That's why you should stick to Bitcoin, not Ethereum. While I find the problems and musings of the Ethereum crew fascinating, I have started to wonder if it is the crypto equivalent to a planning economy: they'll just add patch after patch to fix thing that are not fixable, making the system more and more complicated.

I understand Bitcoin (in principle), it is not that hard to understand. I don't understand most of Ethereum.



Bitcoin is a stagnant ecosystem. It’s not useful for everyday monetary transactions, and the developer community is too conservative to introduce features that would allow scaling up meaningfully (lightning is insufficiently decentralized)
