A lot of people (myself included) want bitcoin to be "money you can send to anyone anywhere anytime and no one can stop you." And conversations about the technical limits of bitcoin challenge this.
If the only way I can get the "no one can stop you" part is hitting the chain and that costs $1000, then I it isn't really "money I can send to anyone anywhere."
And if it doesn't have the "no one can stop you" part, it's not even bitcoin is it?
It feels like I am just hoping that with the right little tweak and the right innovations, we can have both.
I know, history repeats. We already went through this with the big blockers, and will probably have to forever and ever in various forms.
