I am so passionate about Bitcoin because I own so many of them, so I want to see Bitcoin be the winner in the competition among cryptocurrencies.
Having a congested network with high fees, slow confirmations, and easy double spends is the formula to guarantee that Bitcoin loses to something else.
Why would you care which crypto-currency wins? If it is another altcoin, you trade your BTC for it and make huge gains because of starting from a much smaller mcap than Bitcoin.
I guess it is because you feel there is so much inertia that would be wasted if Bitcoin was not maximized?
I don't see any way that Lightning Networks can scale without being centralized. Ditto Bitcoin. So for me, the Bitcoin ecosystem will never have enough network effects to scale out the way the Internet did. And thus they must be replaced. That is my stance, but I am happy for them to try to their best and see what comes of it.
In my (semi-)"expert" technical analysis, PoW must die. Sorry.
