So increasing the blockchain (in size, per block) is not a solution and decreasing it isn't either?
I find this, illogical. What are you proposing?
What he probably means is that pruning does nothing to increase transactions per second.
Are you sure it's just that..?
Increasing the block size and pruning would be a decent solution, for now.
He isn't proposing anything. He just likes to be special.
There this guy who did some decent work back in 2013.
His success plateaued a couple years ago but the rest of Bitcoin continued to grow. His accomplishments aren't nearly as important or impressive today as they were in the past.
He also gets off on leading a cult of personality, but unfortunately as his relative importance to Bitcoin shrinks due to Bitcoin's continued growth relative to his plateauing, his ability to attract and maintain the cult is shrinking.
This means that in order to satisfy his ego, he needs Bitcoin to stop growing.
So he's one of those people.
