is there a TL;DR?

I have not kept up with the overly long debate of "Dah Blohk Seyez"

thanks

Big Blockers : Artificial block size limit relies on a central authority decision on limit vs market dynamics. Undermines the proposition of being able to transact on chain, contrary to philosophy of "being able to send payments without going through a financial institution". Anyone that disagrees is a moron set to destroy bitcoin.

Small Blockers : Increasing block size makes it i) harder to run a node, ii) favours big miners, both of which increase centralisation. Anyone that disagrees is a moron set to destroy bitcoin.


And what do you think? Both sides are wrong (and therefore morons)?

He already said is on the former camp (Big Blockers). Still he's summarising the content of this thread rather small/big blocks argument in a more general fashion. More to the point a few posts ago he did try to address the quite polarized attitude that pervades this thread.
