You don't have to be a BU supporter to see that bitcoin is in real trouble and ETH is making gains every day. And since when did bitcoin supporters declare bitcoin to be worthless except as "digital gold"? That by itself is an absolutely horrid stance to take. (Insert random altcoin) can serve that role perfectly well. The promise of bitcoin was in its ability to transform finance in all kinds of niches. That's what I've been reading for years in crypto media! So saying it is just supposed to be a store of value unable to handle payments, as I take your comment to mean, is tantamount to a wholesale surrender and retreat from most of the financial battlefield.

You will be able to do all of that on secondary layer solutions. Sidechains, Tumblebit, Mimblewimble, LN, et. al.

And Franky, you are trying way too hard to deny the obvious: Segwit will provide significantly increased transaction capacity soon after it was deployed, if it could ever get the chance.

Just ignore his posts. They are full of pseudo-science and false knowledge. He will never admit to being wrong, even if 99.99% scientists said otherwise. Roll Eyes

Thanks for the clarification - that makes much much more sense. :-)

I can ignore Franky just fine, but he still needs to be called out for the benefit of newbies he may confuse.
