I know for a fact some of the Bitcoin core devs think Ethereum is a scam. And therefore projects built on top of Ethereum have to be scams too. You can’t build a business/protocol on top of a scam.
-
Sounds to me like those Bitcoin core developers should step out of their echo chamber once in a while. Ethereum, as well as Bitcoin, the USD or internet for that matter, is *used* for nefarious purposes. That makes none of these a scam though. The bane of uncensorable platforms?
-
The concern isn’t that Ethereum is used for nefarious purposes. All fungible currencies are. The concern is that it can’t scale securely and in a decentralized manner. If it is centralized it is censorable, in which case it is difficult to argue why a blockchain is needed at all.
-
Bitcoin suffers from the exact same lack of incentive for running a full node. Making it marginally more easy to run one is a bandaid at best I'd say.
-
"Marginally" being the key word here. Marginally easier won't make a difference. Significantly easier is the aim.
-
That is still fighting the symptoms rather than the cause. While a full node should obviously be runnable by regular hardware (definitions vary on the threshold), making it runnable on primitive hardware at the cost of fundamental usability is misguided. We can agree to disagree.
