I used to believe that Core should compromise, and hard fork to 2mb block sizes! What did I know, I was a newbie. Haha!
i honestly don't understand how you made that conclusion based on the things you mentioned here!
basically you are saying that because the people who support a proposal might have been dishonest that makes the proposal bad! so technically if someday Roger Ver publicly announces that Segregated Witness is one of the best proposals of all time, you must dump bitcoin and get out because a dishonest person supported a certain proposal!
well that mentality doesn't make any sense to me.
I told you, I listened to the wrong people in the forum, and I was a newbie. Segwit is the compromise.
If someday Roger Ver publicly announces he supports Segwit? Then I would say he saw the light. Welcome back Mr. Ver.

with that said i still support the 2 MB hard fork aka the SegWit2x proposal and don't give a shit who started it. and am still against the exaggerated hard forks to much bigger blocks that BCH hard fork was proposing and similarly don't give a shit who started it.
and i do believe that eventually we have to also increase the block size if we want things such as LN to work. but before that we hopefully get other things such as Schnorr and signature aggregation to squeeze as much scaling as possible out of the current 4 MB block weight.
p.s. remember that you are only a newbie if you blindly follow a herd just because the social media tells you to. the code is law, the rest like reddit is just noise.
You support the group behind the NYA which tried to undermine the community? Ok, that's no problem for me, it failed at any rate.
But let's get back on the conspiracy theory of Gavin, Faketosi, and Mike Hearn's push for big blocks. Is there a probability that their objective was to undermine Bitcoin's decentralization?
P.S. Yes, I was a newbie. I know better now. A hard fork to bigger blocks will amputate the network of nodes, it will split it because it would never have consensus, plus big blocks are inherently centralizing. Segwit is the compromise.
