we're going to need some big event to justify the rise, blocksize limit / scalability being solved would probably be enough.

You really think we can scale tho? I'm starting to see Bitcoin as a kind of flawed masterpiece. Is it fixable?

I think this is all mostly posturing from two political camps. Neither trying to concede anything in an effort to determine the trajectory of a compromise. Hard to get "consensus" on a fix for something that's not broken, yet.
this is fairly informative, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability
as is, bitcoin sorta scales, with some optimizations it can scale no problem.
the idea that everyone should be able to run a full node on any internet connection with crap computer might have to be abandoned tho.
