Bitcoin is broken, don't know why people still use it when there is a plenty of better alternative Roll Eyes

in what world a centralized, pre-mined, pump and dump, buggy, in some case bloated, insecure altcoin is better than bitcoin?
maybe next time you make a throwaway account, make sure to also give us some example

Maybe in a world where a cabal of miners (BitFury, BTCC, Slush, F2Pool) seem to be holding up on-chain scaling for bitcoin. Who are they connected with? Are they long time private money advocates? Early adopters? Or are they some bankster creation?

That is exactly my fear about this whole thing. I really do doubt it is a cabal of bankers and stuff. But I do understand how easy it is for absolute power to corrupt absolutely. Even if the miners have good intentions now doesn't mean they won't sell out 4 years later when BTC is worth tens of thousands each or more.

For now I am not concerned about the miners doing anything beyond loving their high transactions fees, later is when I worry.
