There is a reason why every argument from the big blockers is some conspiracy about a government takeover rather than one about the actual technical debate.
Why? It is easier to spin a web of nonsense than argue about protocol nuances. Here is the technical reality: Bitcoin is a broadcast layer network. A serious protocol nerd should already see the scaling problem. A broadcast network is one where every single participant must broadcast their message to every single other participant in the entire network.
This is part of how and why Bitcoin stays decentralized. It is decentralized because anyone who wants to do so can confirm every last rule of the network has been followed by every other participant for its entire history. Essentially, it has made every single one of its users their own referee to the game.

"Bitcoin functions for all the agents. My agent has eCash [and] can make purchases. That's crazy that you can deploy an entity to a random computer [that is] able to pay for itself and has the incentive to be productive so that it keeps alive."
