So your suggestion that bitcoin is broken or deficient because it does not adequately compete with Visa comes off as a load of propagandistic and premature nonsense.. Bitcoin is way to immature to be even striving to compete directly with such a large system - but that does not mean that bitcoin does not have value for what it is - a decentralized immutable secure storage and transfer of value... think of all the power of that? No other system comes close to bitcoin in terms of the exact thing that it is providing at this moment - even if it remains a "work-in-progress."
I never suggested that.
Well what's the difference that you are suggesting? You are saying that bitcoin needs to serve both the store of value function and the payment function... and you are suggesting that it's gotta do it now, otherwise it is going to lose market share...
Yeah, heard rushed arguments like that many times,
like you want bitcoin to evolve into some super machine over night, and the fact of the matter is that you seem to be focusing too much on aspects that you perceive to be negative rather than appreciating value and appreciating that bitcoin is continuing to be built in a lot of ways. Are you changing your tune, now?
Give it up. If i want Bitcoin to evolve into some super machine overnight, i would have mentioned Visa, 1gb block, etc. Read my posts carefully as i never expect bitcoin to match visa or expect 1gb block. I was imply saying that 1mb block is stupid. I have reservation about segwit and don't think it is a great addition to bitcoin. I don't like LN either. I don't like the current fee system as it is totally, utterly crap.
