.@drakefjustin: "I don't see how ETH could not flip BTC" Justin is asked: What's Ethereum? Is it a settlement layer? A world computer? Monetary network? He responds: "For me, this hasn't changed for many years. Ethereum is the Internet of Value." "In order to be successful as the Internet of Value you need very good money at the center of it because that will be the substrate -- the economic bandwidth -- that will allow you to build a lot of services (e.g. loans, stablecoins)." "In some sense, the success of the platform and the success of the money are tied at the hip. This is why I think those who are pushing for ETH as money are really helping the platform and vice versa -- those who are helping the platform are helping with ETH the money." "One of my theses is that we'll have winner-takes-most platforms. There's only one Internet. There's only going to be one Internet of Value that captures 90-99% of all economic activity. And just for weird, path-dependent reasons, we have Bitcoin that is the largest money right now. But I think this is a highly-unstable equilibrium for multiple reasons. And I think the best candidate to win the Internet of Value is by far Ethereum." @fede_intern adds to this point, "I was never convinced there was a chance of [Ethereum flipping Bitcoin] to be honest. But I'm getting convinced there's a high probability -- you [Justin] have played a part in convincing me because of the issuance (declining block subsidy) and now the post-quantum. I do think there's a high chance that ETH becomes the dominant economic substrate in the long-term. I don't see how proof-of-work could work long-term." Justin echoes this: "Unless there's some catastrophic failure of Ethereum, I don't see how Ethereum could not flip Bitcoin."
