In their current form, BTC are slow to verify transactions and sometimes even when moving them around. They - owners and miners- need to decide on a viable path to make them more user friendly if they want them to go mainstream.If more use is to made using them some form of Directory needs to be established to see who 'accepts' them in the various countries?
Leaving them as a slow trading, safe instrument for investment and speculation will see volatility continue- been better lately though.
Decision time re forking status and block expansions need to be sorted now. Whichever, I believe they are and will be a good investment going forward.
Other Altcoins are showing real promise in the transaction and currency conversion markets and there are a few in the wings that are going to shake up the retail markets at SME level initially, with 'desirable' benefits for all participants ,,free!
There is no doubt that we live in interesting times and opportunities are many- always be wary and check them before rushing in spurred by hype!
Enjoy!

Not that they do not work well, bitcoin is the most powerful technology at the moment, which is hundreds of times faster than other supercomputers. However, bitcoin is becoming increasingly popular, with thousands of transactions occurring every day, and of course bitcoin prices are rising, people are reluctant to pay a high fee for transactions, They have reduced it to a minimum, which makes transactions slow, and when there are so many things, it gets clogged. It's a certain thing.
