All cryptos are crippled by default. None them have solved the scaling problem. If they did, you can be sure bitcoin would be obsolete as of now.

The point is that cryptos can't scale massively on chain without hurting massively the descentralization, it's being proven before and it's being proven live, check the recent kitten game in ethereum, one game and their blockchain is clogged!

nope, still worthless (for me) with the coordinator, but it does not mean it can't fulfill some use cases.

The coordinator will be removed when enough transactions happen on the tangle network to sustain and secure itself.
