We should stop talking about "transactions" and start talking about "settlements". Words matter to imagination. When hearing "transaction", people think of paying for a coffee - "settlement" sounds more like something, that banks do, something bigger, more serious.

"A single Bitcoin settlement can finalize thousands of single transactions or millions of lightning payments.
How many settlements per minute does Visa have? None!"
