Totally agree @sydesjokes media share news without thinking before they put 'pen to paper'.

Yes, lot's of media reports are written unburdened by further knowledge.

But - again - what concerns me regarding Bitcoin is the tsunami of unconfirmed transactions. The last week told everone who wants to know: even a pre-taste of mainstream adoption makes Bitcoin collapse.

Will the shift from Bitcoin to better altcoins be followed by a shift away from blockchain to better technology?

This technology is so young @rockwellontherun my feeling having been involved in this technology for almost 3 years is Bitcoin will remain the 'mothership' for awhile.

New alt-coins will possibly become more easy to handle with lower charges and faster movement. This would be ideal when one of the crypto currency coins show ease of use throughout the world.

My advice remains, research and see if the coin is going to add value to people or business and stick with those that have good reason to remain.
