I don't have anything against Gmaxwell, but comments like this point out that bitcoin is nothing more than a technocratic dictatorship:
the 2MB from segwit is more than enough for current loads
How can you even claim something is "decentralized" when people speak like this in the demeanor of a central planner in Beijing? Yea yea, we've heard the "only rocket scientists should be allowed to design the rockets" meme before, but there's no reason anyone should willfully submit themselves to a technocracy when you can live as a free man with no ruler and just use gold and silver instead. Bitcoin is a step BACKWARDS in freedom, not forwards.
Centralized mining, centralized development, price based on artificial scarcity of coin count, fee system that doesn't work without artificial scarcity of block size. The whole thing is honestly a complete joke compared to metals. If anything is based around magic numbers and artificial scarcity, any price above zero is also going to be artificial.
Promoting that everyone on earth use the same artificially scaling constrained coin is also an extreme pro-usury stance since it's inevitable fees would be astronomical (LN doesn't work in a decentralized manner either to fix that). The only way to fix it would be a dynamic block size like Monero, but then people would just pile onto it and it would cease functionining and implode anyway. There are no solutions to any of this stuff. All roads in digital currency lead to a huge step backwards from gold and silver in terms of sound money and freedom.
