"we just haven’t cracked building cryptocurrency payment rails without an (untrusted!) party being involved." And you probably never will. Because that is precisely what makes bitcoin such hard money. It's why everything else is shitcoins. The tradeoff always will be decentralization vs throughput. So, use the shitcoins for coffee money and use bitcoins for auditable (!) base money, as an unimpeachable mark-to-market for the entire financial system. We have to stop this nonsense of trying to be all things to all people, we have tradeoffs , they will never go away, recognise this and build around it. Stop the hand wringing already !
