So lets say ethereum is successful...

Because it is gas.

also wondering this..
please some smartfag reply,

if I am interested in a project that is using ethereum but making their own coin and I think the project will be successful..

should I invest in ETC or the new coin or a?

will the new project make ETC more valuable or should I just invest in the new coin assuming the success of the project will pump this coin and not ETC?

thanks for the input!

Nothing. ETH is a dead meme. Everything with work as BTC sidechains.

Ether is going to become the token that secures the network in the future when the network moves to proof of stake. Vitalik is cutting out the jew miners from the equation so that only true holders can mine the network. No more selfish mining nonsense. Validators will have much more "money" at stake and their incentives will be aligned with the rest of the holders. Once the retard altcoin gamblers realize that ether is the only token (buttcoin has no utility other than everyone else agrees it's worth something cuz of muh network effects) with any actual utility, the price will 5x

By "secure", it means that the price of the token is directly proportional to the cost of attacking the network. If any serious institution wants to secure their shit on the ethereum blockchain, they'll buy/hoard ether and make sure no one can fuck with the network. Vitalik is going to be insanely rich if this all works out

Thanks for your insights. When I see these explanations I always get a feeling like the logic is going in circles with the price/security relationship, but I cant really explain it.
