+Concerns?

+Your question makes sure that the proper answers don't fit.

+Point is, Bitcoin is a growing network, with a growing amount of transa=

+How do we know? Because of the old guys in this list having the experie=

+that this always happens, because anyone in the IT business can tell yo=
+u the=20

+
+We have started LN to cope with this growth, but this won't be enough s=

+just won't handle all usecases and thus the on-chain growth will contin=

+We need both LN as well as bigger blocks.
