Same conclusion. Still waiting for someone to explain a real world use case for ETH that doesn't involve supporting the fiat system.

Yup. Just seems like another way to gamble and speculate all while paying a fee along the way.
Yea the technology is useful but the token is gambling on your money.
Smart contacts? Automatic and immutable resolution of things like assurance contracts, prediction markets, insurance, etc...
I’ve heard “smart contracts” thrown around so much that it’s become a buzz word. Who is actually using smart contracts, and what are they? lol
“…yeah, smart contracts man…like when your money is in escrow…don’t you get it? It’s just smart man…” 😂
Exactly. I usually say, if they are useful (I have yet to see a good use case) I wouldn't trust them on a shit blockchain.
They also need some kind of oracle to confirm completion of the contract (unless it's a simple time lock). Those time locks already exist on bitcoin as far as I know...
