Ethereum is an incredibly ambitious and exciting project. I really want Ethereum to succeed, and it probably will.

But it is easy to underestimate the widespread adoption and trust in Bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the standard cryptocurrency store of value. There may end up being 10 other globally useful blockchains, but they will all use Bitcoin as their base store of value and medium of value exchange.

It's already abandoned. There's no major players adopting it.

feel free to prove me wrong by posting ethereum adoption by Fortune 500 instead of downvoting.
