"Hyperbolic nonsense", yeah maybe, we all got an opinion. Some more credible than others. (ftr not a dig at Lauda)
It doesn't matter whether you have a opinion or not when it is logically wrong. Saying that Segwit will never make a difference is wrong. As soon as we start seeing Segwit transactions (i.e. we reach any kind of improvement, e.g. 1.05MB), we will notice the improvement.
I'm sure you just read it wrong.
I mostly said segwit will take a long time to have any effect on block space.
but I did also say segwit will have no effect in the event it never gets adopted.
That is a possibility. It is not logically wrong. It maybe against your opinion.
