Do you know Vlad, I've come to a similar conclusion as yourself.
Only I don't think they'll want us in bitcoin or ethereum by the end of all this.
The 'in our face' hardfork that just happened may be to get us ready for something similar with bitcoin.
If there's no coins of the type we got into all this for, will we be sticking around?
Leave them bankers to it, we've developed, tested, rolled out all the tech for them, why not?
Could get lucky and ixcoin comes into play somewhere
who knows..
But it looks to become all corporatised in the end.
And if you want everyone to lose all their money in cryptocoins, well, you only need concentrate on the top 2 @ coinmarketcap, no?
Excellent observation. I always said banks, govts and corps were gonna take over so it doesn't mother me. I never believed the decentralized, anonymous pipe dream.
That said, they'll find a way to shake out most people in crypto. And yeah, they may another coin in mind or maybe they'll just launch their own. If they can polarize a worthless coin like Ethereum whose own devs say it doesn't work then imagine if they had a coin that did work.
I just wish they'd hurry up. Fork it, kill it, whatever, let's just get it over with; I've got stuff I gotta do and this crypto thing is preoccupying my mind and I can't let go until it's done, one way or another.
