> The arguments we hear about bitcoin are in similar vein as what was said about the WWW in 90s

Is that supposed to mean something? You're posting on HN, surely you're smart enough to understand the difference between correlation and causation.

For instance if someone had been pointing out flaws in bubble sort with a similar analogy they'd have been right: bubble sort is crap and outclassed by a host of superior sorting algorithms.

Bitcoin was born outclassed in many important ways. People put up with it because of other perceived advantages, but now seem unwilling to drop their support once those advantages were destroyed.

Instead people keep trying to pile hacks upon hacks onto the Platonic epicycles of the Bitcoin blockchain, when what people need to be doing is to quit thinking that the blockchain is the center of the universe.
