People will argue until they're blue in the face about if blockchains can scale, what is or isn't decentralized, privacy, etc.

But in reality, this is all that matters:

1. Can you practically use it without anyone's permission today?

2. Can no single entity prevent your ability to use it today?

3. Is there real evidence that this will improve in the future?

That's it. Nothing else matters!

When I stopped living on Bitcoin in 2016, it was because all three of the above turned to "no." I switched to Dash (which I mainly use to this day), and all three switched to "yes," and the yes has gotten stronger for all of them as the years have gone on.

You'll see people argue that you need to run a node, that this L2 works, that you can't scale without centralization, and all kinds of nonsense.

But refer to these three points above, and everything starts to fall about.

It's (almost) 2025, 2014 arguments don't apply anymore.
