I wrote a post 2 weeks 'why i'm not selling my coins'.
At the time, it appeared that BU was gaining serious momentum, but
now we appear to be deadlocked again. I'm not going to get too political
about this, but to make a long story short, stalement = blockstream/core
getting its way = little to zero on chain scaling in the forseeable future.
And what appears to be happening is that Bitcoin is being subverted,
not just by Blockstream but by outside actors who are employing a
sophisticated divide and conquer scheme.
Notice how neither segwit or BU can win the mining war... and that
is exactly what 'they' want.
I hope Bitcoin prevails but I am no longer comfortable keeping all my
eggs in one basket.
Honestly I feel the same way.
A lot of others are also hedging against a potential bitcoin collapse altogether by protecting their wealth and buying into altcoins such as Ethereum, Dash, and Ripple. Even though am I a strong believer of bitcoin, just like OP, i cannot help but try to be the safest with my funds.
I'll be diversifying probably 30% of all my bitcoins into altcoins.
I hope bitcoin can sort itself out this time round, and end this debate altogether. I don't care which side wins, honestly. As long as we have a working payment processor without the debates.
Not bad at all as long as you divide into some parts instead of keeping all of yours in altcoin.
We know some alts has genuine idea and bigger potential to grow and rise than others as time goes on.
However, bitcoin still doing so good all this time. Look at the charts of bitcoin (price or unconfirmed transaction), it's getting better even though the debate about development shows no sign that would be ending soon.
