This observation maps really well to the U.S. political system (i.e. “Democrats are the evil party, and Republicans are the stupid party”) Question: do you think the tech forward approach suffers from the same failure modes as scapegoating? It stops working if too many people are aware of it as a release valve.

As a bigblocker that also lived through the Blocksize War I mostly agree with your take. For me the extreme censorship practiced by smallblockers was unacceptable. And seeing how LN fared out, with most users going through custodial services, I believe bigblockers were right.

This was my favorite moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKe-zr_pvYk I was sitting on the side lines back then, I watched it all but hardly understood much of what was going on.

Have you checked out the new Adaptive Blocksize Limit that just launched on BCH a couple weeks ago? Seems like a well thought out system based on moving averages. Would be nice to have something like that in ETH vs manual limit tweaks. https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/ebaa https://blog.bitjson.com/bitcoin-cash-upgrade-2024/

Good work...Another ETH's huge success comes from EIP, though it's inherited from BIP, this open cooperation model works well! But unfortunately ETH community has never enhanced it with any incentive consensus, which is finished by my team with 5years work: https://gamma.app/docs/What-is-Proof-of-Value-y5jaiy0hj5bdqzb
