I do not consider increasing blocks a good solution. It does not scale while the negative consequences for decentralisation are unclear. Since Bitcoin’s only true value lies in ‘decentralisation’, I support not hastily moving away from this core concept just to solve a current - perceived as immediate - issue. There is too much at stake.

If it was easy, we would not be where we are right now. Decentralisation comes with trade offs.

I summarised your post to the essential 

TenX showed that they can deliver. And their app is already up and running including ETH wallets. So when they worked out the thing with their new card provider, we're off again.

Whatever it is, I am not investing in IOTA unless it goes below $1 again. Too much Alpha tech right now. I may revise my stance if new software is released though.

The Beta launch is imminent (8 January 2018) and ATS token has done well the last few days.

Good point. If holding BTC is not the primary goal it is better to buy GBYTE outright and get 10% bonus in the March distribution.

Cryptopia is working ok for me, although a lot of exchanges are under heavy load right now. But let's see whether my order at 45k will be hit soon 

People say all kinds of things about DeepOnion, but the creative people are there and contribute their thing. I can only imagine where Byteball could go if similar input of very talented supporters would be used to further the Byteball project.

It just needs to catch some wind.... 

Too bad I seem to be missing the train. Coinsmarket is still down while the price goes up and up....

Pumping your pet coins after the pump is useless information.

First, NEXT.Exhange needs to launch. Their cautiously communicated launch dates have been postponed a few times already, so keep the option open that it could take another 2-4 weeks.

None anymore. My faith in the price has been burned in 3 long HODL years (kind of Betamax vs VHS).

Translation done.

Note: the text contains some code that makes part of the affected sentence fall away in the output.

What do you mean with this?

To cuddle or speak some hard truth?

Yes and yes.
