The solutions are simple, the problem is political.

Hence your little propaganda campaign?


1. Increase BlockSize
2. Increase Blockspeed

Now explain why all the myriad altcoins which do exactly that are still a speck of dust in the wind compared to Bitcoin.  

How many times do you need it repeated?  DOING THOSE THINGS COMES AT A COST.  When those securing the chain are willing to pay that cost, they will do so.  Calling it a "political problem" is reductionism at best.  The problem is free will, market forces, economic incentive, network effects, consensus and the simple but undeniable fact that the vast majority of all those people across the globe currently securing the Bitcoin blockchain simply don't agree with you.  They've been given the option of running a client to increase to a 2mb base + SegWit and they turned it down.  Most users on this chain didn't want the cost of the 2mb base weight.  The icing-on-the-cake part, where you would also naturally decline to run that particular client, but only because the Segregated Witness part is what you can't reconcile with, just shows how far out of touch you are with what users on this chain want.
