just what I thought. Lately, BTC has really started to sssuck. Constant increases in mempool size, hence need for higher-and-higher fees. It's a pretty big reason for other coins advancing, and rightly so: the idea of COMPETING CURRENCIES (Austrian School of Economics) is just that and will result in ppl moving to other (better as in faster, less expensive, more power-efficient etc) Cryptos and, at the same time, give Altcoins a boost...
