> It isn't even trying to solve it through the most straightforward way: raising the block size limit.
Okay. The blocksize is raised and now people find new uses when the thing scales better. Streaming money is one such use case. Now you raise the blocksize to a level that needs to support streaming money, now it's so big that your ASICs cannot validate all the incoming blocks, blockchain grows faster than validation.
How to fix the problem now?
Blocksize is a temporary solution to a current popularity issue. Let's just let the hype die a little bit, so there's time to find a proper solution.
If Internet issues were solved by meddling with topology or adding more cable we'd get no where near the current efficient protocols.
