Isn't Ethereum's success pretty much guaranteed because of all the ERC20 tokens?

At least a few of them are bound to be successful even in the unlikely case that ETH itself is not.

>he didn't panic sell
>liquidate him

That's like saying Ripple is bound to succeed because we use banks

Hm, no, not really. ETH is the basis for all tokens. So if even one token is successful it will keep ETH alive out of necessity.
Ripple is not the basis for banks, it's the other way around. Plus it's not even supported by all banks.

Why would that correlate to ETH itself having any value?

Because tokens use ETH.

If you look at it, ETH is a ponzi scheme as gives the birth to 'newer' 'better' tokens when in actual fact all its doing is luring more people to buy in thus inflating its price further. It'll fall apart when none of these tokens amount to anything.

you know its doom'd to fail because most people still compare it to BTC, unknowingly BTC is a currency and ETHEREUM is not.

Not when the American regulators restrict eth trading completely.

But the ERC20 tokens are as useless as Ripple.

Well, that's your opinion. Hypothetically if they aren't would I be correct?
That's true for the whole market.
Why should they?

>hypothetically if a few businesses use Request Network then it will be successful
>hypothetically if a few casinos use FUN then it will be successful
>hypothetically if ERC20 tokens were useful ETH will be successful

Sure, but there's no guarantee any one of those tokens will ever be used for anything

Since that post ETH has gone 150x. How can I believe anything it says?

Epic, but ETH is way faster than BTC so who cares

if you try hard enough, you can believe anything

For now Ethereum has a lot of development going on and is safe because it's required for tokens (even only if the market is used for speculation).
It's all still very young.

That was basically the whole idea behind making a coin that is a platform, rather than being restricted to one use-case, yes.

Adding further to this, individual we might be making x10 or whatever, but in reality you're making some scammer a millionaire.
Not necessarily, there are other currencies on the market. The problem with BTC's image is, its designed to give the global elite the middle finger. It's literally the coin that goes against the grain (banks etc). This doesnt help it gain mass adoption. Look at the media, they never spin BTC in a good light, however, other crypto's get shilled.

Or until the next meme platform comes along
