Maybe just you.
First there is nothing wrong with copying another idea and trying to improve it. In a marketplace where lots of people are doing this, yes many of the attempts will be lame. Some will be very interesting.
Bitcoin can be improved in many ways, for example to reduce the amount of energy required to mine it to avoid environmental damage, or to add more contract features, or just for fun (e.g. Dogecoin).
I don't think it is like Uber for X at all. It's more like bringing out a new programming language. It's a Ruby and a Python and a GO when you have C++ already. C++ got there first so we could settle on that and say it won. And no more programming languages for X.
- cocktailpeanuts 10y ago> Maybe just you. Well, first of all I don't think it's "maybe just me", looking at the thread here. Also I do agree nothing's wrong with copying other's ideas. I was criticizing the money driven nature. Also I think your programming language analogy is great. I agree. I just don't think the success will come from anyone who follows a narrative from VCs or anyone whose motivation is to make money from this gold rush.
