What are the best coins to use at a time when there is network congestion in the main meme pool?
I have never underestimated the importance of altcoins and I have never let Bitcoin blindfold me the way it does some people. The truth is that I face reality, if it is good, I will say it, and if it is bad, I will say it. It is no news that the way Bitcoin is structured has not helped it for improvements, so there is no way altcoins that are being created and structured in such a way that will allow more scalability and operation better than Bitcoin will not supercede it when it comes to core operations. Many of them will complete a transaction in less than 3 minutes, so you can't compare at all, even for investment opportunities.
That said, you will hardly see altcoins that are among the top ones that will be more than $0.4 in transaction fees with an average of 5 minutes of speed. I think this is a fair deal enough, not to talk of some that will complete your transfer within seconds. Specifically, I have used, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Tron, Shib, Mana, Solana and Cadano for transactions, and all are good and I never noticed any glitches whatsoever. They should be good alternatives should there be congestion in one or some other coins/tokens.
[/quote]that the fact the thing is that, when it comes to scalability of the industry, altcoins have done more in that directions more than bitcoin and the reason is that bitcoin is structured in such a way that it is hard to develop or implement a change without passing through all the procedures for that to happened, which is why altcoin becomes best for an alternative.
Riding on the weaknesses of Bitcoin to provide better service and alternatives that will aid the scalability and usability of the cryptocurrency industry is one very best features of altcoins and the reason why we must search out the good gems among the altcoins that can provide us that service as alternatives in time of needs.
