Topic: [2017-04-02] Lerner Offers a Block Size Compromise with Segwit2MB (Read 263 times)
Segwit and BU represent the two possible distractions from the healthy balance of the early Bitcoin: the parasitic direction and centralized direction, respectively. These two forces will emerge (in one form or another) in every altcoin as well, no matter what it looks like. Bitcoin, because of its size, is just the first coin that arrived to this junction in all its severity. Don’t allow the self image of “advanced, coherent communities” which many altcoins sell to affect you so much.

BU is trying to force their way on community, could do it with only 51%. Segwith takes 95%, so it needs to be nearly unanimous to activate. Segwit significantly mitigates need for BU, and with lightning network on top the blocksize issue would more or less disappear, while BU is just a bandaid on antiquated tech.
