  It was never designed to scale that large. The theoretical limits to transactions were known at creation time it wasn't much of a surprise. Nobody expects to solve every problem on a 1.0 release.

    It wasn't even a 1.0 release.

    You are incorrect. The best kind of incorrect: factually. Satoshi said otherwise. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149668.msg1596879#msg1596879 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149668.msg1596879#ms...

      slededit is not wrong: the original code did have a block size limit which limits tx per second. It required an update ("hard fork") to actually change this "feature". However, there was disagreement when the time for the fork came, which is why you now have Bitcoin Cash, which does support far more tx per sec and cheaper tx fees.
