Bitcoin can only handle 3.7 or so transactions per second, worldwide. We regularly hit that now, so no need to bring more people into using Bitcoin, they'll just get disappointed.

Apparently segwit in April and lightning in August will solve all that tho... so best just relax for a while.

When monolithic lightning hubs have taken over the transactional load from the Bitcoin network, we can talk about growing the userbase again.
