i would agree generally but it was created as a p2p payment system, now it is becoming dominated by third parties which will control what you can do with your coins. Also fees will increase a lot over time, $1 is a very cheap opportunity.

big blockers use this as a reason to point the project in their direction. we already have bcash for big blockers. we can use bcash if we need a payment system. also, payment systems aren't really needed. regular cash works fine for most payments. what we need is a value storage mechanism. that's what doesn't exist at the moment, besides the current Bitcoin. what third parties are taking over?
