Completely and utterly disagree. I transact with as many or more smart contracts on a daily basis than fiat transactions. Ethereum HAS become the World Computer, a place where I can gamble @ bitdice; which I own dividend-bearing security tokens for, deposit to a protocol @ compound to accrue interest on collateralized lending, borrow at similar techs like nexo, create and trade collectibles like crypto-kitties, play a variety of ETH-based games (Some of which are soulless money grabbers, admittedly, but there are cool projects in the works like https://hashrush.com/, trade securities at various exchanges, exchange to various fiats, etc. Ethereum has created, for the first time, a GLOBAL economy. An economy OF THE INTERNET.

I think anyone who speculated on price volatility to make a quick buck lost in this crypto-recession, yes, but you people are failing to understand that rising central bank interest rates are the real killer of your beloved price; The Dollar is gaining strength.

The REAL digital asset is the mining hardware to decentralize and secure the network. That’s where I’ve made the money, and you know what? @ 0.08Cents a KiloWatt I’m still making a buck!

And I’m not just withdrawing it, I’m participating in the digital ecosystem and Web 3.0 with Metamask. The future is Ethereum.
