Bitcoin seems to be scaling just fine at the protocol level. Especially when you compare it to its true competitors; other base monies and the rails they settle through.

Bitcoin is already settling ~2x the amount of transactions that Fedwire settles.

 From all the options I'm seeing for scaling further, the zk roll ups seem the most promising. Am I completely wrong?

 Fedwire is domestic US payment rails

Bitcoin is global so more accurate comparison is “Swift”

Good analogy for your domestic audience

 You can lower the bar to such systems if you want. When can I use it as money?
