    Brian Armstrong‏ @brian_armstrong 23 Feb 2015

    Ripple, Stellar, and Altcoins are all a distraction. Bitcoin is way too far ahead. We should be focused on bitcoin and sidechains

        @brian_armstrong Whoa. #BitCoin has first mover and marketing. Compared to some #AltCoins , as a "currency", it's lousy. Sidechains ≠ a fix.

        @GoCoinCEO @01101O10 I hope you think paycoin is a scam now. You lost all credibility with those tweets you made in December.

        @brian_armstrong And FAR MORE secured than all of the altocins combined over and over again. BTC hash rate 300,000 X that of LTC. Any Qs?

        @BitfuryGeorge It's shocking that the CEO of a Bitcoin mining company does not understand that SHA256 hash is not comparable to Scrypt hash

        @TheRealMage after doing basic adjustment for the difference you will still get a far more secure network using bit coins.. far more!

        @BitfuryGeorge @TheRealMage That's kind of expected. As Bitcoin's marketcap is 50x that of Litecoin's. So security should be 50x more also.
