The logarithmic uptrend is broken on the five year chart. If you wanna zoom out, zoom out motherfucker. It's the scalability problem. It's gotta get a lot worse before it gets better (IF it gets better) because some people are so stupid, they require an extreme amount of pain before they learn anything.

You're not trading efficiency for censorship resistance. Majority mining power is concentrated in one country with a totalitarian government. The People's Bank of China has a million man army behind them and they could take over our network with a few phone calls. The only reason Bitcoins functions is because the ChiComs LET it function. That battle has already been lost. So smallblockers want to keep bitcoin from scaling for NO REASON!

So we're going down or sideways. If we go up, new users are attracted, blocks fill up, transactions slow down and get expensive, then we have to go down or face a network congestion failure.

They got us. The bad guys won. Subsidized electricity and consensus governance brought us down. Meanwhile a bunch of other cryptocurrencies are waiting in the wings to claim the prize we fucking threw away.

this is a proven phenomena. Their brains are coated with flouride and aluminum that they have lost 10% to 25% of their intelligence capabilities.. the sad part is they don';t know they are stupid... they have very bad memories too... i understand what you are saying.. it can be very challenging and frustrating to deal with such IQ deficient morons on a daily basis like we are forced to do.. once you accept that almost everyone is about 25% less intelligent than yourself then you learn to expect them to do stupid stuff. i mean really, we are talking about a lifeform that intentionally dumbs itself down and then poisons itself.

here is an example: "Hey guys bitcoin can't scale" .. eight months later: "Hey guys bitcoin can't scale" ..

it doesnt even register .
