> The results were not favorable for bitcoin and highlights key design problems Some would disagree, considering the system kept functioning exactly as intended under the circumstances imposed on it. Personally I agree that the whole thing is troubling, but was anything really discovered here? Considering that the price has been rising, if you believe in prediction markets, these design problems could likely be overcome. After all, people have been working on it since long before any of these stress tests were performed. |

Yes, hence the GP stating, very clearly, that the results "[highlighted] key design problems".
The results of the stress test were not surprising to anyone who's been paying close attention, but it was a valuable demonstration that Bitcoin is it currently operates is misarchitected and will require some fundamental redesigns in order to operate at scale. These problems have been under discussion since at least 2011 and have been constantly disregarded, so perhaps this will help. It seems unlikely.
