Maybe someone should go make a DPOS Ethereum fork and sharedrop 50% on Ether and 50% on BTS.
It wont have mining inflation so maybe it wont tank.
I was thinking of this, but the main issue would be to get competent devs to implement it; and especially roll out a better version with a useful GUI. If it shows enough promise you will find Ether holders quickly valuing this, as the market cap needs to be double for them to have the same stake, and maybe even much less than double considering the lack of inflation. If that happens, who knows, even the current Ethereum developers may switch as they have their own stake.
I am sure if BM and co. didn't have work (which they do and I doubt they will have any spare time), then with their experience (especially in the GUI front) they can make it.
