Bitcoin and all the altkoins are the first pancake lump. But it needs to be remade correctly. You can skip this message. But almost all coins will collapse. The arrival of new coins is not far off. Coins will start appearing at the beginning of the year.
All the block-chain coins need to adapt the architecture because they cannot scale by using
a Micky Mouse structure where a 200gb file on 20,000 nodes needs to be kept in sync and the
real killer is having to walk back down the link lists (Block Headers) to balance a wallet because
a program needs to view all 200gb of data.
IOTA, Ripple and the not yet complete HashGraph developers understand that BTC as it is
won't scale and the BTC developers themselves also knew this from day one so it's a scam and now the
chickens are coming home to roost.
Maybe a quick change like a increase to the block size would buy some time if they wanted to
but it seems to me they are working on Lightning because they have lost interest in core BTC
given they knew all along that it was a dead duck but I am not sure anyone will trust them
anymore and they need a fix like yesterday and not in five months time.
