Re: If we didnt had idiots blocking segwit we would be sittting on 4 figures by now
It just happens that BU has taken philosophically the correct approach to the problem.
I agree but BU is not better than Segwit.
BU can be capped at any size by miners and nodes
Segwit is ugly and would cripple range protocol forever
BU cannot make Bitcoin mainstream with just bigger blocks, you cannot hardfork from 1mb to 1 gig
The internet cannot even handle 1 gig blocks, so BU dev aint skilled enough for that, BU is just a short-term fix.Claiming Segwitt is ugly and woud cripple is false it fits for BU better.
Bitcoin needs extra layers to make it mainstream, Segwit will fulfill that job.
