Very pleased with the work Vitalik, pays his money to the winners of the hack tests, a very responsible approach to work. ETH is not Komodo, hackers all over the world are interested in it, the update should be tested for years! In this part, in a very good position ETC, he always first looks at the events with the ether. I want buy, but he has a high risk of attack 51, Nicehash can rent, this the only thing that restrains.  Some exchanges of course protect themselves from attack, for example Bittrex first transfers the user's Deposit to another account and it first waits for 80 confirmations, only then the ETC appears on the user's balance

The whole financial market is in a blood bath. Stocks and bonds are down. It took bitcoin down with them. We'll have to wait if there is hope that hot money will come to crypto.

I think he is talking about it.
cryptocurrency is changed to fiat, and paid at grocery.

Vitalik posted the address of his wallet, it is clear that the network is well decentralized, the creator has of a small proportion of coins only

Yeah, it's all fine and understandable but to adopt the market we need the whole ecosystem to improve. We need volatility to attract more traders and later we can be less volatile when we would have at least 1/5 from forex market

Speed transaction has nothing to do with coin adoption/popularity. There are some technologies that could be implemented in bitcoin without changing block time (0-conf, Lighting Network)..or he has more hidden address which he didn't disclosed to the public 

but ether was not designed to become a payment method, ethereum is a smart contract platform, bitcoin is a base layer protocol
in the near future we will see what crypto payment coin/protocol will have a mass adoption
ethereum itself will not be, mybe some other dapp build on ethereum ofcourse, but there are lot of dapps platforms where you can build your crypto payment solution

Bitcoin is the best coin to protect against hackers, because it is time-tested, Komodo is the best coin in technology, and ether is the golden mean   

Have you heard about the ASIC miners made by Bitmain and Innosilicon?
