"caps" are short term hypes, they are not definition of blockchain. Say, Ripple is not a blockchain at all. Try critical thinking, highly recommended.

This seems unnecessarily combative.

Sorry, I got very annoyed hearing price arguments. We need to stop caring about price and see what's underneath.

Yes, saying "ethereum failed" without refutation, out of the blue, when plenty of evidence shows otherwise, is not annoying at all.

As a blockchain. As a Ponzi scheme (and platform to run them) it's wildly successful.

You may have a point about the space but don't resort to insults like the last sentence. I think you also have a lot to prove when saying Ethereum has failed v Bitcoin.

I said specifically as a resistant blockchain, and gave a clear metric why. And not vs Bitcoin, which also isn't in great shape.
