Etherium lost me at hard forking :)
Otherwise, that whole thing is hard to predict, Steem do have the coolest blockchain ever, and no telling where is it gonna end :)

When Ethereum was released, I had just recently won around 1k$ or so on primedice (bitcoin gambling dice site) and I was busy spending that for a good while, so life had me distracted.. I guess liquor, beer, friends and women were just more appealing than a new crypto at the time! ;) I still only have a basic understanding of cryptos, anything beyond algorithms and ya lost me basically. Like I'm not truly fully sure what hard forking means to be honest! haha :P
Hard Forking (adverbial phrase)
Hard forks occur when a cryptocurrency updates the codebase of its full nodes in a way that renders previously built full nodes incompatible.
See, ethereum did a hard fork not to correct a bug, but to correct a "theft" that didn't break any of the currency's rules. The results were predictable.
Thank you for explaining that.. I would have to agree, that sounds pretty shitty..
