I think you're arguing for the remittance use case but this has been shown to be inefficient compared to other methods [0][1][2]. Maybe lightning network will change that but again, it is just a wild guess from crypto-fans right now... and that's my point: why are we spending so much on hunches? Why aren't we building this thing responsibly if we know it costs so much in electricity?
