From 25,000 to 2.5M daily tx are two orders of magnitude. 100x. BCH as is can take any media hysteria in the short term (2 years). And easy fix of burst relay gets us to 8M daily tx.
Aright I'm with you there. Although there is the so called "fidelity effect" where you want to be able to show bigger buisinesses that this thing isn't going to choke under pressure
and just removing the limits is just a PR, or even outright lie, if one wants to use that as a proof that it won't choke. Software needs optimization, and removing the bottlenecks.
I don't think that's what anyone is claiming. The "remove of the limit" rhetoric acknowledges that miners wont try to propagate a block that has a high probability of getting orphaned.
But is it. I saw many times 'fidelity problem' and rhetoric 'remove the limit to show the chain can scale'. Remove the bottlenecks, that's the way to show haw the chain can scale.
Simply, software is not optimized and can not use hardware resources, even if limits are removed. There are many bottlenecks to be removed before we can show BCH won't choke.
And BCH is not yet there - with current software implementations it will choke under >8M daily TX volume, no matter if the block limit is even removed, or not.
