Are you saying there is no solution to the scaling problems? I didn't quite catch that

I'm saying that it is an overly inflated issue that doesn't really matter as much as you are making it out to matter in your assertion that the "market is waiting for a solution"

Also, I am saying that how matters are progressing now are good enough for what we've got.

For example, if BTC blocksize limit goes to 2mg or 4mg or 100mg, that is not going to solve any problems more than it potentially creates unnecessary bloat problems.

Also, to supplement my earlier post, may of us should recall various criticisms of BTC regarding how it is supposedly not efficient enough, flexible enough, and it cannot be programmed as easily to carry out a large variety of automated tasks... and therefore, bitcoin is dead versus various bitcoin 2.0.. blah blah blah.

The most important things about bitcoin is it's security, especially when we are talking about it's first application (currency). Yes, likely in the near future, bitcoin is going to be able to do a lot more things, but let's walk before we run... and also, let's build up (and continue to build up) our user base.

There continue to be a lot of people "on the fence" about bitcoin, and they are not "on the fence" because of some kind of supposed "scaling solution," they are on the fence because (not necessarily in the following order): 1) they are waiting for others, 2) they are waiting for user-friendliness 3) they want to be comfortable that their investment is going to hold value (or better yet, appreciate in value).
