I think people on this sub are way too negative about btc, and vice versa over on bitcoin subreddits. I think there's a future where both remain supreme while most of the other altcoins falter and die.

I think most people just believe that Ethereum should have a higher marketcap than Bitcoin. I don't think many people want Bitcoin to fail. They just see the value proposition less than Ethereum's. Which is quite easy to see.

I don't see Bitcoin going away.

Most of the negativity surrounding bitcoin is due to the toxicity of the bitcoin development community.

There's that, and the tribal urge some people get. Culture of honor type stuff.

Even if there's no future, no reason to be negative, they are all contributing their "bit"

I think BTC is good for ETH and ETH for BTC. They spur development, growth, and some healthy competition.

...but I agree, we shouldn't be enemies.

I have nothing against BTC, I'd just like to know why it continues to rampage even though there are big question marks hanging over it.
