Dear Aileen,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thank you for taking the time to read my work and for posting a response. I agree with you, at least as the record now stands, Ethereum has been the only protocol to actually prove its use case beyond mere theory and beyond pure speculation (Bitcoin). In terms of a decentralized global computing platform, I would think that it’s the best step (so far) in the right direction. I too hope that they will survive the bubble, but only time will tell.

Yours,

Patrick
