Bitcoin the protocol or
Bitcoin the currency?!

You should refine your question!

As far as I am concerned, Bitcoin is good since it got my started in Crypto and was the first to start the crypto market.  An addition to having BTSX and DNS, I have BTC and have added to my BTC earlier this month when the Bitcoin $ price fell hard.  I also plan to add more BTC if/when it falls again.  If anyone is in cryptos, then BTC should be a significant part of your crypto holdings in my opinion.  I also continue to earn bitcoin from the faucets and I have used a significant part of my BTC faucet earnings to buy NOTES from the Bitshares Music website during the current pre-sale period.

The proper answer is the same for both. At the moment Bitcoin protocol and currency are very good and key to engaging mainstream. For all the ambitions of BitShares and others, everything is relative to Bitcoin. We should be keen to promote Bitcoin adoption as that is and will remain for a long while yet the principal route into BitShares.

The bitcoin blockchain is like the crypto bible. It contains the mark of Satoshi.

That only makes it a "bible" because you 'think' of Satoshi as a wise and honest guy ..
if Satoshi was NSA, FSB or any other shady organization (not just a guy).. would you still called it 'bible'?

In fact, the reason above is one reason I like BitShares:
- no shady people around
- everything  publicly discussed

You see where this is going?
