There seems to be some intention in this article to neutralize some of the pumpy and hype of Ethereum, DAO and to kind of equate "Blockchains"...
In other words, it seems to fail to recognize a true superiority of bitcoin and the fact that a lot of alts and a lot of private "blockchains" are engaging in deceptive practices because they are trying to ride on the coattails of bitcoin while failing and refusing to either give bitcoin proper credit nor to couple their investments into the bitcoin ecosystem.
Bitcoin is very likely to win out in the end, even while some of these folks seem to engage in false equivalencies and distractions.... at the same time, on a positive note, likely various bitcoin developers can likely learn from some of the "innovations" to the extent that there are any that materially matter of various competing blockchains.
I'm not that kind of person who is happy at other's failures and disasters, but I'm happy for what we are in and believe at is making out (Bitcoin and devs I mean).
It made me sad, and I think you've witnessed this yesterday, when the wall observer thread turned into a battlefield like the one between r/bitcoin and r/btc on reddit.
The time have came
again, to thank the
devs for what they are making for us, most of us
became and
become millionaires or simply rich. because of
them.
There are a lot of folks contributing to bitcoin space, and we all know that bitcoin is intended to be trustless.
Sure, there are likely a lot of core devs that stepped up to the plate to prevent various kinds of sabotoging of bitcoin, but in the end, it is not just a system of core devs.. at least, I don't think of it that way... even though sometimes I am also grateful when I see some of them standing up and pointing out some of the flawed proposals that were recently presented to the bitcoin community, including several of the flaws, incompleteness and destructiveness of the XT and Classic proposals.
