IMPORTANT: Ethereum is accurately considered a scam by virtually all developers who didn't print majority of supply for their own profit and control (~70% in Eth). Centralized centrally printed ethereum is quite literally designed as the exact opposite of Bitcoin, altcoins, and all decentralized technology. There are simply no rational or ethical people promoting something this incredibly obviously falsely described.

Feel free to ask any monero, bitcoin, decred, sia developers, or even the guy who invented smart contracts (Nick Szabo) about why they avoid anything like Ethereum at all costs.

Many examples of irrational and unethical things in a world of Ethereum, a network of choice if you think math and logic is too hard: np.reddit.com/r/ethereumfraud/

tldr: There is no such thing as an intelligent ethereum supporter

Yeah this is just untrue FUD.

Here is a list of 359 large companies and robust projects who are building on Ethereum: https://twitter.com/adamscochran/status/1217524744909660162?s=21

This audit thread also discusses why the centralized pre-print narrative is nonsense. Especially points #2, #14, and #15. https://twitter.com/adamscochran/status/1255332319180840960?s=21

Ultimately a company with the resources and expertise of Reddit would audit any technology they build on and wouldn’t build on something that was considered a scam by “virtually all developers” - that is just an irrational claim.

In crypto we have the challenge of “maximalists” just like in politics where people are on extreme ends of the spectrum and assume there is no middle ground or nothing that the other side has right.

There are lots of cryptocurrencies and lots of blockchain technologies, and different ones serve different purposes and have different pros and cons. Sure some don’t produce any clear value currently, but, Ethereum isn’t one of them.

Being a maximalist is like telling people they don’t need to buy a car because they already have a house.
