You don't seem to understand what my claim is, and your example was just speculation that doesn't reflect reality.

I never said there were goal-posts... if anything I said they couldn't exist, and even if you could score, you'd get points in the wrong game.

I could take a look at e.g, anything... but when you add a caveat of participation, scaling to infinity is inherently possible. If we all chose to do something, we could all do it.

The problem comes with attracting such participation, which isn't warranted without that very participation having already been established.

Carts and horses and such.

Competing with Bitcoin's TPS in the single digits, high-hundreds/low thousands is a big leap... but still not enough to replace the higher order global currencies. In order to gain the necessary L2 support, they'll have to establish dominance relative to bitcoin with an equally lacking TPS.

Seems like a "If they come, we will build it" problem.
