Jbreher should be joining his BCHABC - BTC-SV friends at r/btc. He can shit on Segwit/LN and Core dev. 24/7.

He will be loved over there but here he's just a moron.

Likely, jbreher "feels" as if he is performing a greater service these here parts. Doing "god's work," so to speak.*

* NO jbreher. I don't mind at all putting words into your mouth(or brain)... Cheesy

The only kind of contributory service that you seem to be providing around here is as a common grounds "punching bag." Thanks for that. Roll Eyes

NOT

The only "feels" I see are coming from his opposition. Every post I've skimmed that was directed against him today was essentially completely worthless. All personal attacks and ideological horseshit over rigorous arguments.

I second it. His technical points are well taken. I haven't seen the real answer besides that answers would be provided in due time.
Personally, I am fully on btc team as the only fork coins I ever had came from forks, not by buying.

That said, I wished that we would be a bit farther along in LN and possibly in LN onboarding.
two points that he (jbreher) contends: fees are bound to go sky high and LN cannot onboard all earthlings if every on-boarding event is a single on-block tx (not batched).
While we were largely not looking, next block fees went up to $1 (from 2c in Jan).
It is still OK for largish tx, but makes little sense when you need to stitch together many UTXO (consolidate, as miners do).
I also don't like dismissive attitudes of someone's position when this position is clearly articulated.
Instead of calling names, provide an argument.

He is technically right in that BTC should increase its blocksize soon. He is wrong in that any of the forks have anything to do with Bitcoin nor will ever do. There is only one Bitcoin and that is BTC. If that ever changes, say goodbye to crypto (all of it) as a store of value.

He is also wrong in that scaling should come on blocksize alone. The only functional way to really scale massively is via L2. You can increase capacity by increasing blocksize, but you can only SCALE by L2.

He is right in some things, wrong in others.... why are we still discussing this over and over?

BCH, BSV, etc etc are not and will not ever be Bitcoin. Same as LTC (for which I have some preference) won't be either, nor DOGE or BTG. There is nothing to argue about that.

I would prefer if we started discussing about a (reasonable and linear ie 2x, maybe even 4x) block size increase of *Bitcoin*. That would be way more productive, if at all.
