No one needs ethereum. It's a penny stock scam that sells the cure to whatever ails you to any willing solutionist that's looking to get rich quick.

You and ChrisDeRose have no regard for truth and certainly have no problem spreading FUD for your own gain. You don't truly care about crypto, decentralization nor freedom but only about counterparty and bitcoin going up for your own selfish gain. Hope you can sleep well at night.

Yes he is :) Here are some of my chief complaints about Ethereum atm: http://www.coindesk.com/turing-complete-smart-contracts/ (There are others.)

No, I'm Chris Derose.

I'm not Chris Derose, but I play him on TV.

I don't care about anything. I hate myself.

It's generally good advice to stop buying and promoting cryptocurrencies as investments. If you're a developer, learn how to use these tools to make better software for users. If you're not a developer, keep your money in your pockets and participate in the decentralization movement as an enthusiast—it's impossible for us to build good software without early adopters who are willing to give it a try.

Wow, that's a lot of mixed metaphors for a single sentence.

I agree there's a dearth of compelling, live applications on ethereum right now. However, the problem is caused primarily by the difficulty in developing robust decentralized autonomous systems, not in the lack of ideas or potential applications.

If only we could attach the EVM to an even more convoluted metacoin.
