true we have a new choice to exchange value without a middleman. But WAIT A MINUTE with Bitcoin we got also a middleman, the miners who put pressure on us the users and force us to pay high fees to keep the blockchain running and today we suffer also from long confirmations.

Nevertheless we got great opportunities and more and more new contenders arousing our attention for value exchange with low or no transaction fees and many times faster transactions than Bitcoin. But Bitcoin currently has the deep market penetration i think and is already working in the real world others have to prove first.
