&gt; Give me any ethereum use-case &amp; I&#x27;ll tell you how to do it with bitcoin.<p>I&#x27;m failing to see your point.  Does the fact that things are possible with bitcoin make the technical merits of Ethereum less in some way?<p>&gt; What I do not like in ethereum is the nature of origin of ether which makes it just an IPO coin.<p>The &quot;makes it just an IPO coin&quot; statement also seems to discount any of the technical merits of the platform due to your dislike of how the initial coin distribution occurred.<p>Disclaimer: I stand to benefit financially if the platform succeeds.
