The biggest misconception about the blockalypse is that it ever existed...
The tape tells the tale. In the last FOMO spike, we had soaring average tx wait times and soaring average tx fees...
Whether or not you wish to think of that as Blockalypse ain't no matter to me.
Its not whether it matters to you or not, its pointing out to the casual observer that you are making shit up. The term "apocalypse" usually describes the end of something. Bitcoin didn't die. It didn't stop or come close to stopping. No matter how you dice it, BCH is less popular than BTC now than it was during the throes of your fictional "blockalypse."
The first big block experiment has been a failure. What makes you think a second bigger block experiment (led by an even bigger phony than Ver) will be a success?
At the exact same time, we had a catastrophic drop in bitcoin market dominance.
Its not my fault you don't understand how the alt market historically relates to the bitcoin market and I don't have time to explain it to you.
There is something else going on with this blockalypse description and implied threat from jbreher...
He is trying to leave some kind of impression that bitcoin is broken in some kind of way and that the spam attacks that were going on between about December 2017 and January 2018 have some kind of persistence in bitcoin that resulted from bitcoin deficiencies and supposed organic growth that bitcoin cannot handle, rather than some nutjobs spending a lot of money to purposefully fill up the bitcoin blocks in order to perpetuate their dumb ass narrative (about supposed high fees and slow transaction times on bitcoin).
Furthermore, the big blocker, altcoin pumpers, bitcoin naysayers are likely trying to figure out a way to engage in such a spam attack again that would be strategically timed, if they can figure it out and if they are given the right opportunity where they are not going to lose their asses on it, and possibly be able to profit in comparison to how much money it is going to cost them to carry out another attack while describing their dumbass clogging attempts of the bitcoin blockchain (assuming that they achieve some modicum of success) had been due to deficiencies in bitcoin... rather than their purposeful effort to engage in intentional sabotage efforts.
Sure bitcoin is likely to survive these ongoing attacks and likely to thrive too, but the nutjob bigblockers are going to attempt to pump it for as much as they can in order to spread their misleading narrative to trap as many innocent bystanders into their narrative as they can.. so they can sell their bags onto a few more people -possibly bordering on dumb money - who likely buy into their stories.

Segwit is that altcoin - and biggest pumped
Bitcoin works - as much open as possible -> better with no (artificial) capacity issues
There is no need to rant for some 'Netscape'-Bitcoin, economics will sort it.
Have fun with ur artificial fees in BTC
