This is a good answer, and technical 4MB means 8MB potential...right?

I also got confused. I don't know if he meant increasing x4 would be fine or if the current 4 virtual MB size is sufficient.
I’d support an increase, but only to 4MB. Currently the limit is effectively 2MB, but that’s because the old 1MB limit on blocks is still in effect and segwit just works around this to include other data like signatures outside of that space.
No.
The current limit is technically 4MB. The only increase I would potentially support is changing the segwit rule about signatures versus transaction data and make that 1MB limit increase to 4MB, which would standardize blocks and get rid of the discounts for signature data and such.
gun to my head, I like this move. But maybe a super duper trusted person who I know would keep my sats safe
