Bitcoin has gone from being an expensive network to use to a practically unusable network. I was defending Bitcoin against millions of tards back in 2011 and 2012. Are they going to have the last laugh on me now? It pisses me off to actually see some of you defending this too and saying "this is the way Bitcoin is supposed to work". Umm... NO IT IS NOT .
I have ZERO confidence left in Core and their "developers". Their network can't handle the slightest bit of volume without totally seizing up. And then Adam Back is out there with the press talking about Bitcoin vendors and merchants running a tab system?? Really?? You can't do your job properly so you want people to run a tab in BTC?? You saw this coming from 10 miles away and did nothing about it. Stupid or malicious?... you decide.
I will be converting my remaining BTC to BCH, Dash, XMR and coins that actually work! And coins that have teams that have at least a Grade 7 level understanding of economics, ie.. "when you are at capacity, you open more locations". And not throw out "but but centralization!!" juvenile red herrings!
Long time Bitcoiner of 6 years here saying, "SEE YA LATER! CASHING OUT NOW!"
Dont close the door yet. All system have always room for improvement.
I believe they are already working around on it and if they get it right, it will make things better.
