Sorry for making you waste your time explaining this.

I think you need to really sit and extrapolate this thesis because you're 50/50 on a lot of things.

7tps, a 1mb data cap, having to restructure and remove parts of the protocol just to get more space per block is the same thing the Romans or Europeans did when they were at the end of their economic empires

There is only one real cryptocurrency.
