There is a very simple explanation for this.

Hardly anyone uses any alt. Most alts are controlled by a small group of people or one person.

With those two factors they can change what they like any time pretty much as no one's going to oppose it and their blockchains are guaranteed to be empty.

Bitcoin is maxed out 24/7 and there are multiple factions fighting to control it. Bitcoin's job is to resist that control and only advance if enough people mutually agree. Being hard to change is a virtue though it may not look like that from the outside.

Development is absolutely not dead. There are thousands of people working away on different things.

You are saying that you use bitcoin to send regular payments, but then why dont you try to use another altcoin in order to make those micro payments?

You can send money with ethereum, it is the 2nd biggest altcoin that has been created, and you are always going to be paying $0,25 worth of eth for all the transactions that you make, doesnt matter how big they are, or how much are they worth.
I have been using eth for a long time to send those kind of payments who are less than $100, and i have never had any problems with this coin, and it has increased a lot during this year too.


I know but here where i live are some restaurants and some shops that accept btc as payment but problem is they only accept btc not eth or ltc ....

Actually it is better.
Those fees are needed for miners to have that muscle to still do it. If not, then where would bitcoin go.
Think about it. If you have a lot of bitcoin since day 1 then you wont be saying this problems. Those fees are so low, you are just converting it too much to USD. Try not to do that.

Outdated, maybe, but the market is making a very strong statement that bitcoin is still highly desirable.  As a currency?  Not really.  I've been saying that for quite a while.  The fees and confirmation times are ridiculous--I'd much rather spend doge or anything else.  As a speculative instrument it's pretty damn good, and it's got more of a community than any other coin.  But I wouldn't say it's past its prime by any means, and the market at present would agree with me.

I don't think this is FUD at all, just an opinion that may differ from the hardcore bitcoiners here.

Do you really think that bitcoin is a dead project? Waves is a dead project, i dont even know why are you mentioning them, because their devs are retarded as hell, they are always saying pure speculations but the price has not been increasing for more than three months.

i didn't say "btc is dead project" ... i said it seems like is outdated ... Price ? look at theirs blockchains not price ...

Bitcoin is slow , has high fees ...

When you look waves , eth , ltc , bitshares so bitcoin seems outdated against all these alts. When you look at all this upgrades and look at bitcoin so it seems like development is dead



We dont even know who was the real guy who created bitcoin, but do we really need to know it? It has been giving us a lot of things to us, and of course, money. There is nothing to complain about, then better to move to bitcoin cash, maybe it will help you A LOT!

development is dead
