Why not both?

[Anonymous No.7507628]

Why does discussion of these 2 always lean heavily towards ETH and muh flippening or daddy BTC. There is room for both. What’s wrong with ETH being more of your cash/liquid crypto, and BTC being your savings account?

ETH Pros:
> Relatively fast transactions, low tx fee
> Smart contracts, still untapped potential
> Easy entry into shitcoins, good for trading

ETH Cons:
> Vitalik, Ethereum Foundations are central authority
> History of decisions made without consensus by central authorities (DAO for example)
> Doesn’t scale as well as we thought, see crytokitties or bancor ICO
> Unknown vulnerabilities within smart contracts

BTC Pros:
> Gold standard of cryptocurrency
> Most resilient network. BTC has survived literally everything and continues to be tested 24 hours a day.
> The only crypto truly decentralized crypto that nobody owns. Nobody can speak on bitcoins behalf. Nobodys death will destroy the future of Bitcoin. There are no Vitaliks, only Vers.
> There can never be another crypto created like bitcoin. Monetary interests and desire for influence is behind every new coin, the internet will never be that innocent again

BTC Cons:
> Network is too resilient for efficiency. Updates and improvement take unanimous consensus, very tough to get
> Normies are put off by the high price per coin which slows adoption
> Compared to newer cryptos, slower and more expensive TX. Segwit adoption is slow, LN effect remains to be seen.

These should be like 80% of your portfolio with the rest going into shitcoins for the easy gains

ETH is going to crash hard, and never recover

BTC already proved that it crashed but always recover

you're completely right OP

in reality both will survive for completely different purposes

bitcoin is a digital gold
ethereum is more for the technology of blockchain and investing in companies

both are for differnet things but both will survive, although I believe ETH and ERC20 tokens may dominate the market
