The Best Path For Scaling Bitcoin
summary
Four concrete paths debated with numbers and working demos: drive chains claim 12–14 merged L2s can handle ~9 trillion transactions by 2030 and deliver ~$900B/yr to miners; ZK rollups promise a trustless Bitcoin peg and live development from OP Labs; fedi mint is a federated ecash already deployed to scale privacy and tiny payments; Lightning runs on mainnet since 2018, now adding Taro assets for scalable token issuance and using submarine swaps and Liquid for cross-layer interoperability and custody options.
