 you talk about bitcoin forks but what would be the upgrade that would enable all the good things? I don't think any proposed or imaginable L2 is actually scalable, and apparently you don't either given that you are an ecash supporter

in any case obviously forks are important and we should have them asap

imagine harder

false dichotomy, ecash is complementary to on-chain bitcoin not rival

> forks are important and we should have them asap

Yes and no, they are very important but we should take our time and get it right because there are no take-backs. This doesn't mean bikeshedding every proposal to death. It means picking a problem to solve, proposing solutions, choosing the proposal that makes the best tradeoffs, and committing to its activation. 
 what solution do you have in mind? if it was possible to do a scalable L2 wouldn't have been done on ethereum already? 
 ethereum is already unscalable, you can't build a superhighway on a foundation of sand

I don't have a readymade solution in mind. We don't have good tools at the lowest layer. Satoshi took a hatchet to bitcoin script right before he scooted out the door forever. GSR looks very compelling but it's still in the idea phase at this point. This is a great read though: https://x.com/n1ckler/status/1854552545084977320

 
 RGB and that family of solutions scales perfectly well.  The issue here is not technical.
