Very interesting to see

-large full nodes not catastrophic for decentralization
-will be a long time before 'visa scale' needed
-can see a world where offchain freely competes with onchain

Pretty different stance than the rhetoric of today.  Gee, I wonder why...

Why cant people's opinions change over time?

You're really trying to sell me the idea that this is totally unrelated...and that the other Blockstream paid devs is unrelated. ok.

Why choose risky methods like a hardfork when a soft fork gets the job done?

A HF isn't risky if the community is behind it.  This is the lie that Core told everyone
to stall the scaling...and it worked.
