Someone actually made an interesting comment on Nano recently.
He said that Bitcoin needs to be overthrown if crypto is to have a future. With all of the corporate coins coming out, if all they’re competing with is Bitcoin which is slow and expensive to use then they’re going to dominate the crypto space entirely. It’s necessary to actually have an independent coin that’s competent enough to compete with these corporate coins.
I never thought about it like that, but he’s right.
I know I’m a Nano evangelist, and I know it can be annoying, but Nano is everything Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to be. Instant, free transactions with 0% inflation. The only thing it’s lacking is awareness and access. And from the looks of it both of those things are going to be worked on very soon.
No need to refute lies. Nano's prestige will not be stooped to such a level.

not an expert. But afaik this isn't a problem anymore, or won't be in the near future if it hasn't been solved already. Transactions still have to be confirmed/verified by the network, and this is done by nodes that have a shitton nano staked to it. In order to successfully do a MitM attack, the attacker will have to have a significant amount of voting power if he's working solo (which means have over half the active network staked to his node, which is unrealistic). I'm not sure how far you can get by denying access to other validating nodes. The victim just has to have a connection to one big boi and the attacker is fucked. Besides, it only takes a few seconds at most for the victim to figure out if he's being attacked, rather than being vulnerable until x blocks have been mined (which is a vulnerability for regular chains including btc).
Since the post you're referencing is from early 2018, it was probably a legit problem back then, but nano has advanced a lot technologically and afaik this isn't a problem anymore.
