being stuck at 3.3 tx per second maybe allright for now but i feel that when the real big money moves in they will swat away the ~~neckbeards~~ core devs like mosquitos and replace them with with their own guys ......

a govt ,nation or financial group with deep pockets could simply buy up the mining farms and steer the project in the direction of their liking ,if btc ends up being a valuable financial instrument for international trade the fiat used to buy control over it at todays prices will be insignifigant .........

the next few years will be interesting ,i like it both ways
im invested in honeybadger and honeypony but i think badger will rape the pony in the next 6 months Tongue

Agreed, I'm in both too but currently pondering my BTC/XMR ratio and considering re-balance for the new year in light of recent positive tailwinds behind Monero.

But what you said above about the Big Money coming into BTC and sweeping away the neckbeards (LOL) makes a LOT of sense too, and I hadn't considered that angle before... so thanks for that.

I'm curious what your personal ratio/balance on Bitcoin/Monero is now? And any other alts seem worthwhile to you, maybe MaidSafe?

P.S. {Edit}

people like greg who may be slowing down progress...

Hey man, where were *you* when *I* recently made an unintentional back-handed slight against Good Ol' Greg, over there in the other Monero thread? LOL I was *attacked* as an ignorant troll by some loyal defenders of the faith, so... careful brother, ya may bring 'em out here too, with your subversive talk like that Wink
