In the early days of Unix, there was a several spinoff flavors being maintained by groups of Elitist Developers, each with their own core kernels, and each flavor's camp continued with their mantra that they were maintaining their source code base aligned strictly to the needs of the masses, not catering/bowing down to business needs/ further centralization, that their kernel was "purest form of Open Source", yadda yadda yadda.

So guess which implementation/flavor eventually won the long term battle? Yep, RedHat Linux. ONE IMPLEMENTATION. ORIENTED TO BUSINESS NEEDS, NOT STRICTLY AVERAGE JOE ELITISM.

Why? Because Business Needs > Average Joe needs. (Sad but true, but we need both to work together)
(Wasn't the whole point of Bitcoin to spend it on Merchant (ie., BUSINESS) goods and services? Without Merchant adoption of a fast, scale-able monetary solution with no middleman needed, Bitcoin loses its main core appeal )

And where are many of those original elitist Unix/Linux implementations now? Relegated to the dustbin of History.

Moral of the story:
The Bitcoin core developers better wake the fk up, grow the fk up, and start working with those in touch with global business needs. Or they will eventually (and very quickly) find themselves in the dustbin of Bitcoin History.

so you want a bitcoin microsoft and facebook corporation like to take over bitcoin?

sry not happening.

but you can always fork off and play with eth ~~dapps~~ derps.

Stupid response is stupid. Of course I want Microsoft and Facebook to EMBRACE, PROMOTE, and USE an open implementation of Bitcoin. Just like I want all the other global merchant/commercial/service industries to do the same. That *was* the original long term vision/goal.

And you don't? I guess you'd prefer just a few centralized Chinese miners, Blockstream, and a few elitist derpy neck-bearded Average Joes to pass a few btc back and forth for drugs and gambling purposes. And that's it. Roll Eyes

Actually unix was proprietary software (for decades) and linus torvalds showed up and made linux as the open source alternative. In the linux camp initially there was no "battle". Sure you had redhat, debian, slackware etc but they weren't competing on "whose kernel was more open source". Actually what I remember is that I liked the slackware color scheme for the console, especially the bright blue ones. It was like using a bbs from terminal Cheesy

ETH: Price > 10x in 2 months

BTC: Keeps tanking, predictably Sad

Man, you must feel AWFUL Cheesy

And if you even decided to invest in Ethereum, you can hope to see tears once the whales start dumping their coins and dropping the price back down to where it's supposed to be, and feeling bad about not sticking with bitcoin.

Bad as the tears around here, when BTC started tanking at $1,200?
Man, would'a cried my eyes out, myself, because such not P&D Sad

Almost looks like bitcoin is about to lose it's first-mover advantage pretty soon Undecided

Quote

Often second-movers are able to overwhelm first-movers by taking the first-mover's product from a niche consumer market to a mass market. While firms may enjoy a first-mover advantage if they jump out to an early lead and hold onto it, the notion that winners are always the first to enter the market is a misconception.

Chinese specialize in second mover advantage btw. Let the first mover make do all the R&D, make all the early mistakes, then just copy it and make it cheaper and better.

Not sure if cheaper really fits here, and ETH and MAID bring innovation beyond just copying... But when you look at Monero, they have had the second mover advantage of seeing all the mistakes and potential pitfalls and have designed accordingly (fungibility, flexible block size, tail emission, forced hard fork scheduling, etc...)

Thank you for this. Looks like newcomers trying to displace first (or second, or third) movers.

Bitcoin isn't really giving it much of a fight.

I think what will bite multiple asses is that the folks at the tiller really seem to have a giant blind spot regarding the fact there are hundreds of thousands of other humans involved.

Said other humans are greedy, fearful, sometimes easily led and not all that rational.

They're like a herd of slightly dim cud chewers prone to fright then flight.

Bulls that exist reasonably well together in winter become competitive when there are cows to breed. Len McIrvin, who runs horned Herefords near the Canadian border at Laurier, Wash., raises some purebred bulls for his operation and turns out 130 bulls on range. He says he sees a few broken legs. Most of the injuries, however, are stifled bulls and bulls with broken penises.

"We try to use younger, lighter bulls on heifers," McIrvin says. "This reduces the risk of broken penises. You get more injuries with bigger, heavier bulls trying to breed heifers."

The halving will certainly put the miners' faith in Core's roadmap to the test. If BTC price doesn't rally to compensate, miners will be forced to decide what policies will lead to the highest profits for them. Some will likely go bust anyway.

You nailed it! was having that exact conversation with a friend a few days ago Wink

BTC will have to rally or else........
