You're losing me a little bit Hive account@stan. I'm an software dev from a different field relatively new to decentralized IT. I'm well aware of the scaling issues in bitcoin, but when you say "when the bitcoin levee breaks it's got nowhere to go", I would presumably assume that the place that it goes is into alt's and other traditional safe havens. In fact, I predicted that this was going to be the most likely scenario for the failure of bitcoin to scale a couple of months ago. But wouldn't lightning network, schnorr signatures make a difference? Of course if they wait too long, something will take it's place that can scale.
