kidsuzudn posted a really off topic reply in a thread, seems suspicious so I checked his past posts. He was copying info from different sites (reddit, the merkle, etc.) and posting here in the forum:

Think of the word "awesome" - it generally correlates with positive sentiments (except in situations where awesome is used in its original meaning, then it's more neutral). Adding a "not" in front or behind the word "awesome" changes the sentiment of the phrase.
You can do sentiment analysis without using a NLP pipeline - there is no need to extract POS-tags, entities or dependencies if you have no need for them. In fact, you can just take a bunch of word vectors, and then average them over a sentence. Then softmax said average vector to your classes, and you'd get a very servicable sentiment analysis that would work 90% of the time. If you go down this path, I suggest using facebook's fasttext library which is..fast, and covers a lot of the challenges I mention below.

On paper, one could argue Bitcoin is better than any other cryptocurrency, token, or digital asset because those other offerings would not be around, were it not for Bitcoin. In this regard, the popular cryptocurrency has a leg up over any other currency in existence. Bitcoin will always be the first “major” cryptocurrency, and it has been around for 9 years now. Ethereum, on the other hand, only came to market a few years ago.
That being said, Ethereum offers some interesting pieces of technology. Smart contracts have been quite a revolutionary technology, although the same concept will be part of the Bitcoin protocol soon. Bitcoin has a disturbing lack of decentralized application possibilities, which makes Ethereum seem “better” in this regard. Then again, there is no “major” decentralized application in existence to be embraced by mainstream society either. Ethereum has a technological edge over Bitcoin, but until it is used by the masses, it is a matter of semantics.

SegWit transactions take less space, are chaper and SegWit block is max 2gb. SegWit allows lightning network that makes transactions extra cheap and fast. We don't need any other increases in blocksize, because we have to keep bitcoin decentralized and runnable at any home PC. So we have to save space. The issue is the precedent, not the 2MB increase. Miners cannot be allowed to hard fork without the users' support. 2MB may be fine but if we accept the precedent, then we'll have 8/16/32MB blocks soon, and maybe eventually inflation.
