it has to happen ,most of the anti crowd are pimping alt coins anyway that have no signifigant value
almost everything an alt can do ,btc can be programmed to also do ......

+ the benefits of being first and having all the mainstream retailers on board.........that shit takes years to get done

nobody wants 600-700 new altcoins to handle transactions deemed to be "small"

just fork the new software already and people will start downloading it and wont even notice the differnce

the network isnt going to jump from 33GB to 1000GB+ overnight ,that would take millions and millions  of transactions, this argument is just stupid .......
