I was once like you... oh those days are gone... keep an open mind.... being a bitcoin purist is cool and everything, but you gotta be realistic. Bitcoin getting any new features like any of the new altcoins is not going to happen in the foreseeable future.
For them to agree on a 8mb block increase took them a few years and that isnt even a big deal. There is way to much at stake to add anything drastic to Bitcoin...
are you going to risk your bitcoin investment for them to try out something new with a chance of you losing value in your bitcoin? most likely not, which is why we have altcoins and in the end only a few will be left standing while bitcoin will remain as the gold currency in crypto world.
