Bitcoin... backed up by nothing you cannot hold it, you cannot associate it with any tangible asset it is worthless code that can be changed on a whim... 21m cap, 40m cap, 100bn cap it doesnt matter you canth trust humanz to make this work... where as the dollar is backed by taxes, labour and the security of the government.
You're better off investing in gold/silver/property market etc something that exists in the real world you'll lose all your money.
This GavinXT vs BitCore is pure agenda... Peter Todd is a fool that speaks in cryptics and riddles and I have to turn the volume up to hear his estrogenal voice and simply suggests what I could make out that nothing should be done to scale Bitcoin with user adoption.
Silly billies half of the users here are addicted to Bitcoin thinking they'll be rich in a couple of years.... NEWSFLASH you should've bought in the 09-12 mark its not going to happen again they've basically flogged those worthless "bits" to all you mugs that buy around $200-$1000!!!!! for a few pixelz on u screen.
Sure you can trade here and there but it ith not sustainable eny hoo can just dump the markat to 1$ again those 10,000 - 1,000,000 hoarders are gonna dump soon before its too late its snot a currency its gam gam gamblers paradise the reason all the big boys haven't put much VC in becoz they know this is crap they don't hath to because they OWN REAL ASSETS and 1mil VC in bitcoin is peanuts for them....

You are too dumb to realize the implications of the blockchain technology, how the blockchain technology is best used under it's original token (Bitcoin) and how tiny the marketcap is, which shows the insane growth for it.
In 10 years, any kid that in 10 years old getting advertisement money off his videos and music through Bitcoin on the internet, once he hits age 18 he will not go through the chores of getting a bank account to get an downgraded version of banking.
Television is no longer relevant, Youtube is. Now you only need a small camera to get your shit out there.
Big record labels aren't no longer relevant, Soundcloud and Bandcamp is. Now you need no one backing you up to make money off your music.
Official physical newspapers aren't no longer relevant, no one reads newspapers, only grandpas. Everyone else gets their news online. Big printing machines aren't no longer relevant.
Similarly, big banking infrastructures that charge you insane fees to keep their grandiosity running, aren't no longer relevant. The blockchain automates all of that and deprecates it, worldwide, at next to not costs. Metals and other so called safe havens are deprecated as well.
Bitcoin is simply the next step in getting rid of official grandiosity and giving power to the individuals. Swallow this reality pill and deal with the facts. The world changed after Bitcoin was released and it will never be the same. The sooner you get this objective reality thought your skull, examine your ego and invest in some BTC the better. Otherwise be ready to cry in the next decade+.
