For anyone reading this concerned about the state of bitcoin and this sub:
There have been posts that complain about this sub turning into a meme and greed sub. That there is no more discussions about improving the technology or about uniting the community. Now, take a look at the comment I'm responding to and just think about why this sub is the way it is.
The OP (original post) is about the technology and is asking for the community to contribute testing the lighting network. If you haven't already, you should try it out and witness how amazing and real it is. You'll realize that scaling is possible and being worked on.
This sub is filled with spammers, trolls, and lil FUDsters. It always has been. However, this space has grown and attracted a lot more people. Some new, some good, some bad, some close minded, some short sighted, etc.
The point of my comment is to highlight the comments/posts that contribute nothing to Bitcoin's progress. Anytime you see some "alarming" or "warning" or the-sky-is-falling type content, take it with caution. This post is specifically about advancing the technology and the comment I'm responding to highjacked the top comment to sneak in a snarky, obvious remark and goes as far as to provide "proof". Nothing in his response adds anything meaningful to what the OP posted about but they felt to chime in right under the top comment.

Also, after never having seen that gifarch site, I've just now seen 3 links on Reddit in the past 5minutes. Not kidding. Spam is all it is.

I can only give you one upvote but I crammed as much karma in there as I could. To the moon with karma for you.

I wish we could get this type of tolerance for exchanges implementing Segwit. Pitchforks for exchanges and infinite patience for LN and Core wallet. The duality is astounding.

Yes, Bitcoin is overloaded. It shot from, what, 2000$ to $19000 within a year. We are sure our amazing developers are going to fix this as soon as they can. This doesnt mean the protocol is messed up, its just having a hard time scaling at this level.
I'm sick of BCASH users saying "lets abandon ship, fellow kids". No. And IF, big IF, we were to abandon ship, BCASH would be the last one to go to. Why?
It's a shitcoin compared to already well performing, faster, cheaper, more decentralized coins.
tl;dr - fuck off bchashers.
