less than 2 years ago, CB actually advocated for dynamic blocks.. then all a sudden his care of bitcoin diminished and he went to defending the blockstream "elitist developers"

there is no point arguing with CB or lauda. all they want to do is meander the topic away from technical debate
such as
segwit does not solve quadratic spam because malicious users will just use native keys to bypass it.
segwit does not solve malleability double spend scams because malicious users will just use native keys to bypass it.

but lauda and CB cant rebut the truth. so they will start the poking the bear of personal attacks and then raise a victim card when the attacks play back at them.

best to just laugh at their well know tricks and stick to the technicals. let them go silently into the background offering nothing to the topic.

so keeping to the topic.
segwit is not a solution and is not needed. thats why the majority of th pools are undecided or not advocating for segwit.
along with the fact that blockstream failed by thinking they could get it in just with a pool vote, without needing to have a bilateral split back door.

blockstream should just get a segwit tx into a block to prove the "backward compatibility" and safe non event they promise.
if they refuse they will never win confidence
