Fair call, seems he just was a bit abridged in his simplification.

Actually I am betting against bitcoin as I only hold alts, and I only hold small amounts of POW coins because I believe the concept is not sustainable and the fixed block solve time brings certain kinds of scalability issues.

I like the look of Universa currently to try and address a lot of the POW issues and also the hard fork and Kitties type problems from full decentralisation.
