Can we not have code that does both?
Can some one answer this, why would it not satisfy both parties?
why could BU people not accept segwit code as this seem to just make the block size more efficient and Segwit people accept BU as this just allows block size to be larger
Are not Segwit and BU solutions orthogonal to each other for the most part and so can both exist in a mutually beneficial manner?
Can some one address this?

Segwit allows for optimization which gives a scaling side effect while keeping the basic status quo and network decentralized.
BU allows for direct increase of on-chain scaling which give more power to miners and centralizes the network.

They are both opposites.
Each are killing blows to the others "world view" (bitcoin world).

Personally, I believe that decentralization is our only purpose and where the value comes from.
There is no other system in the world currently that does what Bitcoin does.
The world doesn't need another Paypal.
