The way I see it is that all the people who understand the real value in Bitcoin are still focused on improving Bitcoin. While most of the people who think the "value" is in how much fiat they can make have largely moved on to ICOs and are effectively spreading a finite pool of dev talent over an increasingly large number of altcoins. This means that the largest body of active developers remains fully behind Bitcoin, because all the people who decide they don't want to work on Bitcoin can't agree on what they should work on together, so they all go off in different directions and do their own thing.
Because of this, no other coin can match the impetus behind Bitcoin. They simply don't have the labour force. Just because some people lose their way, it doesn't slow us down. All the speculation in the world isn't going to help these altcoins, because, if anything, going off and looking for the "
next big thing" leaves you isolated when everyone else sticks with the "
tried and tested" battle-hardened incumbent. Only a tiny proportion of these upstarts will ever reach a stage where they might gain attention from merchants and other real-world use cases.
As such, the Bitcoin revolution continues unimpeded. Forget what the headlines say, it's still happening.
but the likes of Mr P Noon who's project manager of LN won't even answer emails and the censorship we in the developer section
of this site receive is a total joke.
Try getting their name right, it might help. There's a J Poon if that's who you mean. If you're emailing someone called P Noon, it's worth considering the possibility that might be why they aren't returning your emails. And let's face it, if you're too dense to even figure out how to email someone, you probably shouldn't be trying to post in the Development & Technical Discussion boards. You are the only joke here.
