There are those that have said 'Bitcoin fixes that...'  for just about everything from war to poverty to politics. But! What fixes Bitcoin?
Well, there are thousands of other options out there and a few of them are quite viable. Litecoin, for example is literally a carbon copy of Bitcoin with 2 small differences, block time of 2.5 min & total fixed supply of 84M. It bests BTC with it's 100% uptime (the LTC network has never been down since it's inception in 2011) and optional fungibility built in.
