Secondly, Bitcoin is stagnating technologically, when compared to the alternative cryptocurrencies.
Fortunately there are many alternatives to Bitcoin out there, I personally like Dash, and its solutions to governance, Ethereum and Monero are also both good cryptocurrencies, all of these cryptocurrencies do not have problems with scaling, Dash has a second tier, incentivized and collateralized voting full nodes that can handle a much greater load, because of the build in incentive. Ethereum already has far greater capacity then Bitcoin and it will have even more in following releases. Monero simply has an adaptive blocksize, with some very interesting incentive structures to keep the blocks from becoming to large.
Sigh...this guy again? Back pumping DASH: totally expected. Presenting Ethereum's mutable bloatchain as a goal: standard. VeritasSapere, give it up. Nobody who has read more than a handful of your posts will ever again subject themselves to your tortured logic, your rationalization upon rationalizations which are completely divorced from the subject at hand---always. Take your shitcoin pumping to the altcoin forum or r/btc, please.
How Bitcoin is developed should not depend on altcoins. Altcoins are testnets for Bitcoin. You've been saying this same shit ("Bitcoin stagnating, alts are the future") for over a year now. Why haven't you left yet?
