Yeah bitcoin is a joke for the average Joe to use right now, BCC is even worse with lengthy waits and ridiculously slow transaction confirmations. I think Tezzo’s and Maidsafe coin will be the future of crypto as they have a scientific agenda versus a political one. As soon as governments and regulators start accepting crypto as legal tender then the floodgates will open and the best technology will win and peope won’t have to rely on blockstream coin as the peg. Eth has gone such a long way to partially wrestle that scepter out of bitcoins cold dying hands.
To that end I do hope bitcoin cash takes over as the de facto store and build a proper democracy where holders of coins vote on improvement proposals.
I also wonder how long it will take for LN to actually be operational, I read somewhere that you can count the segwit transactions that have occurred in Litecoin on one hand. Also whats the point of crypto if you have to work through a 3rd party and pay patent fees, next these third party binks will require you to sign up provide proof of identity and tax registration certificates and a whole bunch of crap.
Bitcoin today is not digital cash, its nothing like cash, frankly bitcoin is a trading toy for all the rich and privileged trust fund babies who can afford to lose a few grand.
