I strongly encourage you give the article a read before you give input because the writer takes a very interesting stance.
Some FUD on reddit is hardly an article, it is worse when they are using terrible altcoins for comparison. I myself love the idea of using Directed Scyclic Graph and I wish some good developers explored it more but unfortunately the existing coins (namely IOTA and NANO) are just terrible at it, specially since they are completely centralized which is already covered above.
The thing is that bitcoin has found a way that works fine called Proof of Work and is providing an excellent security. It also found a way to reach a balance where the incentive is always there for miners to not only stay and provide security but also for mining to keep growing and the security to increase over time. This is provided whether with adoption increasing (ergo rising price) or the fee market if needed which won't be needed for about 100 years.
So far we have seen at least a dozen different substitute algorithms but most were vaporware and none of them were capable providing enough security, decentralization and reach a balance like bitcoin has.
New-coiners see things like this and dumb all their Bitcoin.
You mean "dump"? That would be excellent news, people who have no understanding of bitcoin and panic sell based on some random misinformation on the internet are best leave bitcoin behind sooner than later.
