The bitcoin community is now arguing to the point of death threats whether it's better to scale by adding data outside of the blocks and then making slightly larger blocks, or by adding data outside of the blocks and then adding more data outside of the blocks.

And both sides are accusing the other side of being authoritarian, for centralization, and basically being even a worst enemy than The State, which is like the worst thing ever. In the meantime, no scaling solution is being implemented, because they are too busy blocking the other side from implementing their solutions.

If you only look at Bitcoin now then you are missing out on a lot of what is going on with cryptocurrencies.

But I agree, Bitcoin had a standstill for 3 years because of nitpicking over a simple factor two scaling solution. This could end badly for Bitcoin if they don't get their act together.
