What technical development are you speaking of? I thought the Bitcoin community didn't want any modifications to Bitcoin.

  It doesn't even scale enough for mass adoption. Who said it shouldn't have any modifications?

    Not me. I am trying to understand which developments the author of the parent comment is talking about.

      Probably Lightning Network.

        There are some nice updates in Lightning Network, e.g. I just saw that Lightning Labs released beta of a “non-custodial” mobile wallet that with good UX internally runs Lightning node on the phone: https://blog.lightning.engineering/announcement/2019/06/19/mobile-app.html https://blog.lightning.engineering/announcement/2019/06/19/m... I think the UX is still far from great, but it’s slowly getting there.
