Hey Steemian - nice post. Personally, I think people are getting to wrapped around the "technicals". The future of Bitcoin, and other "viable " cryptos is going to be driven based on application and usage over time. I am in this for the LONG haul. For what and how BC and others will change culture, and for how it will continue to decentralize commerce at large, affording enclaves and peer networks to transact-on-trust. Quite frankly, this is what the banks and the regulatory agencies fear...that a large number of consumers go "off the fiat" and "onto the grid" to transact as they see fit, for their purposes. And that is not about technicals, as it is moreso about utility.

Keep up the good posts!
