If Bitcoin is going to succeed, it will do so in a series of incremental improvements.

There is no way for a complex technology like this to pop up fully formed - decentralized, cryptographically secure, stable in price, with a smooth user experience and universal adoption and acceptance. You are witnessing the initial stages.

Darwinian almost. Yet most of the negativity I've seen on HN over the years is because they can't fathom that it will happen "incrementally". Bitcoin doesn't necessarily have to be the best system to survive, it just needs to be good enough and reach critical mass. It's like PHP.
