Can we get real for a second? Ethereum has no chance of taking on AWS or Microsoft.

Those are multi billion dollar business with billion dollar requirements in infrastructure investment on a yearly basis. Not going to happen.

I agree! But that's what Ethereum was pitched as.

Seems to me you're making invalid assumptions about what "world computer" means.

There's not a lot to go in in those two words, but claiming they mean Etherium is out to capture all (or any) of AWS's customers is a _very_ long stretch.
