Ver makes good points.  Bitcoin needs to scale soon.  Transaction fees are way too high.  I stopped using Bitcoin quite awhile ago because it is slow, cumbersome and expensive.  Is it a store a value?  Sure but other cryptos are currently taking that market cap like Ethereum.  You have to be blind not to see it.  The interviewer has his head in the sand.  Bitcoin is about to lose dominance when the fork hits in regard to market cap.  Also, its usability will still suck and its infrastructure will be rife with replay attacks, confusion, broken wallets, exchanges delaying its use,  hacking, anti-voluntary ddos attacks etc.

Now having said that, is Ver a programmer?  No.  Is BU buggy?  Yes.  Who has the best team of crypto programmers on the planet?  Core.

Questions that should have been asked are how much did Ver himself vote on vote.bitcoin.com?

If you hodl bitcoin you very well may end up with two coins but you will have missed the altcoin train to wealth.  The smart money has already left bitcoin, or at least portions of it.
