It blows my mind that a forum with mostly technically people (hacker news) is constantly awash with blockchain fanatics. Have you people never had a scaling problem? Understanding how well different systems can scale is one of the core competencies required by developers and blockchains are fundamentally designed not to scale because increasing the number of nodes just increases your "trust" in the system.
