I don't care much about the price of bitcoin or even if it scales. It does suck that so many newbies get bitcoin and then find out it is slow and expensive while the internet has posts on how fast and inexpensive it is (written way back when). Those same people will then side with the up and coming centralized USC (Universal Settlement Coin). We all need to get teh word out that there is no such thing as "The Blockchain" but rather "the bitcoin blockchain" and the other decentralized blockchains. Most importantly, that there are centralized blockchains like Ripple that will be government tools of control.
