The article points out that "if Bitcoin doesn't grow and adapt to keep up with consumer demand, it will be replaced by something that does". It just occurred to me to wonder, does this matter? Is the attachment to bitcoin anything other emotional. Surely the market will provide us with what we need, maybe it'll be bitcoin, maybe not.

To try to answer my own question;-

• If bitcoin 'screws up' might that set crypto back a few years while replacement infrastructures/networks are built?
• It wouldn't matter but that's no reason not to advocate for bitcoin to be the best that it can
