80 transactions per second is 6.9 million transactions per day.  That is a LOT. @p{par}

PayPal was doing @p{(link}about 2 million transactions per day@p{link)} in 2008; if there are three times as many bitcoin transactions as PayPal transactions in a few years that would be a very good problem to have, and I'm confident "we" would figure out how to deal with lots of transactions. @p{brk}
