Too many people that don't even follow dev calls, standups, or even notes all still think/expect Vitalik is doing it all or will be.
Muggles need to realize how many different teams are now working on several implementations of various portions of code to aid in scalability. And they've been doing so the entire year, some of them much longer.
And what you want to say? That this is not possible to increase TPS? Why than other projects have testnet and even mainnet with more TPS than Ethereum now? And they have less money for development.
Vitalik was announced hardfork for November this year, but than announced another date (14-15 January next year. And thi is just only one month left, so Constantinople almost ready I think
No no, absolutely not! TPS will certainly be increased...that's the whole point of "scalability".
I just see a lot of newbie accounts calling out "I hope Vitalik does xyz to make Ethereum better"....but Vitalik himself is trying to position himself out of such a role, such that he doesn't work like a check point or even a gate for development and improvements. Obviously, a lot of current scalability plans and strategies are ideas that came from V, but more and more so, those that follow the github repos and the dev teams are seeing he's moving out of focus. Development and improvements in general do not (and should not) depend solely on the V man.
, wish i bought some bch just 2 days back
