Their scaling solution rely too much on :
1. Moore Law, where they think all technology capability is doubled everywhere, even though most of technology improved slower

Honestly, after looking at this pic, I'd rather say they are no more than established con artists, the whole bunch of them, since anyone technically savvy understands that there are limits to processing frequencies, storage capacities, network bandwidth, etc, and we are pretty close to these limits, if not already there. In other words, all this bullshit is intended entirely for persuading general public to believe something which is not true and cannot in the least be guaranteed to come true in the future. Besides, 50 transactions per person as an ultimate goal for the whole shebang is laughable

And they call that "mankind scale", wtf

The reality is that smart guys have taken advantage of the new and evolving technology to create projects and products that are in effect heading to nowhere. That is why some analysts say that even bitcoin will soon be worthless.

In a few years there'll only one Bitcoin. Only one should prevail and we all know which one it will be

Agree entirely that only one should prevail, and only one might end up being relevant but I doubt the others will just disappear, they'll always be hanging around in bitcoin's shadow and stealing away any attention and money that they can.

I tend to disagree with this view

Though I understand your reasoning (and where it fails). Basically, you assume that things will go on as before (which is kind of natural assumption). But they won't. During the dotcom era there were many thousands of startups which were all fake and bogus, just like the majority of shitcoins today and yesterday. They are all long gone, and only a few valid and legit ones have survived (think Amazon here). In a nutshell, I expect all these coins to be gone in a couple of years. Technically, they may not be gone as in delisted from everywhere and abandoned altogether, but they will definitely be no longer relevant in the sense you mean it. Bitcoin is a survivor, Litecoin is a survivor, even fuckin' Dogecoin is a survivor, but the rest of the pack are not going to make it

Yeah and some of these coins like ltc and eth are real projects and have actual uses already. Some coin may even rise in the future to topple btc. Crypto market is vast and with vert big potential. Bitcoin by itself won't be able to fill it.

aha, actually I agree with everything you've said. I think our only difference was in timing or interpretation of 'a few years'. I think the scenario you described will almost certainly happen, but I don't think we'll see real change for at least 5-10 years, potentially more. Though I hope you're right and it's sooner rather than later.

It seems like we are already there

So we don't have to wait a few years or 5-10 years. We just need to wait before Bitcoin rebounds strongly which will be universally considered "second coming". And then we will see who has been swimming naked. I expect the majority of altcoins (otherwise known as shitcoins) to mostly remain where they are, apart from maybe a few mostly futile attempts at a quick pump-and-dump fraud. But as they say, once bitten twice shy, so people who desperately hold these coins will be happy to dump them instantly once and for all whenever an opportunity presents itself. Numerically, that would mean further expansion of Bitcoin's share in the total cap of the cryptocurrency market. This metric is to follow closely (even if it is mostly bogus in and of itself)

[susuberuang]

well, that's why I don't really like bitcoin cash because bitcoin cash has a founder that isn't too good, even today bitcoin cash is broken because it might be too selfish and can't work together better, until whenever bitcoin remains bitcoin, there is no strongest coin besides bitcoin.

This has turned into a product that no-one should trust any more. Bitcoin cash ABC / SV all shitcoins that cost us a major BTC dump by over $2000, and a potential ETF application by showing extreme volatility.

Could not agree more!

And as I explained in my other topic here, when the tide goes out, we will see who has no value on. And with it already almost gone (and let's hope there is no more low-tide), it is now clear that these shitcoins were nothing but pump and dump coins that lasted longer than they should have. People who earnestly believed in these efforts have been ruthlessly used and exploited by crooks like Roger Ver and Craig Wright



Basically, they were playing the old game of good cop, bad cop

I can think of a lot of better things to do with 1 terabyte of disk space. You could fit approximately 500 hours worth of movies on one terabyte. Assuming each movie is roughly 120 minutes long, that would be about 250 movies. Also, Assuming that the average size photo is 500K, then a 1TB HD will hold around 2 million photos. 

Now, why would I waste all that disk space to store BitcoinABC Blockchain data? These guys are living in a fairy-tale world. Just imagine how long it will take to download that in 3rd world countries with capped internet data.

Truth be told, I don't think they are living in a fantasy land

Not them but rather people who are listening to these criminals and blindly believing every their word they utter. These bastards (Craig Wright specifically) had been exploiting Satoshi's name for as long as they could but what they present to us now as "roadmaps" is a telltale sign of what they are really up to. And I hope that people will finally start to understand as well as question the real motives behind the actions of these clowns

When promises or ideas are too impossible, It would certainly be just one of those scams. We could not allow such scams to spoil every hard work the originators had put into establishing cryptocurrency. We know how bad it could affect to the investors to see or feel when they are victims of scams.

This event is truly ironic, indeed this fraud will not last long, and will certainly be resolved and the idea begins to malfunction. We can see all the tricks that are done and deserve to be shunned, not even needing to think long.

They are trying to submit new things to cryptocurrency and these things really need to hard high tech.  These promisses are too much to accomplish and there are too many things that must go well. Although there is a strong possibilty to fail, it seems that they are trying to get attention of investors. They are like politicians who are trying to be elected.

But investors are not like your voters. And what kind of investors are they trying to get attention of exactly? Bitcoin Cash (whichever flavor) pretends to be a currency (means of payment and medium of exchange, i.e. money, in simple terms), right? So why do they need investors if this coin is money, I don't get it? They should be profiting directly from money

But if it is not the case, maybe, it is not a good money after all. If this is the case, then why should we or investors care, really? In other words, money sells itself. If it doesn't, it is not money, as simple as it could ever get. Or maybe it is not investors they are in fact looking for?

Maybe, they are actually looking for bagholders, no?
