Do you think that Bitcoin has become too slow to compete with the relatively quick alt coins out there? Is it realty competitive to have a slow community rather than a centralised decision making in development?
In other words, does the community effect of decentralisation enough to counterbalance the difficult decision making processes?
Bitcoin has never been slow but rather takes a smart movement all by itself. For the other coins, they are normally seen following the pump and dump trend especially during the first few weeks after their launch on the market. After the pump and dump, these alt coins which moved with the speed of wind experience corrections and stabilizes or continue the trend of dump.
