Bullshit. It serves the purpose of allowing more transactions to occur on the blockchain per unit time. Whether or not that is something you desire is irrelevant.
There is no significant and especially unique solution that provides or problem it solves. Its a tacit assumption that the introduction of a "better" medium of exchange solves something.
Yes, I believe you have hit the nail on the head here. The reason many people have a hard time with all of this is because they have believed for many years that Bitcoin is solving a problem in the world by becoming a medium of exchange. We are talking years of writing, posts, belief, momentum, etc.
It is very hard for people with this amount of investment in the idea of Bitcoin as a future medium of exchange, including myself, to even temporarily consider the possibility that it may be more expedient to not expand the utility of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
Personally, what I have done is to temporarily suspend my belief that is
must become a widely accepted medium of exchange long enough to see what you are talking about.
What we have been talking about here, long before you showed up is: Bitcoin -> wider acceptance -> higher TPS -> price stability -> take on the banks -> etc.
The ideas you have presented in this thread are revolutionary given the collective closely held belief systems of the entire Bitcoin community.
