  • Except BTC doesn't scale enough even for small nations.

    • Read about scaling layers (L2 and L3s) it absolutely scales. You can use one L1 transaction to create a lightning channel, you can then have an infinite number of transactions in that channel between you and any partie(s) you want. All off-chain. The chain secures these transactions by being the enforcement mechanism. Just like a contract works because you can run to a court and get it enforced. The court only handles 1% of contracts ever written. Courts scale, Bitcoin scales.
