Here's another: As long as the law of supply and demand defines the price of block bytes, we can never on-board billions or even millions of people on a layer-1 solution, unless we undermine another important property; being practical to verify the ledger.
Iirc last time we had this there were two directions for action:
1. get the community point their finger towards the services (wallets & exchanges) that were spamming the network
2. get bitcoin one step forward with SegWit
Imho telling that current situation is OK is not the best course of action.
I may be hated for saying this, but what's currently happening in the mempool is a feature, not a bug.
...
Another important reminder: Censorship won't prevent monkey jpegs.
True that. Still, not counting (nor restricting) at all those P2TR related bytes is imho a bug, not a feature.
A lot of Monero proponents on Twitter are bragging about Monero, and how it's better cash. Do they have any idea how bad the system works if the network was clogged up with gigabytes of monkeys every once in a while? I know, it'd still be cheap, but to finish syncing you'd have to verify like a million of monkey-ring signatures, which would slow down it by orders of magnitude.
Afaik Monero went - many, many years ago - for virtually no block limit. I may be wrong, because I didn't keep up with their news.
Of course, this can come with other kind of problems, but (sadly) they don't have this magnitude of being used by people (so we don't know).
