To scale or not to scale?

Shall we change the section title?
W.r.t. the content, now we cite two references but I think we should close the section saying something like "The scalability matters"

Title

For me it's ok, but I let you consider an alternative "The quest for scalability", although it is an implicit copy to the paper "The quest for scalability in blockchain fabric".

Content

  1. Eventually, when you say that Ethereum can reach a throughput of 15 transactions per second we can also point to our tests that confirm this official value
  2. The section is closed with this sentence

This shows how all the Ethereum community founders included believes that the scalability is a major concern and an actual bottleneck in the employment of the technology.

That already points out that the scalability matters. Do you have a proposal for additional/alternative sentences?

Maybe we can move this section before the background. This is the Motivation for the analysis of scalability.

Please consider also the title "Motivation", although I find already ok, the current title :)

If we want something more classic, "Motivation" is a good alternative. Classic or atypical?

Good question... Atypical?

Atypical :)
