🤯 how did I not realize that the block size war was about entrenching big tech into the industry. Learn something new everyday.

Exactly. Had very little to do with block size. Arguably a bigger block size is better. But segwit actually was roughly a 2x block size increase anyway.

I dove down this rabbit hole a few times. Convoluted to uncover what actually happened and what is just remnants of the smear campaigns. TBH I'm always just a bit disappointed merchant adoption and retail use didn't catch on or develop faster.

And the crazy part is, their scaling “solution” was such a total failure that even the industry with all their resources couldn’t find a way to profit from it, so they invented PoS shitcoins instead.

Damn lightbulb moment for me thank you.
