Now that I've gotten your attention, I promise there's a method to my madness. We've all been arguing over Bitcoin XT and (now) Bitcoin Classic while ignoring that there's a real world outside of Bitcointalk and the endless schemes to get more Bitcoin. In the grand scheme of things, it's not even really all that important whether Bitcoin stands a chance of destroying traditional banks as long as Bitcoin or whatever replaces Bitcoin if it stumbles can carve out its own niche. But we're marching toward a world where things are going to be moving pretty fast in matters that don't necessarily have to do with economics and finances, except for maybe who's going to be holding the moneybags. Is it going to be us, or is it going to be the big banks, or is it going to be some Third World tyrant who may have gotten a little too big for his britches and doesn't have a graceful way out? What I'm getting at here is, are we absolutely sure we're making all the right strategic moves to make sure cryptocurrencies have a meaningful, sustainable future instead of just being seen as a funny little gimmick that went the way of Beanie Babies in a few decades? Should we be making alliances with other up-and-coming, innovative technologies to make sure we can achieve our long-term goals? This is something we'll have to consider if we want Bitcoin to have any kind of a future.
Internet is real thing! I didn't have internet when I was kid, but look at this situation around us now. Baby`s use internet, kids learn about internet in schools from beginning about programing and web developing. No matter what someone do, if he doesn't have web page, mail or some other service that require internet he is not taken seriously...Internet is the future and that is a fact!
Bitcoin is first alt coin, something new and unique. And how time is passing more people are using bitcoin cause it makes many things much easier. Especially for people who are always online, buy things online, gamble, or what ever... So bitcoin showed to everyone that something like that can work very good. And now we have like million other coins that try to make same thing like bitcoin did.
For now everything is ok, bitcoin is making his way to top. I`m here almost 1 year, many new things happened in that period, maybe main is that price is doubled. Point is that step by step bitcoin is growing bigger. That is good strategy if you ask me.
Will bitcoin have problems in future? Yes, I think even bigger then now. But that doesn't mean that bitcoin will not survive. Banks, governments, corporations...everyone wish for nice piece of a cake. That is conspiracy theory, but I believe they have it already. Something big like this cant work without support from one of them.
What we can do is to hope for the best, and in that period of time to use benefits that bitcoin offer to us.
