The size of the chain is not really much of a problem now i think.
But if adoption was scaled up it would be.
We know this because of Bitcoin's chain.
So i think what users are saying is that there is a problem.. eventually.
And Monero is destined to repeat the problem BTC faces.. centralization etc.
In other words Monero had or "has" the opportunity to find a better way to handle the matter.
But it is not.
If Monero gets as big as BTC one day it will end up suffering from the size issues BTC faces.
So it's silly that this failure is repeating itself all over again.
Shouldn't we be learning from the mistakes Bitcoin made with an Altcoin ?
Isn't that the point here ?
Kind of a worthy point to bring up when shills flog it chanting it's "superior"
