First off I really dig your style of writing, hard hitting on point, elegant yet when you start cussing I totally jump on board, you definitely get your point across. So in response, yes Ethereum is a hype machine, I do not have any and never will, ETH is an insult to blockchain, it makes people learn stupid shit for lame reasons, for example if you do not set your gas high enough to get into an ICO your funds will not go through because a bunch of wealthier vestors who are willing to pay thousands of dollars to get their transactions through are given priority processing. Then when the coin or token hits exchanges they sell it all off to do it again with the next one, they are not vesting in tech substance, they are vesting in greed and hype. For me the DAO event clearly shows, ETH was willing to sacrifice their primary principle, immutabily, for staying out of prison for publishing flawed code. What we all really need is coders to share with people how they feel about these projects because regardless of what the hype is, code is puddin. I see ETH falling in a blaze of glory, for selling out to corporate interests and lacking any substantial integrity, POS is a pipe dream, their platform will break when attempting to scale large enough then they will be replaced in market cap by antshares, who already has sidechain, so EOS to flop and fizzle as well.
