Comparison BTW great Bitcoin and Ethereum

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Think of bitcoin as DOS and ethereum as Windows or Mac OS. There is nothing wrong with DOS. It came first and was an essential part of the computer's success.

Us geeks grew up on **DOS**, but computers only went mainstream when **Windows** and **Mac OS** appeared. **DOS** is difficult to learn, tricky to program and few applications ever ran on it. Windows and **Mac OS** support and encourage applications to be built and are ultimately easier for people to use.

Ethereum is like **Windows** and **Mac OS**, and as a result, developers are creating applications in the thousands.

It feels like the internet boom in 2000. Thousands of new companies are sprouting up with highly innovative business models and bleeding edge compliance with regulation, and new methods are being found to finance them. Most, like Pets.com and Webvan, will fail. But some will be the next Amazon, eBay, or Google of the blockchain generation.


But with its proven stability and exceptional immutability, don’t bitcoin’s developers deserve the reverence that the rocketing price implies?

I wouldn't be quick to yes to this. They are so resistant to change that they’d rather give up all hope of serving the common man. Let's face it, bitcoin today is a product for an elitist few that can afford the high transaction fees. They have chosen a path to a technical dead end.
