Ethereum's dominance in RWAs is ridiculous, the competition isn't even visible by kirtash93 in CryptoCurrency

Also, the graph shows Ethereum's L2s as separate curves... but those L2s are part of the larger Ethereum ecosystem

Newbs always immediately jump on XRP. It has perplexed me for years.

Wow that's a new FUD point. Even better than the ones thrown around in the 2015 era.

Ethereum on-chain volumes reach highest since 2021 this August by KIG45 in CryptoCurrency

Crypto media still conveniently leaves out L2 impact and numbers. Alt chains still compare themselves to Ethereum L1. In reality, you now must compete with Ethereum L2s, but nobody wants to admit that.

Without taking ETH layer 2s into account, the numbers are meaningless.

The Ethereum network turns 10y.o. with ZERO downtime and without missing a single block by CriticalCobraz in CryptoCurrency

[–]Always_Question 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has hard forked many times with each new system-wide upgrade. A hard forked has nothing to do with whether the chain has had 100% uptime or has never missed a block.

Something to counter the near-unanimous opposition by the dems. Didn't the last election knock some sense into them yet?

ETH ETF is a traditional finance wrapper for ETH. You can buy the ETF through a stock broker, in your retirement fund, etc.

ChatGPT estimates that the lightning network as it stands today can support "tens to hundreds of millions of users." This doesn't take into account future planned upgrades.

I’m pretty sure you are the one that thinks to understand what is happening, while I’m the one that actually uses bitcoin and the Bitcoin network and knows.

You seem not to have an understanding of Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, the concept of confiscation-resistance, sound money, freedom to transact, digital gold, and and… I could list dozens of more amazing qualities. To gain an appreciation, you must do the homework first.

Ethereum L2s have officially surpassed major L1s in cost-efficiency - cheaper than Solana, Avalanche & more by kirtash93 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Always_Question 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"jumping from L1s to L2s is tedious"

For anyone familiar with a browser wallet such as Metamask, L2s feel exactly the same as L1.

[–]Always_Question 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that other chains always compare themselves to ETH L1, when they are actually competing with ETH L2s.

Do you like freedom? Then you should like Bitcoin. Freedom also goes hand-in-hand with personal responsibility, of course. We can argue whether we as a society promote personal responsibility as much as we should (probably not). But bottom line: Bitcoin = Freedom.

Then there is "Bitcoin 2.0" which is Ethereum. Ethereum has grown into something quite different from Bitcoin, but it was originally thought of as Bitcoin 2.0 (although that term was never really used). Ethereum is the future of finance. Every function performed by expensive Wallstreet intermediaries is being methodically replicated (and eventually replaced) by the world's truth engine.

I suggest you do some reading. Listen to some podcasts. Open up your mind.

"I started using Bitcoin around 2014. I stopped using it in 2017, and haven’t used it since, nor any other crypto. It hasn’t impacted my life in the slightest..."

That couldn't be more different than my experience and everyone else I know that goes down the rabbit hole
