I have to ditto this - ether is not primarily a transaction-oriented crypto-currency. While you can technically use it for transactions or as a store of value, there are alternatives out there that exceed it on both counts.

ETH is really a medium to facilitate smart contracts and dapps, with ETH the fuel used to power their use on the 'virtual computer'. Any trading/speculation and use for transactions will play a secondary role.

yeah at least I just wanted to get an opinion in this case, thanks
