I'd agree if BTC wasn't such a mess.

But it's not.  Segwit + Core conceded on hardfork = 3.2mb blocks in 2017.  I see the glass ceiling on BTC price coming off mostly around 8-10MB blocks, so it's not far off.  

But about Monero, I think I saw Peter Todd claiming the Bitpay or something or other company's idea for dynamic block size was a "broken" idea the other day.  Wasn't Bitpay's idea the same thing Monero already uses?  What was the difference in the two?  I would find it hard to believe he would say that solely because of a missing non-zero block reward.  Someone needs to question the Todd and get him to clarify these statements as they relate to Monero.

Do have a source for the Peter Todd comments? I would be interested in reading them.

No explanation why though:

given that poor communication it’s no surprise that we’re seeing fundamentally broken proposals like BitPay’s Adaptive Block Size Limit

And here Peter Todd loses his mind thinking that he is somehow in control of bitcoin + reveals the Blockstream agenda:
Quote from: Peter Todd
Would I personally support doing a hard fork that was expected to activate within two or three months as a replacement for that capacity increase, if techniques like the above were used? If major industry players were willing to commit to layer 2 solutions, I’d be willing to support something like a forced soft fork, and I’d be willing to support a coin voting hard fork even if they didn’t.
