People often like to talk about scalability an how important it is (rightfully so) but at the same time I don't think we often see anyone acknowledging what holds scalability back.
Earlier a friend sent me this article;

Couldn't something like this be implemented in Bitcoin?
NO, I don't think that bitcoin will change its protocol or implementation, and that's why we have so many fork bitcoin. But then again, did they succeed or not? Right no one did, BSV, BCH are all dead and it shows that bitcoin will stood the test of time no matter what argument they have against it. As for the fees, way back in 2017 it was really high, but then there was Segwit and then LN.
