I remember a time when my modem had to dial up to internet, and everything was slow. And I remember that whatever you searched on google, there was at least 1 porn result in the top 10. I also remember when electric cars were not nearly as good as gasoline cars.

Technology advances. If you're stuck looking at what is inferior now, you will not see what is possible in the next few years.

You are talking about a technical problem, which can be fixed.

Not all technical problems can be fixed.

Sure but that's a general statement not applicable to the current situation. There are already known technical solutions to the scaling problem. The issue is social, i.e. getting everyone to agree to a protocol upgrade, not technical.
