Former BTC millionaire’s choice is Monero, but no Ethereum?
Peter McCormack begins with the words “I am kind of a Bitcoin maxi” and continues by saying, “I mean, my life’s work is dedicated to Bitcoin, that’s all I do.” The former Bitcoin millionaire states that he does not care about Monero (XMR), that he can see scenarios where he will use Monero because he is not that technically proficient, and therefore it is quite difficult for him to get privacy with Bitcoin right now, he says that if he wanted to buy some things, he would prefer to use Monero. Peter McCormack continues:
As some people know, I don’t like Ethereum. I see some benefits of these other Blockchains if you want to run a stablecoin, I get it. And stablecoins can be useful. Some people in some countries want the dollar, not just Bitcoin.
What’s the former millionaire’s problem with Ethereum?
“My problem with Ethereum is when it tries to compete with Bitcoin, I have a fundamental problem with it for a number of reasons,” says Peter McCormack.
If you want to have the best money in the world ever. The country wants to make it legal currency and countries want to add it as a reserve asset. You know, people all over the world want to keep it. It is very, very important that you trust that money will be hard money. So what do we mean by that? So monetary policy (for Bitcoin) will not change. It hasn’t changed at all. 21 million tokens.
The Bitcoin maximalist said, “We know that with Ethereum, monetary policy has changed several times. If you want the best money in the world, don’t want this change”. Peter McCormack explains his second problem with Ethereum as follows:
Second, you want to be maximally decentralized to achieve this. It should be simple. You need to be able to run a node, anyone can run a node. And I know there has been some discussion about that. But let’s be honest, full archive or node. I will not do this. So ETH is not a solid coin compared to BTC. It just isn’t.
“Bitcoin is the strongest, most pristine asset in the world”
The former BTC millionaire points to Bitcoin, stating that he does not deal with Shitcoins:
Like what does it mean? Bitcoin is the strongest, most intact asset in the world, give me as much as you can. It’s like the best investment, the strongest money, the most important technology for the world all in one.
