As much as I'd like bitcoin to be successful, I see no way for the koyn to get into everyday business without some real scalability solution. My guess (which at this point is somewhat of a common thought) is that altcoins based on more versatile technologies (like DPOS) and cheaper and faster tx will take on this role.
Bitcoin can make it if its scalability problem can soon be solved adequately. It is quite sad that those involved in the decision-making process allowed themselves to view things based on their own vested interest and not based on what can be the best for the whole Bitcoin network. It can get disgusting to be paying ridiculous amount for the transaction fees when we are made to believe that Bitcoin must be efficient, fast and cheap. We the small Bitcoin holders should be sending a strong message to all concerned for them to finally act and come up with an acceptable solutions otherwise we are just shooting our own feet in here.
