventually.
They are not stocks, they're ways to store value and spend it. If they can never reach long term stability and any new coin can overtake the old ones making them crash, then ultimately crypto will have no practical purpose for 99% of people.

That said, this will probably never happen.

>dinosaur technology
Who cares? Why would a coin's success simply be a function of its "technology" which may as well be useless for 99% of purposes/people.
You're no better than the XMR fags who think XMR will replace BTC because it's "better". XMR isn't going anywhere but it won't replace BTC because
1. Not everyone cares about secrecy in payments
2. You can always easily convert in XMR, send, then convert back.
The same goes for ethereum. Save for the current issues with BTC transactions, which will be solved, there is no reason for people to use ETH as a store of value. Much like XMR it can be a tool and an investment, but there's no reason why it'd replace BTC in the long term.

BTC is being used as "digital gold" because compared to other cryptocurrencies it is a safer investment, it is accepted anywhere (anywhere crypto is accepted), it can be exchanged for other crypto easily if needed and it is the most "established" coin. All of these things are great to have and no technology improvement in other coins is going to replace it.
They don't matter. People like how simple BTC is. It just does what it should and that's it. The other coins will be useful for whatever features they have, and will keep being used for that.
