This is more like buying stocks in horse companies (btc) vs car companies (alts) in 1880. All the car companies are scams right now, and might be useful but they are too far off and won't be adopted by regular consumers.

Sorry to say but people who think BTC is "outdated tech" is completely fucked retarded when it's the literal opposite. The first most secure system in the world with no single point of failure (inb4 retards who say china control miners when they dont even understand the concept of a mining pool).

It doesnt matter what it runs on. The ethereum blockchain has proven to be secure and reliable and its 100 times better than what bitcoin has. If something bettet comes they will switch to that.

Bitcoin has a first mover advantage and because of that you BTC maxis falsely believe its a commodity.

Give me a break it will never be a commodity it will be remembered as the Netscape of crypto in 20 years.

BTC and ETH networks are not even comparable in security, no group of people could even attempt to 51% the BTC network, with ETH this is actually probable (also it was heavily premined).

Don't forget ETH has figured heads and is still linked to society by its organization which has control over ETH ultimately (think about the first hard fork).

ETH isn't truly decentralized and freedom respecting, if they can fork their shitcoin from a hack they'll fork anything they want.

What's meant by SOV is partially a network effect... You can't just say "theoretically some other crypto could also be the SOV"... Well you can say that but it doesn't mean anything, as it's a group consensus thing. Look up the meaning of "Schelling point".
