"Bitcoin doesn't scale" is not a mantra, it is an objective fact that any rational engineer can observe about its design.
You can just use math; it isn't actually debatable. I will make anyone look like a fool for such beliefs if given a fair format.
Further, Bitcoiners have some retarded views on what things like money, payments, and settlements are, so they support dead-end research that appeals to their emotions and hopes.
You. Will. Never. Scale. Bitcoin. Trustlessly.
Thus you will always need to digitize trust explicitly.
It's your lack of creativity & experience that makes you think any of this is coping or naive.
I am offering a solution that maintains P2P sovereignty, not excuses.
quoting"Freedom can't compete without coordination and trust."

that's true. but still #bitcoin is pointless if it requires trust for the vast majority of the population to access the most basic utilities of money and savings. lending and credit, that stuff can somewhat rely on trust (obviously the incentives have to align against fraud), altho does not always have to.
the "bitcoin doesn't scale" mantra is really just laziness and cowardice masquerading as wisdom.
