RE: Community Discussion - If BTC gets Smart Contracts WIll ETH die ?

Eth came after BTC and have manged to build an environment for way more applicable use than just merely being a currency or store of value. BTC is older tech and will however remain relevant as the first and perveived to be possibly most decentralized and secure cryptocurrency.

Furthermore, BTC is yet to solve the scalability issues. The launch of smart contract on the BTC blockchain isn't much of big news. It's already being done by Eth and many other competing cryptocurrencies whose blockchain were built from ground up to specifically support smart controls contracts and other protocols needed for high scale use.

The news of BTC launching or rather supporting smart contract will have almost no consequences on the development of smartcontracts on the eth platform.
