Bitcoin won't be the crypto payment method. It'll be the Crypto gold that keeps the market together. Another small and light coin will be the payment method and possibly replace bitcoin after a while.

RaiBlocks is looking pretty good with its zero fees and sub-minute transaction times

  Raiblocks and IOTA are the two to watch, yes.

    There are concerns about IOTA: MIT Media Lab's concerns about the cryptocurrency IOTA https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15980675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15980675

    IOTA is not made to be a currency to shop online or buy coffee, it's an IoT currency. Stop trying to shill what you've bought. It's also deeply flawed, centralized and its wallet is not user friendly.

      Believe it or not, I don't have IOTA nor XRB in my portfolio.

  I thought that at first blush, but they haven't figured out how to incentivize nodes or prevent spam. Pretty big issues IMO
  - StavrosK 9y ago
    Yes, and as much as I like the currency, the perpetual "they'll do it out of the goodness of their hearts" answer to "who will run a node with no incentive" isn't very convincing.

      Isn't that exactly the same with every cryptocurrency? Why would you run a bitcoin node?
      - StavrosK 9y ago
        No, it's not. A RaiBlocks node is equivalen to a Bitcoin miner. You'd run it because it makes money.

    you can add fees to raiblocks, isn't it just a matter of forking it?
