I am convinced bitcoin will scale with or without a softfork.

I am convinced we will never scale to a point everyone will be able to own a utxo.

I am convinced most people will prefer to have a custodian.

I am convinced every high productive person willing to be sovereign and own a utxo will be able to.

I am convinced that even with the most pessimistic bitcoin future it will make the world a better place. It already have.
