Will Proof Off Stake Be The Next Attack On Bitcoin? -- https://www.yours.org/content/will-proof-off-stake-be-the-next-attack-on-bitcoin--42948d85c831

Decentralized exchanges are coming. But can they properly support Bitcoin <--> Fiat exchange? Seems to me without it they are not so important (why sell BCH for a shitcoin?), supporting it is hard

There can also, be only one, only time will tell

So how did Core end up with all the hashpower supporting its client?

A question to Core supporters: how is the blockchain supposed to be secured once the reward is low and all the transaction fees move to the LN?

Here is a great example of the growing up that the industry needs to address: https://www.coindesk.com/fake-volume-on-crypto-exchanges-isnt-the-half-of-it

A Dollar And A Dime Value

What is necessary for Bitcoin to have mass adoption?
What is the true value of Bitcoin?
The answer: People and businesses have to use the system and
the base formula for the intrinsic value of any income producing asset is
(VIR) Value = Income / Rate. All of capitalism operates on this formula.

Ultimately all ‘cryptocurrencies’ will have to address this basic equation or go into oblivion.
Miners and validators need rewards and fees or they are gone. Mining rewards are halving and transaction fees are high.
People and businesses, merchants and customers need ease of use and reasonable fees or they won’t use the system and will go somewhere else. Transaction times are slow and transaction fees are high.

Lower Fees require Scale allowing more transactions at lower cost with greater income.
Scale allows utility were businesses can invest and build systems that generate more transactions generating more fees and greater income.
Utility creates diversity gene...

I often feel the #Bitcoin social space is a 2:AM neighborhood filled with incessant barking dogs and rattling garbage cans.

I'm almost convinced that LN and Segwit are just jokes that got way out of control and are militantly backed by people with schizophrenia.
