I think many of us, have a huge problem with the volatility of the BTC.
Volatility is the name of the game of cryptocurrency. I have no idea that you knew back when dollar was still backed by gold it was extremely volatile too.
Only centrally controlled fiat can be steered to be less volatile.
And also the technology behind the BTC is outdated. There are huge amount of the other new generation cryptocurrencies that are more secure and adopted to special needs of different economic and consum needs. I have a big problem with BTC because of the high volatility. So i found Minexcoin, that according to the whitepaper might be more stable and less volatile.
BTC can be upgraded, and it will be scaled in August. Cryptocurrency is not only tech behind it - it is whole economic concept, the most important is initial distribution of tokens.
If any other coin would be so popular as BTC currently is, there will be problem with that coin too. For example recent ETH bottleneck problem.
