many are switching to alternatives such as Solana for speed or Monero for privacy.
ROFL
You can't just replace bitcoin with another altcoin specially not with centralized shitcoins like Solana that have a massive premine.
Different countries have accepted bitcoin as a currency and some as legal tender, not altcoins.
Different merchants are accepting bitcoin as a payment and it is extremely rare for them to accept shitcoins.
P.S. This attack is not yet as big as 2017 spam attack.
From the looks, it is obvious that this is a planned attack on bitcoin chain, the timing, the nature of the attack and the manner at which it was launched but they forget they are only making bitcoin more popular and gaining more traction. Well, I see a surge in bitcoin price after this whole
saga.
The bitcoin awareness is strong. The adoption is fast spreading like wide fire. No shit coin can take or replace bitcoin not even the shitcoin as mentioned by OP.
Lastly, I think I should remind them not to forget that bitcoin is the first digital currency to be developed and as such, is the genesis of crypto currency and blockchain technology.
Exactly mate and I see no reason for spreading of FUD.
one thing is very certain from all this happenings and attack on the blockchain that there are still millions of transcations awaiting confirmations on the blockchaij which is a clear evident that bitcoin is doing fine.
The problem is bitcoin but on the blockchain and there isn't any need to panic and I guess op should be one of the teams behind the shitcoins he early mentioned in the OP and no matter the amount of promotion done, they still remain switching and wouldn't get close to bitcoin and core believers of bitcoin should be expecting a massive rise in the price of bitcoin after all of this mess is fixed so they will be busy buying more for hodl against what op proposed of panic selling send I don't actually see anyone panic selling because of transaction delay and high fee.
