 Monero transactions offer the most cost and space-efficient transactions, at 1,419b in size with a median cost of $0.056, support the most Bitcoin-weighted TPS when comparing “reasonably private” spends with 2min blocks and an initial median of 300KB and a hard cap of 2x median, and lowest chain growth of 0.46GB/d. Monero has significantly shown to scale better than every other alternative as transactions [0] and adoption, notably dark market adoption [1] continue to increase.

 That's because no one is using it. If more people would use it, you'll run into problems fast. 
 What problems? 
 It can't scale. 
 You said that already, you said it can't scale so if people tried to use it you'd run into problems. What problems? 
 It will become unusable and centralized as it can't scale. That's obvious, no?

 "Nooo you can't look at literal adoption charts and metrics like https://moneroj.net/dread_subscribers/ or https://moneroj.net/translog/ to form opinions. You must listen to what podcast influencers, non-developers, non-FOSS advocates have to say"

 So that's like what, some tens of thousands of users? That's cute. 
 Very big anonset also lol. 
 No it's not obvious, I'm trying to understand exactly what you'd expect. You already linked to that tweet.

I'm beginning to think you don't know what you're talking about. You keep avoiding answering my questions and just say "it can't scale" but that tells me nothing except your preference. If I were new to all this stuff and curious asking you what I'm asking you, your responses would lead me to distrust you. You should know the details of what you're talking about if you intend to talk about it.
