RE: BLOCKCHAIN: In the future History may stop being written/edited by the victor...
Nice post dwin! i just wonder what how the world will embrace the adoption for segwit2X and maybe the hard fork! what is your guys opinion on that? here are two useful article that i found online and on twitter:

and this
I am not the best to ask about this. I actually am not too invested into bitcoin. I would have been if I had taken the risk long ago when I first learned of it (At less than 1 cent per coin). I can say as a user of it that they NEED something, and they need it fast. My biggest issues with cryptocurrency are the slow speed and delays. This is typically on the bitcoin side of things. So I'm all for them trying something new to see if it works. Bitcoin for me right now is just the intermediary I use to convert crypto to fiat when I need to make purchases, or as the intermediary when I feel like buying other crypto. I do not think it is the best, not even close. It simply was the first, and is the most established. You actually are using one of the best right now. The Steem Blockchain is one of the fastest in the world. I suspect EOS will end up faster, but other than that steem and bitshares are the fastest in terms of how many transactions they can do at a time. It is much faster than Ethereum, and light years faster than bitcoin.
So I am anxious for the bitcoin community to TRY something. If it doesn't work they just better not treat it like dogma and better be willing to back up or try something else.
with the lightning network we should get (near) instant transactions on bitcoin. try to beat that ;-)
hopefully we will get it though.. it's taking so long :-(
We shall see. :) If it is that fast it'll be good. Yet steem blockchain is also more than a currency. ;)
