I made a thing to represent the current state of Bitcoin, as lead by Blockstream. You may need to right click on it and click view image to see it better(it looks really small on my screen for some reason, sorry!)

They need to get their crap together. And yes, /r/bitcoin is insane with censorship.... reddit is to censoring for my tastes for the most part. This steemit place is nice for now and in a good position overall. I only see actual spammers/scammers/copy and pasters/toxic(swearing/abusive) being downvoted on steemit, and rightly so.

Completely agreed. ETH wasn't really going any place and neither were Monero and some of the others. People got fed up with the random spam attacks causing days of delays or having to pay huge fees. Bitcoin is where it is due to them being so cautious about not overloading the system and wanting to allow raspberry pis to be able to run as a node and what not...

Now their actions had the consequence of giving up huge market share to altcoins, turning people off of bitcoin all together, making a contentious Hard Fork happen, and it seems they don't want Segwit2X to happen now either so another Hard Fork looks to be coming... It is mind boggling...
