> It's like critiquing Ethereum's community by pointing at Ethereum Classic
That's exactly what the article did.
Don't get me wrong; I think the article is very unfair and awful in many ways. I just thought that particular counter-argument wasn't valid. I think their point about ETC can't really be compared to the Bitcoin community splinters, since the point is about the DAO hack rollback. The block size debates were very controversial and heated, but not to the degree of the DAO hack incident.
Ethereum is the cryptocurrency I personally like the most, but I do find supporters tend to downplay just how controversial that incident was.
I think this is unfair. These are splinter communities. It's like critiquing Ethereum's community by pointing at Ethereum Classic and Binance Smart Chain.
>Personally, I think PoW may be what brings Bitcoin down in the long-term.
I pretty much agree with this part. I think it'll probably cause very serious issues for it over the next decade. I predict they'll actually eventually move off of PoW or drastically alter the PoW algorithm, but only after many years of infighting and stubborn refusal to consider the possibility.
