Insults are not arguments I thought Jeff Swann would know better than that

Yes, I know plenty about monetary debasement and austrian econ and I listen to Tom Woods regularly. You don't have some special esoteric knowledge. You can have decentralized, predictable, and PoW issuance that has none of those things in common with fiat.

Bitcoin is a global court system for proving ownership of wealth. Going to court may cost $1000+ but a court that cannot be cheated & provides a receipt with millions of dollars worth of protection almost immediately & billions pretty quickly is not for doing things where you would naturally just throw the receipt away.

You are not thinking about these things properly & you do not seem to understand the scope of the problem.

There will be as many more transactions in bitcoin as there are individual internet requests today vs phone calls in the 80s. So making blocks bigger CANNOT even begin to solve the problem. It's like standing in front of the ocean & I have a cup & you have a bucket & you are talking about how much more of the ocean yours holds. It makes no difference.

Bitcoin is a broadcast network. The overwhelming majority of payments MUST be done on a unicast layer. This is not up for debate. It's just basic reality. Whether you understand it or not is your problem.
