> - There is an immediate scaling problem: The mean and median blocksize is converging on the max blocksize of 1MB, and transactions waiting to get into the block blow out on a daily basis to 20MB. This backlog of waiting transactions causes users to pay high fees to get their transaction to the front of the queue, and causes delays in processing/confirmation times.

Maybe the answer to this is extreme-pruning blockchains, e.g. MimbleWimble. > some people think the blocksize is a fundamental part of the genius breakthrough in technology that is the blockchain, and so cannot be tinkered with. This is wrong I don't think they claim that blocksize is directly fundamental, what they might say is that decentralization is fundamental, and blocksize changes could undermine it.
