In defense of Ethereum's defense
I love how people talk trash on ETH as if it's a fail experiment. Last time I checked it has the number 2 market cap. That's because people understand that the DAO debacle was not necessarily a bad thing. It proved that in time of need a network should be capable of defending itself. Yes, the chances of other smart contracts being stop are slim to none but that one had to be stopped and and was stopped. The only reason we've never seen any other smart contract undergo the same ordeal is because we're never seen anything like Ethereum. Give the crypto space a few more years and you'll see the same thing happen over and over again in other smart contract networks. The ones who defend themselves are most likely to win simply because you can't bake in the fact actual people are at the heart of these networks and you can't guarantee miners won't fork in order to do what they see best for them. That's what this whole damn thing is built on for crying out loud. The ability to move and shake is what gives all crypto not just ethereum it's strength.
I know this is becoming old new but it is something to consider as ETH moves possibly into the $13.00 range.
