What constitutes as the modern cryptocurrency community? The traders? Whales? Or a small bunch of developers and enthusiasts who actually care about the protocol? To be honest, the vast majority of the bitcoin community doesn't have the mentality to change anything or even follow what's being written by Satoshi. Take CoinBase for example. His solution is perfect? No. He gave you the basic architecture to start with? Yes! It's upto you to develop on top of it.

Or you can just stop using bitcoins and create your own coin or use one of those shit-coins out there? Speak for yourself.
