@rogerkver, what about Dash? It seems Dash has transformed into the evil brother to a coin that Bitcoin aimed to be. Is it not time to move over Dash?
Dash is currently checking all the boxes with regards to empowering economic freedom. Nodes are rewarded, miners rewarded, there's even a budget for the dev community, instant payments, full anonymous wallets, not pseudo like bitcoin.
To my understanding, dash also uses methods from its big brother bitcoin, but it seems to be a lot more wiser. It's strategy has been retail focused, and that is exactly what you are suggesting Bitcoin should be and become again.
What are your thoughts on Dash vs Bitcoin? And when answering, try remove the heavily biased perspective you could have due to the fact that you are currently heavily invested in bitcoin. Your portfolio is broad, and I don't think you're an idiot, the only reason I mention this is because you have many critics, clearly, because you have been censored on other platforms, who frankly don't have nice things to say about you. Your investment could be a reason for your side on the scaling issue. Well here, you cannot be censored.
Personally, I say Dash for the win.. It's a real no brainier at this moment. All those points make perfect sense to me.
The current Bitcoin Core dev team's refusal to scale bitcoin in a timely manner is the best PR material DASH and other competing currencies could ever hope for. The block size blockade is the main reason that I've diversified into some competing currencies including Dash. If it wasn't for the total disregard by the current Bitcoin Core dev team for people actually trying to conduct business with bitcoin, I would have likely never owned a single alt coin.
