If you are into the EEA, you should check it out its cousin, the Monero Enterprise Alliance: https://mea.business/
I've heard great things about their fungability.

#12> The EEA describes itself as a standards group designed to help enterprises build their own interoperable technology, mostly using private versions of the ethereum blockchain.
Ether price soaring right now, but isn't Master Card's bussiness direct competition of the public Ethereum blockchain as a payment system?

They were reportedly doing research about two months ago into using Ripple as a cross border payment solution.[0]
Circle is using Ethereum presently for cross-border payments.
It might be that they're investigating Ethereum for a similar purpose.

#15What are the advantages Ethereum has over Bitcoin, except faster transactions?
More capable embedded code that can implement interesting criteria to be enforced on transactions.
I'm just learning but are there any real world examples of this yet? any idea what % of transactions utilize this today?

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
a Turing complete scripting language for smart contracts that looks like Java
Looks like JavaScript
Actually there are languages outside of Solidity, lll (lisp like) is the most intriguing to me, and Serpent(python like), there is one more (which I am failing to recall).
But Solidity is the flagship language.

Better politics, internally and externally. Internally because the community isn't as hardcore. Externally because it hasn't been publicly associated with black markets the way Bitcoin has.

#19What are the advantages Ethereum has over Bitcoin, except faster transactions?
the developer experience and tooling is easier the bitcoin I believe, it has an official javascript api for its blockchain, and also has a framework/language (Solidity) for creating financial applications on top of it

Serpent is outdated; Viper is an up-and-coming replacement.
