That's the discussion. Technical hurdles appear to be solvable. The core concept should still be sound. It's the political structure around Bitcoin that appear to be killing it. Fixing Bitcoin would be the best solution, but the politics and governance structure aren't letting this happen. Aside: As I age I'm understanding more and more how critical leadership is. All of the pieces are there for Bitcoin to succeed, but they aren't organized correctly. The second option is the community choosing to change to a different client, so that by a grassroots movement, eventually the blockchain moved in the right direction. It would likely be a rough transition for uneducated people, companies, and software for businesses that use Bitcoin, but if it can't be official, it would have to be something done similarly to XT. The last solution is to switch to another cryptocoin and blockchain entirely. I don't keep up with news, so hopefully some of the smaller coins have implemented fixes. This would set back blockchain-based cryptocurrency a few years, though. If the whole community abandoned Bitcoin and moved to Vertcoin or Dogecoin, companies that went out of their way to support Bitcoin might be reluctant to follow.
