Monero has serious problems with scalability and now some devs want to cap the blocksize @ 90MB.

I think this is a good idea, it will protect Monero to operate in the niche of extreme privacy.

For world scale P2P digital cash we have Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which scales extremely well.

The block size is already unintentionally capped at ~100MB due to the details of the block sync protocol and server packet limits in monerod. The hard cap of 90MB that is being discussed in the MRL would be an explicit stopgap measure before other parts of the daemon broke, potentially causing net splits. Almost all proponents of this cap would be okay removing it in a future hard fork after the technical issues have been resolved.

Makes sense, I think they should cap it even lower. Monerod definitely cannot handle even 90MB blocks today.
