ERGO - Spiritual Successor to BTC or Just Another Shitcoin ?
0 sats \ 8 comments \ @weatherall 28 Sep 2022 bitcoin outlawed
Will there be only ONE ? Maxi or Multi-Chain World ? Why ? Why Not ?
Personally , I would tend to err on the side of BTC Maxi , but , if there was one coin I thought MAY be able to CO-exist , it's ERG... Tech and Team of ERG are my main reasons for being in this conundrum... They both seem quite good . POW . Fair Launch . Moving Fast . More work than marketing going on .
Seems to be gunning for the GPU miners chain of choice after ETH POS grift...
Thoughts ?

Please don't do shitcoining. It's a sin. There's no second best, ONLY BITCOIN.
Stop this stupid madness bullshit with "bitcoin successors"... Is not going to happen!

To be fair , the words "spiritual successor" were uttered by Hosk... whether thats good or bad I'll leave to you ...
Successor means replacer so that's not how I am thinking of it ... just wondering people's position on Multi-Chain ...
More importantly , I would like to hear some REASONS to support any declarations . The point here is to learn the reasons why people are thinking the way they are...

The longest chain is the most important chain. Why should we all move to a blockchain with less history and less transparency? Bitcoin is already young enough. If there is anything useful about your shitcoin, Bitcoin can adopt its useful features.

Technically, there are many chains which are longer than BTC. They have second-long blocktimes, for example. Its the "cumulative weight" of the PoW that makes BTC superior.

Mind = blown
But isn't BTC still technically longer in human-made time, seconds, minutes, than any other POW blockchains? That's what I always understood it to be, the first successful cryptocurrency.

It's the oldest time chain, yes. But many digital currencies using cryptography existed before BTC.
Some were even successful enough to get banned by the state. Some, like hashcash, even used PoW.
But the fact that Bitcoin is oldest and still on top of the game is very Lindy

How long do you reckon before BTC adopts these potentially "useful features"?
How long before the masses notice ?
How long will shitcoins persist ?
Even Monero ?
