 Anyone starting an argument with "we need to compete with X" where X is some shitcoin can be safely ignored.

 Whether we have to compete with shitcoins depends on your goals for Bitcoin, whether you want NGU, and whether you are a maximalist of any definition. 

All monies do compete, after all. 

Typically, the actual scam is engineers portraying complexity as a scaling solution, which happens to all blockchains, including Bitcoin.
