Gavin is getting the heat for his greed-driven hardfork to make Bitcoin into Gavincoin. He openly admits to being fearful of altcoins gaining marketshare!


Quote

"I'll try to restate a point from that post that it seems some people are missing: you can't maximize the total price paid for something by simply limiting the supply of that something, especially if there are substitute goods available to which people can switch.

[...]

Limit the number of transactions that can happen on the Bitcoin blockchain, and instead of paying higher fees people will perform their transactions somewhere else. I have no idea whether that would be Western Union, an alt-coin, a sidechain, or good old fashioned SWIFT wire transfers, but I do know that nobody besides a central government can force people to use product with higher costs, if there is a lower-cost option available."

The Bitcoin-conspiracy against altcoins is real and confirmed.

Is this real?

Yes, it's real. I'm fed up with bitcoin after 2014 and this month! I know a crypto doesn't have to perform this poor. Bitcoin is a true shitcoin with that inflation.

Bitcoin markets are raped by this constant bleeding and the fools still try to pump it! Pumping bitcoin is futile! So now all of crypto needs to die because Bitcoins' miningreward schedule was designed by a bunch of amateurs? Hell, no. Just burn it! Burn it with fire!

Exactly this is why they are investing millions of dollars into the Blockstream technology. They are trying hard to stay at the top, while saying everything else is a shitcoin but still want their features via the blockstream.... this shows how single minded their mindset is.

We have again the same problem as with the banks, once on top they don't want anyone else there. And this is very sad to see such development.
In my view the Bitcoin foundation failed miserably in many ways already.

Bitcoin failed when Satoshi walked away to do "other things". His dream was a progressive one that biased no one and rewarded work, but like any small dream gone corporate I feel others did not have the same mindset as Satoshi, so what do you do when your dream is being threatened by money idolizing, greedy wallstreet wannabees, you leave them to sleep in the bed they make for themselves.

The simplist of thyings that need to be done nthat literally should take these developers a day or two to complete they are not doing. the needs of bitcoin and its real uses are being ignored even by the highest ups, and last but not least the real dream Satoshi had is being pushed aside for what they feel is "more important"

And in doing so, well dont let me say a word just look at the charts and see for yourself. The charts don't lie, False hope posters, with dreams to steal your money do. Smiley

so, we knew all the stuff posted in OP already.
what is the reason for the dump TODAY?

sellpressure mounting up ... inflation presses down, always ... so it's not going up, so people sell and more people sell. Didn't rise for a year. Just more selling and sellpressure is not going to stop.

Now we see a little rebound as i write this and i am sure once the buyers are exhausted (very soon as fools are rare and broke already) we go to new lows. Bitcoin as is today is not worth more than 150$ imho

Bitcoin is still the most widely accepted crypto by merchants. Boycotting it would be bad for business for some of us. Although if more cryptos start to be accepted, I may consider other options.

the only reason I have ever bought bitcoin is to buy superior alts which I use and save.
they also have no 'foundation' , and don't go grovelling to governments and banks

bitcoin just became too damn corporate, which is weird as has been such a naughty boy (silk road and scammers)

I love crypto and the sense of empowerment and very grateful for the concept and implementation by satoshi and for bitcoins existence.

but I have my altcoin communities and coins that i love and look forward to seeing the good coins grow and grow with good honest developers of which there are many. yes there are many scamcoins too, do your homework.

this world is fucked up enough by the dollar, imagine if it was the ONLY currency?
the exact reason we must never have a monopoly in crypto with just bitcoin as the player, which really for all intents and purposes is the case now. currently

on the next upswing we will see more and more of established trusted alts growing and growing. I am convinced of this. no-one wants just one currency or just one crypto. It's unnatural and for that reason won't happen.
A tiny percentage of the planets population is involved in crytpo right now, tiny. Human nature craves diversity and choice, and convenience. And frankly speaking bitcoin is a bloody dinosaur compared to many alts, many are pure clones too

I agree that it suppresses progression and innovation in other cryptos, it's like a fat guy getting passed by a more fit person trying to hold him not letting him pass. Mjority of Bitcoin fans do the same by trying to talk shit on other projects attempting to not let them pass by, even if that project offers a real purpose and innovation, they get butthurt because its not bitcoin.

I'm a bitcoin supporter aswell but their fan base is getting retarded and not willing to open their fcking eyes to potential projects, especially some 2.0 startups which i hope to shine and put bitcoiners a lesson not to think bitcoin is the only true currency.

the thing though few if any new alt is in any way, for any practical adoptive purpose, 'innovative', 'innovations' just a term to sell a new scam to the get rich quick crowd.

Bitcoin's advantage over altcoins, and it definitely is the top coin as it currently has the greatest market cap, is the network effect. BTC is lightyear's ahead of alts in this respect. Maybe it will continue development *counterparty* and remain like the top coin (which is what m to be happening now - it doesn't have to innovate as fast as alts, it just has to remain the most attractive coin), or maybe something will eventually replace it. Why do you think it needs to be boycotted?

Probably because of its toxicity, delusions of grandeur, fraudulent marketing, unability to be a store of value.

If you do not openly boycott it nothing will change and they keep trashtalking alts. We need other basecurrencies for trading, fully agree. Bitcoin had its time. It was fun and all but now it is time for it to step down and give way to innovation and a healthy industry.

-The bitcoiners (especially the bigger bagholders) in large parts suffer delusion of grandeur

- Bitcoin is wasteful. The high inflation leads to a too large and centralised mining industry consuming huge amounts of electricity and money.

- Bitcoin is anti fair distribution and an elitist shitcoin)

- Bitcoin has become the cancer of cryptocurrency



You sir, deserve a medal +100000000

Bitcoin is the biggest shitcoin/scamcoin there is, if it were launched today it would go nowhere because it's technologically behind every single one of the altcoins, even the bad ones.
only thing keeping it up really is the amount of money that jumped into it at the beginning and the fact that newcomers always hear first of bitcoin and then someone speaks of any other coin as an "altcoin" or a "clone" which makes them look bad even before anyone takes a look at how they are.

Viacoin for example is 10000 times better than btc for any real usage that may come from it, but, this is also everyone's fault, the exchanges for only listing btc as the "big" coin which converts to fiat and pretty much only listing that one and litecoin (who?).

True, most alts are crap, but some of them, around 1-2% (which is a lot considering the amount of alts in existance) are actually quite good and comparing them to btc is like comparing an aston martin to an old crappy ass buick.

I've honestly lost a lot more money holding BTC than holding alts, a LOT more.
