If Bitcoin works out the scalability issues in a similar fashion

Will BTC ever be a good platform for buying coffee is the general question.

If yes then why would LTC be useful anymore, if no, then I see them both being adopted and used.

Bump for answer

Smaller units which are easier for the average person to deal with, using two networks reduces transaction time for Bitcoin, litecoin has also proven to be a much more stable currency than bitcoin historically.

Bitcoin is like virtual gold, a safe store of value for people in unstable countries or for people who do lots of dealings in crypto. Litecoin is like the crypto equivalent of Fiat. Both will have a future imo

>Will bitcoin Hardfork, soft fork or nothing? That is what you're asking here.

Currently BTC is not useful for buying "coffee" due to the limited size of transaction blocks. Although increasing the size of BTC transaction blocks casts further uncertainty on BTC by moving in the direction of lessor decentralization.

Developers are spit;
>Do we keep current block size, and keep BTC's principles of a decentralized currency.

>Increase block size and allow BTC to grow with demand, but move towards a more decentralized network.

Its already pretty centralized due to asics a d a few mining pools controlling everything

True decentralized currency will be an asic resistance pool resistant algo

Exactly why increasing block size is a further move against de-centralization, undermining BTC's core objective and then possibly value?

Currently I think BTC is treated more like a bank bond than a competitor to fiat. And I think it should stay that way, rather than me the nu way to buy your mikky d's.

I think some other form of block-chain currency should take the role of more day to day handling. Although not sure on what currency, maybe it has yet to even be released.

There is literally no progress being made with regards for BTC scaling, I will 100% hodl LTC until BTC sorts its shit out
