We will eventually have a trustless way to share UTXOs and Liquid or Fedimints or Arks (or whatever comes next to improve upon them) will be the way most people interact. Lightning is also likely to be more for settlement between institutions. More horizontal scaling may come in the form of cross input signature aggregation or something like that. Increasing the blocksize doesn't solve the problem. It's only a linear improvement in capacity & it is a compounding increase in the cost of node operation. You cannot sacrifice network infrastructure to gain functionality.

We have proof from ETH that increasing the blocksize kills decentralization completely. We also have proof from BCH (+ Bitcoin Dark, BSV, etc) that using hard forks introduces fundamental vulnerabilities that fuck up the network & lead to more forks & division. You just refuse to see what is right in front of you because you want your bags to pump & either don't want to admit you were wrong or you're a newb that was "educated" by people who don't want to admit they were wrong.
