I'm seeing more and more new people to crypto parroting the mantra that Bitcoin is old tech and needs to die.
Yes btc is to some extent old tech and yes there are faster, cheaper blockchains. But newbies and even some veterans need to be careful cause if enough people think something then it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Problems that come with taking btc away as root of cryto are really not known. I suggest to you nothing good will come from it and crypto needs btc as a solid reserve currency of sorts and most gains people have made in alts are due to btc rise. Take Bitcoin away from top slot and I think crypto becomes unstable. IMO.
As long as there are people who believes on bitcoin, then it has to continue its service to us. Other cryptocurrency or digital currency are nothing without bitcoin. If we are going to look at coinmarketcap.com, the prices or the change rate of other digital currencies are aline with what is happening to bitcoin. As of now bitcoin dictate the fate of others. It is true that if bitcoin got away with this, then there will be a huge problem for others. It is good to be ready since there are lots of people who wants bitcoin to vanished since it has the highest amount now, yet become lower as the time goes by. Maybe this is one of the reason why they do not want bitcoin all of a sudden.
