So without counting tokens like USDT (scary that anyone would trust that at all) has XMR been the most stable V/S USD even including BTC in the last 6 months? I think that is what really speaks the loudest when it comes to what will eventually replace BTC as a main transnational chain. I personally see BTC falling into nothing more than a store of value like any other asset that is not easily converted to liquidity, even with Segwit.

AFA being taken seriously, I personally still don't feel the interface is polished enough for mass adoption and therefore should not be pushed at all. We in the know forget alot that for the vast majority of adopters there will be a one time try out of the wallet and if they get frustrated they will never try again so it is important to get it right the first time. We all forget that we are in a speculation bubble and for all intents and purposes BTC is really the only coin that actually has mass adoption for use case and even that is insignificant compared to all other major stores of value. I wish there was a way to track the real traffic of coins that are used for actual purchases as I personally believe XMR is the #1 alt for that and that is really what matters in the long run. All speculation bubbles will eventually burst but this entire market is almost completely speculation and that is why IMO ETH has such a high value ATM. And the herd mentality is to gather together when the shit show hits so weak hands are going to run to fiat and those that can't convert to fiat will run to the highest cap as ETH has already proven to be centralized and willing to fork to protect the ignorant masses.

Anyway these are my current opinions and may be far off the mark.

BTW I like these links for reference on the BipWar (<<-- just made that up hope no-one else has coined it yet).
