what the hell is up with this new fascination to "change bitcoin"?!!!

ever since this stupid block size debate has started, i keep seeing everyone trying to add lots of changes to bitcoin and change what has been working so far and is still working perfectly and will continue to work!
started with classic which was shitloads of change and then xt and then BU and segwit!
and now this!!!

if you are so unhappy then start a new altcoin and apply the changes, whatever they are in that altcoin and leave bitcoin alone.

this is what litecoin and half the rest of them did and are still doing.

You must not have been here very long. As long as I can remember there have been proposals to change Bitcoin. They come and then they go. None of these proposed changes (BU, Segwit, change PoW, etc.) will ever happen. It is just so much bluster, FUD, and opinion. It give people something to talk about. Meanwhile Bitcoin just keeps on keeping on and it will continue to do so as all these posting battles rage on.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin at this point and has no need to change - so it won't.

I liked your answer Roll Eyes

since this is mostly what i believe too.

and no i haven't been "exactly here" very long, only since 2014 and for the most part of it i never cared about things like this, and never even get involved in the arguments.
i only "use" bitcoin as a currency and trade sometimes.
but lately it seemed (at least to me) that the fascination has grown!

Yes, the level of the "we must change Bitcoin" bluster is extremely high right now. I think it is all part of the grieving process. Many are grieving the fact that Bitcoin cannot and will never become whatever their personal idea is of what they wanted it to become. Bitcoin is what it is and that is not what many here thought, believed or hoped it would become. Hopefully, eventually, they will get through the steps in the grieving process and this will all die down.
