oh you mean Mex has planned to turn FH into something else without the altcoins and maybe just maybe is unloading all his altcoins in the exchange?
as an actual currency BTC is only great because it has so many "rich" supporters. But, to use as currency it's just shittier than shit itself. Transaction fees are not consistent and very very high compared to any altcoin out there. Transaction confirmations are also so so slow... I find it a miracle people still use BTC.
this is not said as someone who actually understands the technology, but as a frequent user of some altcoins and bitcoin to operate his website/service.
