Bitcoin Today

Bitcoin drama everywhere. I get it. We get it.

The topic is sensitive, it always is, you can't talk against Bitcoin because you will be put down as a "noob" and you can't talk against Bitcoin "competitors" because they state that Bitcoin will die soon.
Extremes on both sides, and really if we're true in our vision for cryptocurrency, we don't have to be extreme and pick one side WHEN we are all really on the same side.

The original spark, interest, optimism, use-case, and overall vision is what grew Bitcoin this much for so long since 2009.
So I have to say, Bitcoin is just not the same as it was in 2010 or 2012. Bitcoin was something you can show off to people and how you can send money instantly with virtually no fees anywhere. It was something cool that you can tell your other friends and fellow geeks that you were mining for fun and being a part of the network.
But it's just not like that anymore TODAY.

Without getting bashed on, which will definitely happen after this post, all I'm trying to say is we need to get back to that. Because ideology comes to an end and reality and practicality is what will (should) last a long time. I urge readers to think about 2018. We like Bitcoin so much and we want to use it everywhere, but let's be real, we can't practically. The apparent problem is simple. If we want stores like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Gas Stations, Mobile phone companies, etc. to take Bitcoin, it HAS TO BE PRACTICAL. It's not for them.

We know the problems, and this post is not to point fingers at who is doing wrong and who is doing it right so screw everyone else, no, it's not about that. The practicality issues are scalability, transaction times, community disagreements, and so on. These delay implementation in the practical use-cases, and it seems that we are forgetting that. That's exactly what we need today, starting as soon as possible, because 10 years of slow and dramatic implementation will tarnish the name of Bitcoin unless we get it together.

Bitcoin and the crypto world is a community together. We need to be positive, practical, and united (as an image of cryptocurrencies).
I know, you're probably saying "easier said than done" which is correct. But I don't just want to be ranting without a solution. If you I knew the perfect solution, I would do it, but I know that what we can do is re-visit the original passion and vision Bitcoin instilled in everyone but now with us actually doing our best to practically implement it for an everyday, every-person, use case.

Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash? Well, they are two separate coins. It's that simple. If you align more to one than the other than go for whatever you like. There is no sense in getting into the politics. All I urge you readers to do is to put yourself in an outsider's persons shoes (A person or a business) and ask yourself what you think they see and why they don't adopt cryptocurrency more, and I can assure you, it's because of what I wrote here. The more drama and division, the longer for mass adoption to take place if at all, with Bitcoin.

We will move on, and up. We will get better.
