quoting for posterity..

Of course, I'm a bit exaggerating this but, here it is

So, we shouldn't increase the blocksize unless we manage to get quantum computers in our smartphones basically..

didnt you even listen to the first 60 seconds

blocks USED TO be slow because transactions were sent twice.. once at zero confirm relay and again combined in a block at confirm with the header..

well things have moved on since 2017..

funny part is in june 2017 they very same devs of blockstream were screaming blue murder abuot saying no to 2mb, saying no to 4mb. not due to any real risk. but due to it not being THEIR plan.. and a couple months later they say 4mb is safe..

realise they pretend there are risks of needing a subscription service they want to offer for block storage if blocks get too big , spouting how it would require servers for blockchains if blocks get bigger .. becasue it double promotes their business plan. A makes people want their commersial subnetworks and abandon bitcoin or be fooled into using their subscription software-as-a-service thing they are hoping to develop

but if you actually look at the real world, outside of their pitches and pitchforks.. you will see that 4mb/10minute is less than dialup speeds in reality

heck 4mb on clearnet is such a non-problem. that they dont even see it as a problem on darknet(tor) which is 10x slower+

as for the 8yo salespitches about hard drive bloat..
well if they cared about lean blockchains they would:
fix their exploit of meme junk.
fix the cludgy code that segregates input-output 1mb witness 3mb walls. to be a unified 4mb space to allow true bitcoin input-output utility in the full 4mb space to allow more transaction count.

but when you realise why thy allow more bloat but dont want to expand transaction count.. you soon learn its not about bitcoin efficiency. its not about expanding bitcoin utility for more of the community to use. its not about making bitcoin economically viable.. its simply to give bitcoiners an expensive head USING bitcoin, so that people are forced(for convenience) to use middle man services/subnetworks they own

to realise why blockstream frontmen say what they say, you wont find the answer in any technical risk detail of internet speeds or hard drive costs.. you will however find their reasoning for thir words when you see who sponsors them to get on stage
