the answer is, there is nothing wrong with Bitcoin.
it's a nascent currency that is going up against the world's greatest powers in both the political and financial world and all we see is increasing adoption globally. more and more exchanges are coming online along with payment processors. we've had a record year in merchant adoption and tx volumes are growing and just hit an all time high. VC capital investments are at record highs and you can feel the increasing momentum in the news if you care to follow closely:



hashrate has experienced record growth and is finally leveling off as it has reached a rate that has successfully secured our precious network. NOW is the time for all the $ pouring into mining to be diverted into the price. but SC's threaten to disrupt this delicate equilibrium:

the same doom and gloom ppl like brg444 were trying to scare us all about 51% attacks. where did all that FUD go? and now just look at the evening out of the pooling percentages just as i predicted according to the Pure Strategy Nash Equilibrium:

and as far as volatility of the price goes, this is normal price action. the fact that we are still way up here at $397 speaks volumes that Bitcoin is here to stay. everything is going as planned and gold is suffering as i predicted and will soon be a feeder source for Bitcoin. if we get a financial crisis that will help too.
all we have to do is not fuck it up. and that means having patience. and that means stopping any conflicted, self interested, unethical group from coming in and changing the rules of the game which will destroy confidence in Bitcoin as Sound Money. it will also send a bad message and establish a precedent for criticism from outsiders. the business of Money cannot be conflicted if we want nations and all classes of ppl to buy in.
who cares about the 10 min block time? really? that's about what it takes for a decentralized network to synchronize worldwide. the network needs that time to prevent attacks. who really needs absolute anonymity? sure, for illegal stuff. but most of us don't do that. and if you really want you can mix your coins or do a Coinjoin. no problem. there are many issues that keep being debated but Bitcoin keeps grinding on.
many, many ppl always call for major changes at the bottom of these cycles. i've seen it 5x. brg444 is a newbie around since February. he has no experience in the Bitcoin arena if we are to believe what he has said.
we've got a great opportunity to make major changes for the better in the financial system. just be patient and hodl.
