People are going to switch to LTC. It's BTC except with this issue already sorted.

>> No.2074407

So let's think this through. Bitcoin's processing time gets larger. People switch to another currency that will transfer faster. Bitcoin processing times decrease as the load is shifted somewhere else. Bitcoin starts transferring faster, people start moving it around again.

Im not going to start worrying until another coin ends up being what everyone trades against.

that's just what they say because a network that can only run double digit transactions per second isn't a currency. it's a toy

ethereum is as much of a "currency" as bitcoin. in fact, it's more of a currency because it does 20 tps vs bitcoin's 3 tps

>BTC will die a slow death once people realize that nothing is being done about the unconfirmed transactions and high fees.

It won't and here is why:

- Once less people use BTC, it gets faster. So more people start using it until it gets slow again. Rinse and repeat.

- Once the critical mass is reached people will just be forced to adopt segwit or whatever client improves the situation. It just has to go to total shit and then people in general are ingenious at coming up with solutions.

Just wait, it is gonna be fine.

Most people buying bitcoin do not give a shit about transaction times or fees. Most of them probably don't even understand what a blockchain is.

you're a damn fool if you think ether can replace bitcoin

let me give you a quick rundown
60 million coin premine
12 millioin coins given to developers
changed consensus at first sign of trouble (DAO)
no limit for total number of coins in circulation currently at 91.5 million
centralized foundation that decides what direction to go, what do you think will happen if the CIA met with vitalik?
the CIA met with gavin andresen and went full retard trying to claim craig wright was satoshi

from ethereum.org
Ether is to be treated as "crypto-fuel", a token whose purpose is to pay for computation, and is not intended to be used as or considered a currency, asset, share or anything else.

there hasn't be a meaningful DAPP in ethereum's existence

they claim they're going to switch to PoS
no one knows when or how it's going to work

I can go on and on, but ethereum will never replace bitcoin
in fact I wouldn't be surprised if ETC passes ETH in marketcap one day

You didn't read the image. Once it becomes impossible to transfer bitcoin due to the backlog, people will transfer their btc to alts. Ethereum is the largest alt (ripple isn't a cryptocurrency) and will see a huge increase.

>>2075754
Ether has faster transaction times and lower transaction fees, like 1/100th of the fees

Doesn't mean shit if it wasn't meant to be currency, a lot of world changing inventions were meant to do one thing and were used for another thing (i.e. dynamite, gun powder, wd-40)

Investors have the money no matter how stupid they are, I'd like to know why ETH is hovering around 90 and has been since a high price despite such a huge supply. The only thing I can think of is that a lot of people with money are buying and holding ETH on purpose to drive up the price.
Market cap is about the same as XRP right now, over 8 billion. I know market cap is just the circulating supply times price, but I can't figure out how the price got there.

Here's an example of an exponential breakaway problem. USD has the same problem with it's levels of debt, but they're playing hot potato with that. The problem is worse here because USD doesn't require every transaction be confirmed beforehand.

Think about this, it needs to play catch-up, but in order for that to happen in an exponential curve it would need to reduce a certain number of times -before confirmation rates stop happening further into the future from initiation time-, then it can start playing catch-up by reducing even further. What do you see instead? More and more of the world is using BTC.

This is going to be a problem until the currency is essentially used without verifications, and there will be scammers who take advantage. Watch out for that.

Oh so does Ethereum have a flexible blocksize that scales smoothly according to demand?

No, it does not. Monero and Aeon have that though. Also they're private, which Ethereum is not.
