I beg to differ here, mate. features appart, bitcoin is a currency and as such it has to protect value. All this frenzy TV-soap with unilateral UASF is the kind of idiocy that bitcoin could have helped to prevent a long track of idiotic monetary policies in different countries where people had been exposed until now. Stronk Bitcoin is a clear message to authorities declaring that if you screw your monies I flee to bitcoin and screw you. This last chapter is a pathetic show on how we as a community are not able to represent a decent alternative to any fiat currency. as sad as it makes me writing this.
This has been ongoing since 2010 pretty much and you shouldn't be surprised that it's still an issue. There will always be power struggles and user dissatisfaction. Everyone wants it to be all things to them while other groups want it to be all things to them.
