Bitcoin went from being antifragile to being perceived as fragile, which was a stupid thing to do. I want to see chaos and the honey badger rising again!
Ethereum is a **** currency and a **** payment network.
$1 fees will just prove people are perfectly willing to pay for it.
Hopefully SegWit can activate so we can scale a little short term, and LN solves the low fee/instant case.
