The blockchain is 80 GB bigger than Bitcoin's, and the scaling issue has no current solution, in fact, Dapps still cannot work well because of this. To make things even worse, people are starting to question the real world use of Ethereum, and the reason is that Eth wasn't created to be a store of value in the first place, it's only a platform to run smart contracts and Dapps.

I'TS NOT A COMMODITY, IT'S NOT A CURRENCY, IT WAS NEVER MEAN TO BE ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

Plus:
- ICO scams non stop.
- Vitalik going ape shit on twitter for no reason.
- It's been 4000% pumped only this year.

TL;DR: Ethereum is not doing what it's supposed to do, and when heavy investors realize that, there will be a fucking real crash.

Once again, Ethereum is in it's alpha/beta stages and has experienced exponential growth that exceeds its current capacity.

Developers have a clear road map for implementing a fix to the scaling issue via the Metropolis fork which should be implemented in the upcoming months and have already began planning for sharding, see - vitalik.ca/files/basic_sharding.html

As for ICO's, they're a waste of money. But it's not ethereums fault, it's the user's FOMO and the unrealistic standard that all crpytos experience 1000% growth so ill informed nocoiners through everything they can into them with the hopes of getting rich.
I agree with you that Eth is not meant to be a store of currency, however you can see every single crypto being treated as such. To be honest, it's not even used as a store of currency. It's price is speculative based on it's future applications as Web 3.0

They're already working on a solution where the blockchain itself would be distributed across the network, though. There's no reason that every node has to store the entire blockchain locally, it's just how it was set up during the original development.

Long term, the fact that the blockchain stores every single API call to every DApp ever probably will be a problem, though.

there's plenty of shit coming up that will solve these kind of issues, raiden will enable 1 million transfer per second, sharding will cut the blockchain storage space down to a fraction and give more scalablity, so will state channels and proof of stake

The mining difficulty would adjust so that blocks containing the large number of transactions would still be completed within the block time specification. Confirmations would probably be a little slow, though. Instead of waiting 2-3 additional blocks for confirmation to go through, you might have to wait 4-5.

Sharding and keeping network wide consensus is scientifically infeasible. That's the kicker.

I have said this a bunch of times already, but I'll say it again: BTC value was acquired over time because it proved to be a reliable and trustworthy currency, it survived and increased its value even after all these years in a extreme volatile market. The growth of BTC was healthy and organic, while the growth of ETH was too quick and based on hype rather than what ETH actually managed to do.

If you want a long term investment, BTC is still the only way to go. It was like that 8 years ago, it was like that 2 years ago and it is like that now. As long as crypto keep growing BTC will grow, because it's literally the pillar that sustain the whole thing. ETH is just hype, it it falls, it won't take the market with it.

But doesn't the CAP theorem mean that fully secure distributed systems are impossible, and so sharding is futile?

The CAP theorem is a result that has to do with distributed consensus; a simple statement is: "in the cases that a network partition takes place, you have to choose either consistency or availability, you cannot have both". The intuitive argument is simple: if the network splits in half, and in one half I send a transaction "send my 10 coins to A" and in the other I send a transaction "send my 10 coins to B", then either the system is unavailable, as one or both transactions will not be processed, or it becomes inconsistent, as one half of the network will see the first transaction completed and the other half will see the second transaction completed. Note that the CAP theorem has nothing to do with scalability; it applies to any situation where multiple nodes need to agree on a value, regardless of the amount of data that they are agreeing on. All existing decentralized systems have found some compromise between availability and consistency; sharding does not make anything fundamentally harder in this respect.

It depends on the problem you are trying to solve.

Satoshi (Minister you, Satoshi) solved an incredibly difficult problem in one of the most creative ways possible. It does what it's supposed to do, which is keeping a decentralized ledger up to date by the transformation of electrical power into number crunching, and rewarding those who keep the network healthy.

Ethereum is a decent proposition ( if dapps were real and semi-complex smart contracts more useful beyond ICO scams), but it's not doing what's supposed to do, so it's a stupid speculative thing.

I think the Bitcoin + Segwit + RSK + Lightning combo is an excellent candidate to be not Facebook, but the definitive Google of cryptocurrencies.

honestly every crypto is stupid as fuck, other than the initial idea of bitcoin. why do we need all these coins? they have no value beyond speculation, it's like trading pokemon cards which is why you nerds all love it so much. muh supercomputer, muh decentralised cloud. yeah, none of that shit works irl because it's all so convoluted to use. most of the faggots coming here make threads asking shit they could google in 10 seconds, how the fuck is a normie going to navigate buying, storing and using all of these shitcoins?

ONE coin, that's all a real person would want to deal with, otherwise it's like walking around with a wallet stuffed full of supermarket loyalty cards.

remember when 1 month ago ethcucks were screeching about bitcoin maximalists being out-of-touch grandpas, the flippening, and some other shit that was clearly jealousy of early BTC holders?

Someone who knows a little about internals of ETH:
1. Blockchain is just around 80GB

If you fast sync, it will be ~10GB

Metropolis is the implementation of proposed solutions. If you want the nitty gritty details, dig here:

>people are starting to question the real world use of Ethereum
Let me give you a hint - nobody knows what the killer ethereum app will be. Personally I'm convinced it will be used for automation - automated taxis, automated tenancy (theres already a startup on this), etc...

>TL;DR: Ethereum is not doing what it's supposed to do, and when heavy investors realize that, there will be a fucking real crash.

there is no tradeoff, just retard blinded by FOMO buying into scam ICOs without doing the necessary research. Both Bancor and Status are obvious scams for anyone who understand blockchain technology, what normies are interested in, and read their whitepapers.

So ETH is overvalued, but once scam ICOs die down and we get serious DApps that use the Etherium network it will rise again. Might be a year or more before that happens, but it will be above 400 again in the future.
