Ethereum Q&A: We are all blockchain weirdos

Is the antagonism between Bitcoin and Ethereum harmful? This is a natural process of mutation, fragmentation, bifurcation, and consolidation in a dynamic open-source environment. Keep in mind that the bankers and regulators think we are all blockchain weirdos; their protectionist instincts don't care about our ideological factions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any of the altcoins.

These questions are from the 'Internet of Money' tour events in Seattle, Washington, and Paseo La Plaza in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which took place on November 10th 2018 and January 29th 2019 respectively.
