Bitcoin's Real 2018 Bottleneck
From Coindesk
After a year of explosive price growth, forks, failed forks and more, there is much that can be said about bitcoin in 2017. Massive strides were taken, and much has been learned. However, as we push further into uncharted waters, what happens from this point onward continues to be just as divisive a topic as ever.Read more: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-2018s-bottleneck/Underlying both much of the year’s drama and continued future uncertainty is a simple question: Can bitcoin scale as it continues to capture mainstream attention, or will it become a victim of its own success, with alternative cryptocurrencies waiting in the wings to overtake it?
Of course, no one can honestly answer this question with total certainty. Predicting the future is a messy business, because the future is constantly in flux. It is not and cannot be fixed or predetermined. Rather, the future is being shaped and created gradually in the here and now by those unsatisfied by the present.
As George Bernard Shaw wrote:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
So, as we reflect on a breathtaking year and ponder what challenges the future may hold, it’s worth paying special attention to those unreasonable men and women who are doing the creating.
2018 is setting up to be the biggest year ever for crypto. Will we see the mighty Bitcoin adapt or be overcome by imitators? The stakes are growing by the billions.

It's really now about seeing how fast traditional fiat will crumble as the debt spiral loses all meaning/sense of reality and equality is so bad traditional consumption infirmities grind to a halt. Will crypto win or outright fascism?
