Thanks Cassie really enjoyed it. Two questions:
i) why do you dismiss solana, and other "not-quite-a-blockchain" protocols? 
ii) the article doesn't seem to cover what the cracks are with larger block size. how's you summarize?
ii) selfishly curious what your view of Mina is in this landscape.

i) I’m not dismissing them, rather I’m pointing out that they aren’t quite a blockchain as it is, which is a reason they are not seeing the same scalability problems.

ii) larger block sizes are one of the ways more data can fit, but those with max caps never reach them, because other forces are slowing things do

What are those other forces in your opinion? In our experience it's mostly the cost of state proofs (in mina's case zkps) + general optimizations around networking
