Arguments for natural selections tend to be fallacies. It doesn't need your support, it just happens.

And collective decisions is a part of the market, so unless someone is suggesting coercion, calling them regulators is blatant ignorance.


What do you mean by fitness? Through natural selection, you get organisms that more efficiently adapt to the environment. Which environment you think these new organisms are adapting? What does the competition entail? What is "out there"?

Let me make a list of things where Bitcoin falls short, and which crypto-currency solves it:

• Instant confirmations: NONE (Ripple attempts to solve it but it's not a currency, and complements Bitcoin)
• Traceability: NONE (Who is bold enough to implement ZeroCoin so that Bitcoin can integrate it?)
• Environmental impact: PoS coins do this, and if it works, there is potential that Bitcoin will adopt it
• Volatility: NONE

As you can see, there is a huge room for development in this space, and some alternative currencies are being helpful to the development. But you aren't advancing anything by tuning and tweaking settings of a single software.

If you develop something that uses a different approach than Bitcoin (e.g. Ripple, Freicoin), or something that Bitcoin users won't likely prefer to be integrated (e.g. Namecoin, maybe PPCoin), then we can talk about real competition.

As it stands, I agree that the current "crypto-currency market" is cannibalizing itself.


I think his audience is people who adhere to this cause. If you don't care, why even respond?


Don't be a part of the problem. That's a solution.
