I blame the bubbles. What would have worked well is for Bitcoin to have gradually gained interest and mainstream adoption. Then the price would reflect this growing demand and the market cap would increase at a steadily rate that would have made the inflation irrelevant. Look at what happened in 2012 as an example. Bitcoin slowly appreciated in price in a sensible manner. Instead what we got were a series of bubbles, bear markets, and butthurt "investors". Bitcoin isn't the problem. We are.

it's all pump and dump

It wasn't the developer of Bitcoin, who did a mistake. We are the cancer. There are more black souls than white souls.
P2P = Democracy, and (real) democracy does not work - it ends in chaos. Take a look at Greece today, take a look to Greece <1000 years in the past.
It's a 51% attack if you let the people decide what's good or what's wrong.

Project 'mankind' has failed, not Bitcoin.

It's funny that you say "Project 'mankind' has failed, not Bitcoin." while having a signature that links to zeit-coin lol.

Bitcoin has become the cancer of cryptocurrency and holds back progress and surpresses the entire altcoin industry. It is a scam for early adopters and miners to get rich of YOUR money by hyping it up to the point of telling people 10million$ for a coin would be realistic. This is a get rich quick mentality and often times misleading marketing (comparison to gold while it is inflationary more than fiat) and bitcoin looks very, very much like a ponzi right now.

Hard to tell whether you're trolling (I suspect you are) but the cancer of cryptos are altcoin scams and it's the adopters of these shitcoins and scamscoins that actually want to 'get rich off your money by hyping it up'. Actually come to think about it I think you're trying to be ironic here lol.

i think thats all because people not looking information about thats coin before buy it thats why a lot people got trap on scamcoin or dead coin

P2P is rule-based networking concept and not democracy.
It is very often democratic, but it doesnt have to be.

I agree with most of the grievances of the OP, however,

- I don't think boycotting is in any shape or form a solution to this. Better put all energy in something positive, like promoting something else that is better.
- On a personal note, I'd love to see BTC do better, because I am heavily invested in it.... But that's personal and in no way a valid argument in this discussion. On the contrary, the problem is all the BTC bagholders and their attitudes.

I had an argument with a guy in the Speculation section recently that was very telling. When asked why BTC would be better then any altcoins, his reply was the size of the investment already in it, and the market cap. No interest in the technology or it's applications in society whatsoever.

I think tho, that this problem will solve itself in time. BTC will have a less prominent place because it's starting to lag behind. In the worst case (for the bagholders, including me), BTC will be reduced to dust.

In the future, there will be more variety. See this talk by Andreas Antonopoulos entitled 'The future of Bitcoin'.

I like bitcoin but this is spot on, every time an alt seems to get some attention the bitcoin community rallies against it, even if it seems promising.

And incidentally, boycotters tend to be the boat missers.

boatmissers? Like all those people who sold for 800$? You sound like a freakin' bagholder.

Your fault by buying during an obvious bubble.
These bagholders will be rich in 10 years anyway.

You should boycott Bitcoin. It's flawed because of doughnuts. Not the regular round ones with sprinkles because I like those. The long ones shaped like logs are fucking everything up. Those maple flavored ones too. Maple is a pancake flavor. You don't put it in doughnuts.

This is a good reason to boycott, much better than the OP's

That's what I'm thinkin.

You can't have steady increase. It is impossible. A steady increase would suggest a continued steady increase, and that would attract speculators like flies to cowshit. Impossible.

I don't think it matters whether you agree or disagree with the elimination of Bitcoin!

How would YOU go about eliminating it?

Here we go with the Ponzi accusations again. How could you potentially change inequality? No coin can change inequality. Be there first = get a bigger piece of the cake. This will always happen. What matters is if the code and protocol work and Bitcoin works.
