Great comment. Thanks for the response.

Quoting The Revenant - Movie: When there is a storm, and you stand in front of a tree, if you look at it's branches, you swear it will fall, But if you watch the trunk, you will see it's stability.

If it's not on the protocol level, It's BS (more like patchwork but then there is my philosophy of the good,the great and the trash) I've been repeatedly calling BTC a steam engine that can't do shit.

Above is a very informative post that received many upvotes. Please read it. SegWit won't do anything significant for scaling. Lightning networks are not a protocol level developments.

Dash was created for the sake of governance, privacy and mass adoption and PIVX went don't fix it if isn't broke path. Dash has perfect governance. Bitcoin had years of conflicts and still couldn't properly solve scaling problem. There are 1MB,2MB,8MB block groups while Dash solved the entire issue in matter of hours and already on the way to 400MB blocks. That is efficiency and competence which is why I love Dash (and PIVX copied it so.... love them too.)

BTC has unpaid nodes while Dash pays the masternodes which is a model copied by so many other coins. BTC is simply a terrible long term investment. Dash isn't the only coin I'm a fan of. I love NEM, NEO, Factom,Bytom and many more.

Side chains makes everything more vulnerable, unstable and even emulate bureaucracy. The most important point is that there is simply better tech with better developers and uncensored communities. There is ZERO value in taking part in BTC. That's why I mentioned Luddites. They need steam engines with tons of upgrades instead of bullet trains.

If you need to succeed;You need to be loyal with your friends and promiscuous with your tech and investments.
