Not really tech problems; you're bound to the limits of the law

> International Transfers

Not a tech problem; international trx are dropping in price as competition increases; tech doesn't change anything here.

> Micro Payments / Internet money

There is no way to scale the tech to the volume where it makes sense for microtransactions.

I'm not really seeing these as problems fundamentally limited by technology.

You can scale Ethereum by running computations off-chain and submitting batches of zero knowledge proofs on-chain. StarkWare https://starkware.co/ is the leading layer 2 for zk proofs. There are also other platforms that use other zero knowledge techniques to batch computation and sends proofs of that computation on-chain.
