Since it's something a large number of people are working on, I don't worry about it as much as I used to. There's definitely stuff in the pipeline that's going to assist with scaling, so it's just a matter of waiting.
scalability talks heightened in 2015.. its now 2019 .. 4 years of waiting... yawn
and no solution insight for the btc network
and no dont even bother to pump the PR waggon about alternate networks like sidechains and networks that are not even blockchains.
May i ask what is your scaling solution, i agree side chains are not the solutions but in your opinion what you will do to scale bitcoin, i have seen some of your debates in this forum and you are a good critic but i am yet to find your solution on how to scale. LN is an option for users who are willing to accept payments through it and it will aide merchants for micro payments and i hope there will be other viable solutions in the future for mass adoption.
