RE: Is crypto space MATURE ENOUGH for another BULL RUN? Let me share my concerns ...

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Hi Piotr, when I said that Bitcoin seems bland in terms of their technological advancements I was referring to the fact that the chain is so big and important that it can't risk adopting any exciting new feature. Take for example Ethereum, they are starting the transition to PoS, which is cool and has numerous advantages over PoW. Since they are the second biggest chain they also can't afford mistakes so they have a 3 years plan to transition, right?

Bitcoin however will probably never transition to anything more performant than PoW because the community will oppose it. And by the community I mean all the companies that poured millions of dollars in Bitcoin. Such a drastic change won't ever happen because investors value stability more.

Honestly I'm glad that Ethereum started transitioning now, because they'll soon become the new Bitcoin in my opinion and processing only 12 transactions per second would have been an absolute nightmare for them.

Hi @alexbalan

I only realized that I've never read your reply (somehow I didn't notice your comment) till now.

I don't think it may happen. For reasons you've mentioned above. Bitcoin will be still a store of value, and ETH isn't considered store of value (neither is any other alt). Wouldn't you agree?

Thanks for always being so responsive buddy
Yours, Piotr

I see none as a store of value, they don't seem to behave like gold for example. In my original comment I was actually thinking about Bitcoin and Ethereum as platforms rather than coins. What I meant was that Ethereum, in my opinion will become the number one platform for anything crypto and it will see a lot of attention from companies. I also think that beginners will start with the Eth platform rather than Bitcoin when they first enter the crypto space. I think that this is already happening to some degree
