I think it’s more simpler than this. I’d make the argument that Bitcoiners don’t actually understand Bitcoin. If that statement is true, then we have a limited understanding of what the blocksize even is. Why are we trying to change something we don’t yet fully understand?

Glad to see these convos on Nostr!

Yeah, and the world may adapt by sending the overwhelming majority of users through ETFs and trusted third parties. The most convenient way to "scale Bitcoin" is an exercise in centralization.

I’m thinking about why adjusting economic inputs is an exercise in centralization. Do you mean that because the action requires coordination it is de facto centralized? Or maybe because the intent is to benefit some group—the ability to focus specific attention is evidence of centralization?
