Right, it wasn't a criticism of the technology itself. I think it's a very flexible platform with a lot of potential uses. It's the backing by the global elite that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I feel could leave plenty of opportunity to burn investors by opening up the market to people who normally wouldn't have considered getting into the crypto game. I feel as if they're temporarily adopting this technology until they can hire their own engineers who can create the same thing, and then when they pull out all of the people who got behind it are going to get burned, at least until it builds itself back up again.

Everyone in the cryptocurrency community has been ranting and raving about "mass adoption" since the beginning, but when it actually starts approaching people seem to want to run away.
Governments and global corporations showing interest in Ethereum does not mean they will in any way actually invest in it. In most cases they are developing private chains to convert their own currency into a blockchain based digital currency like we are seeing in countries like Russia, United Arab Emirates, and China. However, the reason they are looking into Ethereum so much is because many of these new digital currencies will be interchangeable with ERC-20 tokens. Ethereum will always be independent.
