There are indeed other cryptos that can handle scaling far better now already, than Bitcoin could ever do.
Graphene (bitshares) and its successor chainbase (steem/eos) are build to do that in the best possible way.
Even with SegWit, that could be a good move forward, Bitcoin will stay at low transactions per second. It is constructed to hold high value per BTC.
In my most recent post I refered to the ongoing fight and how that is bad for the value of Bitcoin. That means it will byte back at those who keep fighting.
Strange, as if they do not get who this will only lead to all fighting parties losing.
This might be worth a repost.
