I love the point you rise at the very end of your article as it hits straight on the Achille's Heel of Bitcoin! I think it has ben known long enough by now for people really interested in the matter to know there is a major limitation relating to the confirmation of transaction that will be picked up by the media, as a weapon of mass destruction in that case, used to scare the masses away from the general independent cryptocurrencies. the spin doctors, from there only have to direct the masses toward the almighty and apparently benevolent powerful cryptocurrencies brought forth by the governments...

Let's hope the people will come to the realization that there is out there cryptocurrencies having the full capabilities of offering what Bitcoins has to offer and much more. The Bitshares and Steem environment have dealt with this a long time ago, as the people behind it are the same people who actually invented Bitcoins in the first and became aware very early on that Bitcoins had deficiencies to be dealt with as soon as possible. Luckily, it has been dealt with.

Now, it is time to expose such facts to the general public for the adoption to rise and fly! All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
