what exactly is etherium, is it just like bitcoin 2
-F
if bitcoin is so bad, why is there a bitcoin 2
-(another) F
@Felthry 1) basically, yeah, same tech, just with a different name
2) some people wanted a cryptocurrency that wasn't bitcoin I guess? No idea why you'd want a cryptocurrency in the first place
@Felthry 1) It's a cryptocurrency, so, yes.
2) Someone saw what bitcoin was doing to make people rich, went "I wanna be rich too!", and well people in general are bad at thinking about complex systems like those responsible for anthropogenic climate change.
@Felthry Yeah, as far as I can tell, it's just bitcoin with random extra features glued on for shits and giggles.
Cryptocurrency
@Felthry there's a bunch of cryptocurrency variations. Anyone with the technical knowledge could create a rebranded bitcoin if they wanted to. I wish they would all go away
