Frankly, no. I don't want to hear anything about mr Butlerin until (a) Ethereum is a widely used & useful product and (b) the security agencies of the world declassify their involvement.

Until/Unless I can acquire and manage proper securities & options via one a decentralised ledger, I reamain thoroughly unimpressed by anything other than the marketing efforts of most crypto projects.

Also, a "new currency" would be bitcoin. So far mr Butlerin's major achievement IMO is convincing major financial actors of the merits of his platform. As a private person, I'll take btc/ltc any day over etherium.
