You seem to be demanding that someone somewhere make the problem go away. Personally I hope whatever grows out of bitcoin (maybe even bitcoin) makes it go away.

You seem to be demanding that someone somewhere make the problem go away. Personally I hope whatever grows out of bitcoin (maybe even bitcoin) makes it go away. It's a hard problem. It's not ideal for customers, merchants or payment processors. The reality is that it's not solvable right now without compromises. Transaction fees are high until it get solved. It could take 5, 10, 20 years. We won't know until it gets solved. Big hairy problem. I don't think it's fair to get up and demand this be solved. Who are you making this demand to?
