bros keep telling me to switch from btc but early 2025 just proved why bitcoin's security model is superior
been seeing a lot of posts lately about moving from bitcoin to eth for "higher returns" but honestly the recent events have me more convinced than ever that bitcoin's approach is the right one
yeah ethereum might pump harder sometimes but look what happened in early 2025 - billions got drained in that massive hack. meanwhile bitcoin's network just keeps chugging along like it has for 15+ years without a single successful direct attack on the protocol itself
the complexity argument is real. ethereum's got all these smart contracts and defi protocols creating endless attack vectors. every new feature is another potential way for someone to find an exploit and drain funds. bitcoin keeps it simple - peer to peer electronic cash, nothing fancy, nothing that can blow up in your face
and don't get me started on the regulatory stuff. sure ethereum got some wins with things like the genius act, but all that defi integration means way more regulatory surface area. one bad policy decision and the whole ecosystem could get hammered. bitcoin's just digital money - harder for governments to mess with without looking completely authoritarian
look i get it, ethereum has its place and the tech is impressive. but when people say "move from bitcoin to eth for gains" they're basically saying "give up the most secure, battle-tested network for something flashier"
not saying ethereum is going to zero or anything, but calling bitcoin "outdated" while ethereum is getting billions stolen feels pretty backwards to me
am i missing something here or does the security track record speak for itself?
