I haven't spent much time on it and I have no good leads for program ideas yet, but if the code is buggy and I get hacked and lose my investment, that's fine. A smart contract is a project, and it could fail like any other. Don't put your retirement savings in a smart contract right now unless you're OK with losing it all. Maybe in the future Ethereum will move beyond this phase, and maybe not. All the drama is ridiculous, everyone needs to chill out."

This is the exact spiel we're all sick of hearing.

Why are you sick of hearing it? Why are you even in this thread? If ethereum is so dumb, why do you care so much?

because you're shilling for a pyramid scheme , and it's not even a secure pyramid scheme. the software its's built on is shit, from top to bottom.

The people writing programs on it are writing bad programs.. but even if they write them well the environment has vulnerability built into it .

>Why are you even in this thread?

You opened by explain how you clearly have an interest in this, you got in, and since you are saying you bought during a "decent dip" that means you only got in recently.

The rest of your post would be shilling only that you disclosed your interest.

So I would be shilling in a hypothetical scenario, and that's the problem?

OK, whatever. Have a nice day.

That's the problem yes, you bought into a pyramid scheme and you need others to buy in if you want to get out with more money.
