Altcoins are (amazingly) even worse, but that doesn't make the Bitcoinsphere good. It still has no actual use case beyond illegal drugs, and is riddled with scammers and criminals at every level.

I detailed the problems as I saw them as of January here: http://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/594396.html Things really haven't improved in any regard.

Agreed. The black market is the smallest sector of the world's economy. If the best Bitcoin can do is service that market, its safe to say the Bitcoin is a massive failure.

Agree. I'm assuming it's because dealing with technical difficulties meets reasonable expectations when diving into a black market. As the pieces come together and the experience improves, it'll fade I hope.
