Name a major exchange which doesn't accept BTC.
New York Stock Exchange....


It was quite obvious in context of the post I was responding too, the other examples, and the message of the entire post, that the meaning was there are no major exchanges which accept OTHER altCoins but not Bitcoins.

The post I was responding to made it seem like there is this massive flow of investment, talent, development, merchant support, etc AWAY from Bitcoin and towards alt-coins.  That obviously isn't true.  While BTC aren't traded on the NYSE, that isn't because for example BTC is dying and the NYSE went with NVC (or some other clonecoin of the week). 


The OP didn't make the claim that ASICs have slowed new interest in BTC the claim was that altCoins were gaining traction at the expense of BTC due to ASICs. My post was to show they aren't.  Even re-reading it now I can't see how anyone would take it any other way, but then I look up at your post and you have proved me wrong.  Your responses were ... well dumb in that context.  However don't worry I updated the post to be even more explicit so you no longer need to apply any thinking before responding.  Your welcome.
