Bitcoin lacks the properties of p2p digital cash.
* Transactions are not anonymous.
* Transactions are slow.
* Transactions are expensive.
* Core developers neutered bitcoin so that regular people need "layer 2" solutions (a trusted third party?) provided by companies that employ said developers.
But hey, number go up or something.
I don't see the word "layer" anywhere in this document. The doc reads as if the blockchain itself is bitcoin.

I'm not an expert, but this doesn't look like the bitcoin I read about. Miners, node runners, and devs _could_ fix it. I wouldn't know where to start.
