That's another way to put it, haha. I must admit my technical knowledge of blockchain isn't deep enough to fully contribute to the debate around increasing block size. Nevertheless, from my current knowledge and drawing upon that of "experts", it seems that the lightning network could alleviate many of the current issues.

That's funny, since LN whitepaper mentions that it needs 133 horses, I mean 133 MB block size to provide 1 LN tx annually to everyone in the world. It seems to me LN can not function without block size increase.
