Title: Bitcoin and Scaling future
Post by: Boxxl on March 29, 2018, 06:53:26 AM
Hi,


I've seen Bitcoin since 2014.. I saw a lot of fancy coins without any real innovations.
But now we see IOTA, Hashgraph, Nano and Byteball.

I think these altcoins really have some better innovations.
What is the future / roadmap for Bitcoin? Can Bitcoin handle these innovations?

All those altcoins are scams and ponzis until they create a sustainable economy for their "currency". Bitcoin was once maybe a ponzi scheme in the beginning. But not anymore, thanks to the masses of people who are willing to take payment in Bitcoin, and the services that have employees willing to accept their salaries in Bitcoin.

Plus what innovations? Are they proven to work? I have heard a lot of terrible things about IOTA.

Yes, I don't like IOTA.. But Hashgraph and Nano looking good.
Indeed they need to prove the technic.

But can Bitcoin handle this kind of speed in the future?

What's your basis on why you believe Hashgraph and Nano are "looking good"? The whitepapers? The random promises of their developers?

If Bitcoin's secure, decentralized, censorship resistant and trustless transactions take an average of 10 minutes each to confirm, then I will take that over unproven, might be broken, might be centralized, might be scam cryptocurrencies.

bitcoin itaself  is the  greatest innovation today. There are many altcoins now but only bitcoin does hold a record for now and i guess this will probably last long. Though there are many good coins now but still bitcoin has the greatest achievement today. In regards to thr number of investors who trusted bitcoin to the number of altcoins who follow the bitcoin functions. So far there is no other currency better than bitcoin though you are also specifying as above mention are good coins. Maybe you forgot that there are many good ICO nowadays and it can compare on your bet coins.

As long as you can buy the altcoins for bitcoin only and not for fiat, bitcoin will have the advantage compared to the altcoins. As long as you have to exchange fiat for bitcoin, and after you can exchange bitcoin to altcoin, bitcoin will have the volume on exchanges and if there's a volume, it has the demand for it. If there's a demand, the price will be at least stable or won't fall quickly.

Unless they deliver what they are promising both will be useless coins, I know their project looks fancy in their white paper but that's not everything.
However, having and small amount invested in those currencies could be an insurance of not losing the opportunity.
