Simplest? Yes. Smartest? No.
Perhaps. Some claim that's a good thing.
Will be ready in Two Weeks™©. Welcome to Bitcoin

P.S. How's that Water World project of yours going?

No, you can do what Elmer does: Sell it in the street for filthy fiat & make money. And convince your landlord to take ETH instead of government scrip.
Mass acceptance doesn't happen all by itself, we need to make it happen. Why would stores start accepting ETH if no one is willing to spend it?


If people use it as a store of wealth, it's a store of wealth. Also a great investment vehicle, USD price went up by ~1,000% (one thousand percent) in 2016 alone. Pretty good compared to BTC, no?

Fixed supply is neither here nor there, that's BTCeanie thinking, totally early 90s. BTCeanies supply is limited, as is BTCBTCQ coins, as is 100s of other dead coins. How's that value doing?

Not promoting ETH, just answering why people may want to get paid in ETH, and clearing up the mechanics of mass adoption.
I understand you feeling bitter about ETH outperforming bitcoin, but that's what happens to a disruptive technology when it fails to evolve for 7 years. It stops disrupting and becomes lame, like PalmPilots
Why not try improving bitcoin, instead of just being surly?

... and those who sold at $560 or more

Please consider reading before typing. It's not that hard

And yet you're euphoric that your beetcoins are worth almost as many piles of shit today as they were yesterday

Also draws on basically the same pool of investors.
Also why bitcoiners get so upset when BTC is compared to Beanies: Beanies cheapen artificially limited supply, Bitcoin's only positive distinguishing feature vis-a-vis ETH

Where do you see a problem? Grover (Elmo? whatever his name is) convinced his landlord to take BTC

Other than Elmer's landlord (purportedly) accepting BTC, I know of exactly no landlords that do.
That said, Etherium is less than 2 years old. Tell me how many landlords were accepting BTC back in 2011.

>ETH is fuel for a vehicle
No. ETH simply has features which BTC does not. Think of BTC as a Model T, and ETH as a 911 with AC. Having air conditioning might be a pussy move for a 911, but having AC makes it no less of a car, and it'll still blow your Model T into the weeds with the AC blasting. Get it?

>You must be getting really scared
As scared as I get when I pass up buying a lotto ticket, which is to say "not at all."
You're being retarded, JJG. Stop being retarded.

>bitcoin is much more than limited in supply [...] a decentralized storage of value that is both secure and immutable
Wow. So many nights I lay awake, whispering into my tear-soaked pillow "if only there was a way to store my value in a fashion that's both decentralized and immutable!"

>the first ever digital currency that solved the double spend problem... without asking for permission...
And Ford's Model T was the first commercially successful mass-produced car. Percentage of the car market currently held by Model T? Zero. Zero percent.
Because, like beetcoin, Model T's primitive, embryonic technology, failing to change with the times, is now a relic. A depressingly dull curiosity that boring old farts who can't afford real vintage cars own, God knows why they even bother. Sound familiar?
 
Oh, for plain old boring transportation, we got ETH better cars now

>Regarding the landlord
Stop being a lazy sperglord and read before typing, k?

You are incoherent. and wordy.
You are retarded. And annoying.
Does it really take so many words to be retarded? How is it that other retarded kids manage to be terse, Huh?
Yet every once in a while, you have your moments of lucidity.

Europol: Bitcoin accounts for over 40% of criminal-to-criminal online payments
Stay in denial.

FTFY.
They don't get buyer protection or cash back CCs offer, but hey, free munyz
I'm glad we agree re. bitcoin's primary use.

Scammers have already started trying to exploit Orlando shooting for bitcoins

You're confusing block reward with network security. We can opt to end block reward (change the reward schedule, drop it to zero) right now, and it would still cost 25BTC every ten minutes to secure the network at the current level. At 20 trillion market cap, that would be $500,000,000,000,000 every 10 minutes. That's a $3e.16 every hour, which is a nice chunk of cash

Err, I believe the least reliable bitcoin news source, news BTC? When I click on the "source" link at the bottom of that article, I get http://www.antaranews.com/berita/563955/26-persen-konsumen-indonesia-jadi-korban-penipuan-daring.
Which is not to say that 3% is not an astoundingly high number for a currency that handles ~.000001% of internet transactions.
Stay deluded.

Nah, the other criminals are using fiat payment options. Which does not imply that having 6495 murders in your mom's basement every year makes it a safer place than the country of United States, where a whopping 16238 are killed every year.
Analogously, 40% of all c2c payments for a currency as tiny as BTC is fucking mind-boggling. Which is not to say bad.
So come on, Duke, let's go do some crimes. Yeah. Let's go get sushi and not pay.

Check out the big brain on Brett! That's because fiat is roughly a billion times bigger than bitcoin. How many times does this need to be repeated?

I'm forced to conclude that either your mind has been ravaged by subpar DNM meth, or you're being willfully ignorant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and try to walk you through this.

1. Imagine yourself living in a trailer park called Bitlandia,
2. ...which consists of three dilapidated trailers and one cardboard box.
3. Roughly 6495 murders happen in Bitlandia every year.
4. Bitcoin social scientist BitBilly04676 posits that living in Bitlandia is safer than living in Unitted States of America, because in America, a whopping 16238 murders happen every year.

Do you find BitBilly04676's reasoning sound? Why/why not?

FTFY. Makes it a great currency for everyone else.
