I'm in Bitcoin more than just for profit.
Whatever that means.
What if what they say about LN trending towards centralization (and therefore government interference and control) comes true?
Who says? Seems to show that you are relying on bullshit talking points.
LN remains voluntary and relatively small and experimental.... Long way to know how it is going to evolve and the extent to which it is going to be adopted. Currently, you can transact directly on bitcoin, so bitcoin seems to be a long way before lightning becomes absorbed as a primary tool in bitcoin (assuming as you do that it becomes some kind of mandatory direction of bitcoin.. which still seems to be a BIG ASS assumption based on current developments).
What if BCH does live up to its promise of achieving massive on-chain scalability with low fees within the next few years?
That's a pretty fucking BIG IF, too, especially since currently bcash seems to be experiencing a pretty decently sized implosion.. and where are the fundamentals in bcash, anyhow? Do you realize that no one is using bcash, but they still have nonsense talking points about which version within their self-destructive fight is going to take over the world? Seems a bit farcical to bet on those kinds of long shots that have little to no community besides scammers and c-league players that could not figure out a way to contribute their skills (assuming they have some) in bitcoin?
These are possibilities I take into account.
Well, if something has about a .002184115% chance of happening, hopefully, you are not dedicating more than that resources to such a low odds bet?
I used to be a hard core maximalist, but I have changed my stance.
Yeah, right...
You became open-minded.
Your comments seem to demonstrate that you are stabbing in the dark and getting confused by dumb-ass talking points rather than becoming more enlightened as you seem to want to suggest, by your supposed conversion assertion.
t's much more than just bitcoin now, a whole industry is forming.
Yes.. As I already suggested, If you are trying to position bitcoin as some kind of supposed equivalent project, then you seem to be unable to recognize what bitcoin is actually bringing to the table - and accordingly you seem to becoming distracted by likely snake oil rather than the real deal.
I believe ICOs do have value.
Yes, they might have value... Is anyone saying that they don't? You seem to be trying to suggest that they have some kind of equivalent position to bitcoin, and therefore, you seem to be out of touch with both giving them way too much weight and failing/refusing (or perhaps unable) to appreciate what is bitcoin.
They offer anyone in the world a chance to invest in projects they believe in.
Great.. good for them.
Go take your discussion to another thread. This thread is not about all the dumbass ways that you might be able to make money in ICOs and crypto and other coins... If you have some kind of point in connection to bitcoin , then make your fucking point, yet there is no need to be describing all of the supposed value of various ICOs in this thread, when most of the people in this thread don't give a ratt's ass. If you want to talk about bitcoin, then do it... and take your other shit somewhere else.
I don't collect tokens, but there are many projects I respect and are trying to improve the world.
Ok.. great. Is anyone disrespecting other projects such as ICOs, here? They are largely not relevant to this thread, unless you want to present them in terms of bitcoin (which you are not.. you are just making blanket statements and wanting to assume that they are equivalent to bitcoin in some general sense when the likely better assumption is that they are scams unless shown otherwise)...
Anyhow, we have more important matters, here, such as bitcoin / usd price walls to watch and other important matters such as discussions of racial superiority and hats.
