Do you think that Bitcoin has become too slow to compete with the relatively quick alt coins out there? Is it realty competitive to have a slow community rather than a centralised decision making in development?
In other words, does the community effect of decentralisation enough to counterbalance the difficult decision making processes?
Yes some altcoins move way way faster than bitcoin itself. For anyone to really enjoy bitcoin rally, he or she must have good quantity of bitcoin stored in his/her wallet. But with altcoins you can make good profits within a good time frame. Imagine investing say 0.5BTC in an altcoin and it does 100%, thus you will have 1BTC when the altcoin is sold off.
