Wow. You clearly have very poor understanding of what you are talking about.

"The internet says Bitcoin doesn’t scale because everyone has to run a node. "

Nope, noone says that ...

People says it does not scale because ...

Well : it does not scale.

There's a hard limit of 7 transaction / s max worldwide ! Every transaction is public and added forevere in a giant / ever-growing blockchain (150 Gb currently).

Also, it does not scale because of the proof of work, requiring currently the power of Argentina to valiate a ridiculously low number of transactions (400 000 per day).

Which makes each transaction use 600 000 x time more energy than Visa.

Have you heard about something called "climate change" and "6th massive extinction of speicies" ?

Bitcoin is not a solution to anything and a major disaster. It's a giant ponzi scheme with an insane environmental cost.
