But I'm inclined to agree with singularity87 (the author/mod at the link) that even such throttling may be enough to "kill" bitcoin in the sense that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin in network effect, leading to the "Flippening." (A period of rapid change as people realize bitcoin supremacy is a lost cause and flee to Ethereum in droves.) So the challenge for diehard bitcoin supporters is how to avoid this outcome.
There is no such thing as the "Flippening". This is a made up doomsday scenario by the r/btc shills who are deeply invested in ETH. Bitcoin is supposed to be
digital gold, not centralized paypal 2.0.
There is a huge difference between adopting an alternative currency and abandoning Bitcoin. I would like to see references for each of those points, especially Dell (first time I'm hearing about it).
