Was thinking of a metaphor about blockchains and girlfriends
Bitcoin is this prude girl who blushes & gets overwhelmed when you touch her lap in church, only accepts missionary position, and obviously refuses to scale for every boy in town.
Ethereum is this dirty girl who does everything. And I mean EVERYTHING, with everyone… for the right price. The biggest problem is that she also doesn’t scale: she’s limited by the number of holes. Can get creative and try to find workarounds, but most of them involve searching for equally dirty lookalikes. Very exciting when you switch from Bitcoin, but you’re very likely to catch some infection.
Zcash is the girl who’s always vague. Reliable, always shows up. But you never know what she really thinks, you have no idea what she does for a living and whether she’s faithful or cheats on you. As soon as the date is over, she vanishes so you cannot follow her around. Has no problem showing up at your place, but you don’t know where she lives.
Monero is the World of Warcraft girlfriend. Only exists online, is always there for your guild raids and always available for virtual sex. However, you’re not sure if the person behind the account is truly a girl or some sick dude. As a matter of fact, it might as well be a bot. But whatever she/he/it is, you’re always having a good time. If you’re a junkie, he/she/it can also recommend someone who’s selling what you’re after, with absolute discretion.
