I think at point bitcoin should move in another direction. Bitcoins best use is “store of wealth” or “digital gold” ... it has so many problems with scaling, transaction fees, transaction delays, that I just can’t see it being used a serious currency. But it will work well, like gold, as a store of value, and has basically the same characteristics. Gold has a high price, high markup (fees), does make a good currency for real trade, and is better just horded.
And with the miners getting Rich off fees, and controlling bitcoin’s fake, there is no incentive for them to make it a better currency.
Some other coin needs to learn from bitcoins “mistakes” and develope the “perfect” currency.
Bitcoin trying to be a "Store of wealth" is a desperate attempt by bag-holders to try and justify the price.
Its broken, its dying, move on.
