But Bu is just an altcoin. does it mean that bitcoin will become just like any other altcoin?

BU is not an altcoin, it is a proposal to solve the Bitcoin's block size issue. Bitcoin's consensus is working as originally intended by Satoshi Nakamoto (miners vote with their hashing power). Right now miners increasingly prefer Bitcoin Unlimited. BU does not actually mean unlimited block size. It means unlimited potential. Doing nothing hurts Bitcoin more than increasing the block size a little.

Long text = shit text. If you can't deliver your arguments reasonably briefly then your arguments might not be worth reading. Conventional rhetoric does not work in the Internet whether you like it or not. And believe me, you wouldn't want to raise your annoying voice in the jungle either. Those who need long paragraphs to explain a simple idea are basically executing a Denial of Service attack on the readers. My response to your DOS is simply to ignore it.

You have this unreasonable paranoia of potentially unlimited blocks and then you have this wild fantasy of how you imagine market equilibrium playing out. You refer to "smart people" and you think you have nailed it. Don't make me laugh. If you're so smart then why aren't you rich yet? Because everyone else is too stupid to believe your ideas and see the light? Let me tell you something about online debates. You can't win them. So if you are writing long texts and I am refusing to read them then you are the jackass DOSing yourself while writing stuff that no one bothers to read. At the end of the day I believe even more in the Bitcoin Unlimited project and you will probably believe even more in this new altcoin called SegWitCoin that innovates by introducing Proof-of-BlockStream where consensus is dictated by the best interests of the BlockStream company.
