Bitcoin was designed to be a replacement for real life cash, but it ultimately failed in this role

The BTC implementation clearly has failed in this role, but not Bitcoin protocol (look at BCH, for instance)

Bitcoin was intended to be funded entirely by transaction fees

Transaction fees used to be free, but miners started to require at least 1 sat/b, to prevent "spamming" the mempool, so... no.

Except people wanting to do more than 15 transactions a minute It's more like 7 transactions per second, which is still absolute crap, but that was after the original Bitcoin project was kidnapped. There aren't such limitations in the original Bitcoin (forked as Bitcoin Cash)

Or that to scale everyone would need to store a petabyte size blockchain That is addressed in the whitepaper (SPVs and pruning)

Sabotaging Bitcoin 7 months ago

This solution to this issue is extremely simple, but I bet it will never be implemented in Bitcoin BTC. That's one of the reasons why it forked in 1 August 2017.
