Bitcoin worked 10x better a few years ago when it was 10x cheaper. I think it has the huge advantage of first mover and the idea that has been engrained in everyones minds from the beginning. A lot of value can also be seen in the fact that all other cryptos are pegged against its price and that you can't buy many of the cryptos out there unless you already own some BTC.
Whenever I transfer any sort of crypto I always convert it to BCC or XRP, no point in waiting hours r possibly days for a transaction which also costs exorbitant amounts. This greed by core developers could lead to its demise if they are not proactive, because you know there are lots of other coins out there just waiting for the opportunity to dethrone BTC
I thought "buy the bottom" was a euphemism for having sex.
I totally agree to your point @jasonshick. Bitcoin became incapable of being a cash transaction currency and moreover, it is used as a tool for making money. I am damn sure it will be replaced by other cryptocurrencies. Nowadays ether is also used as a tool to make money.!!!
