It won't take long for bitcoin to no longer be the #1 crypto in marketshare. Do you want bitcoin to become the myspace of crypto? Because this is how you get bitcoin to become the myspace of crypto.
Keep on dreaming for a replacement, Bitcoin will always be nr1. Satoshi solved groundbreaking problems, go read Satoshi white paper + in particular the references at the end. Bitcoin is the result of all that knowledge combined.
Warning; you dont read that stuff just for the fun. Even those super geeks at IBM ore Microsoft couldn't create something like Bitcoin, im sure they almost getting a heart attack when they discovered Bitcoin.
Currently there are 682
shitcoins alt-coins out there at coinmarketcap, not even 1 comes close to Bitcoin. It's a huge insult when you claim that Bitcoin will be the myspace of crypto.
Segwitt is the best possible update Bitcoin can have. For a real shot for mainstream we need something like Lightning/Thunder layer. If people think 10mb to 1gig blocks wil do the job, there are wrong, it's not enough for a global payment system. One of the strenghts of Bitcoin are small-amounth payments aka Satoshi's/bits. You realy want huge capacity to handle all those millions of payment demands, you cannot hard-fork Bitcoin in the wild-west so many times to 1 gig blocks and above. The internet can't even handle that kind of blocks in this time. I see LN as a perfect way for the sheeps who cant handle ore storing private keys etc it woud be a total waste of coins for sure. The way we use Bitocin now is good for the experts ore for bigger transactions.
